What Is Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety therapy is clinical treatment that helps you manage excessive worry, panic, and physical symptoms interfering with daily life.
Around 2.6% of Canadians experience generalized anxiety disorder annually. In Calgary alone, that translates to roughly 42,000 people living with GAD each year.
Our approach combines proven techniques like exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, and skills training tailored to your specific anxiety patterns.
What to Expect in Anxiety Therapy
Initial Assessment
Your first session identifies anxiety triggers, physical symptoms, and previous treatment attempts. We establish baseline measurements for tracking progress.
Treatment Planning
We set specific, measurable goals. Examples include reducing panic attacks, managing social anxiety, or decreasing worry frequency.
Active Intervention
You learn evidence-based techniques including nervous system regulation, cognitive restructuring, and exposure therapy. Tools are immediately applicable to real-life situations.
Progress Tracking
We measure changes in anxiety frequency, intensity, and life interference. Most clients report noticeable improvement within 6-8 sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does anxiety therapy typically take?
Most clients see noticeable improvement within 8-12 sessions. Some achieve their goals faster, others benefit from ongoing support for complex anxiety patterns. We measure progress regularly and adjust treatment length based on your specific outcomes.
What if I've tried therapy before and it didn't help?
Many of our clients previously experienced therapy that felt directionless or too slow-paced. Our structured, goal-focused approach differs significantly from exploratory talk therapy. We identify what specifically maintains your anxiety and teach concrete skills to interrupt those patterns.
Do you take insurance?
We do not provide direct billing; however, most major insurance providers in Alberta cover psychological services. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider should you have questions.
What types of anxiety do you treat?
We treat generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, health anxiety, and performance anxiety. If your anxiety relates to trauma, we also offer specialized EMDR therapy for trauma processing.
Can I do therapy online or do I need to come in person?
We offer both in-person sessions at our Calgary office and secure video sessions. Many clients prefer the flexibility of online therapy, while others benefit from the structure of in-person appointments.
