Counselling Support to Help you Find Relief from Anxiety

Anxiety Therapy in Calgary

Helping You Reconnect with Calm, Confidence, and Clarity

Feeling anxious from time to time is part of being human. But when anxiety begins to overshadow your daily life—affecting your focus, sleep, relationships, or ability to enjoy what used to bring you joy—it may be time to reach out for support.

At Core Psychology, we work with individuals who are tired of feeling stuck in patterns of worry, restlessness, or fear. Whether anxiety is new to you or something you've been carrying for a long time, therapy can help you regain a sense of stability and control.

Common Signs of Anxiety

Anxiety can affect people in different ways. Some people experience it physically, while others feel it more emotionally or mentally. Common symptoms include:

• Feeling constantly on edge or overwhelmed

• Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep

• Irritability or frequent mood swings

• Physical Symptoms like Muscle tension, headaches, or stomach discomfort

• Trouble concentrating or racing thoughts

• Avoidance of certain situations, people, or places

• Panic attacks or a fear of having one

• Difficulty making decisions or feeling "frozen"

• Relying on distractions, substances, or overworking to cope

You might find yourself avoiding activities or people you care about just to keep your anxiety at bay. The good news is: anxiety is treatable. With the right support, you can develop tools to better understand and respond to these experiences.

Types of Anxiety We Work With

We support clients through a variety of anxiety-related challenges, including:

• Generalized Anxiety – Persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations

• Panic Disorder – Intense surges of fear or panic, often with physical symptoms

• Social Anxiety – Fear of being judged or negatively evaluated in social settings

• Phobias – Intense, specific fears that interfere with daily life

• Obsessive-Compulsive Patterns – Intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors

• Health Anxiety – Persistent worry about physical health and well-being

• Perinatal Anxiety – Anxiety during pregnancy or in the postpartum period

• Anxiety related to ADHD, trauma, grief, or burnout

Many people experiencing anxiety also struggle with related concerns like depression, perfectionism, or difficulties in relationships. We take the full picture into account.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s fueling your anxiety, and learn practical ways to move forward. Together, we’ll identify patterns that are no longer serving you and explore strategies to help you feel more grounded.

We use a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, which may include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – To recognize and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – To help you take values-based action even in the face of anxiety

• Mindfulness and emotion regulation techniques

• Exposure-based strategies – When avoidance has become a major obstacle

• Attachment-informed or trauma-focused work – If early experiences contribute to current anxiety

• Collaborative planning around medical or lifestyle supports, if appropriate

You don’t need to have it all figured out before starting therapy. Our role is to help you sort through the noise and reconnect with what matters most to you.
