Anxiety Therapy at Alberta Psychology Group

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. At Alberta Psychology Group, we specialize in providing effective, evidence-based therapy to help you regain control, reduce anxiety symptoms, and live a calmer, more fulfilling life.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety can show up in many forms, and it affects people differently. Some common types of anxiety include:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent worry about everyday events, even when there’s little or no reason for concern.

  • Social Anxiety: Fear or avoidance of social situations due to fear of judgment or embarrassment.

  • Panic Disorder: Sudden, intense episodes of fear or physical discomfort, often without a clear trigger.

  • Phobias: Intense fear of specific situations, objects, or experiences.

  • Health Anxiety: Excessive worry about your health, even with reassurance from medical professionals.

Common symptoms of anxiety include:

  • Persistent worry or fear
  • Physical symptoms like muscle tension, sweating, or a racing heart
  • Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
  • Avoidance of situations or activities
  • A sense of dread or feeling “on edge”

    How Anxiety Therapy Can Help

    Anxiety therapy is designed to address the underlying causes of your anxiety and provide tools to manage symptoms effectively. At Alberta Psychology Group, our therapists work with you to:

    • Identify the triggers and thought patterns contributing to your anxiety.

    • Develop healthier coping strategies to manage stress and fear.

    • Explore and address any past experiences or traumas that may influence your anxiety.

    • Build resilience and confidence to face challenging situations.

    Our Approach to Anxiety Therapy

    At Alberta Psychology Group, we offer personalized, evidence-based treatments tailored to your unique needs. Our approaches include:

    1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    CBT is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety. It focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and developing practical skills to reduce worry and fear.

    2. Trauma-Informed Care

    Anxiety is often linked to past trauma. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that your therapy experience is safe, supportive, and sensitive to the impact of trauma.

    3. Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques

    We integrate mindfulness practices to help you stay present, reduce overthinking, and manage physical symptoms of anxiety, such as tension and a racing heart.

    4. Specialized Therapies

    For clients with specific needs, we may recommend:

    • Exposure Therapy: Gradual and supported exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and build confidence.

    • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Effective for addressing anxiety linked to past trauma.

    • Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: Helps you explore and harmonize the inner “parts” of yourself that may be contributing to anxiety.
