Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety Therapy in Edmonton

Anxiety isn't a character flaw, it's an overprotective alarm system doing its job too well. Garrett helps you understand what's keeping it switched on and gives you tools to turn the volume down.

Anxiety can show up as

  • Racing thoughts you can't switch off
  • A tight chest, restlessness, or trouble sleeping
  • Overthinking, planning for worst-case scenarios
  • Panic attacks that feel like they come from nowhere
  • Avoiding things that 'shouldn't' be a big deal

Get to the root, not just the symptoms

Coping skills matter, but if anxiety keeps coming back, there's usually something underneath driving it. Garrett combines practical, evidence-based tools with deeper work to address why your nervous system is stuck in high alert.

Therapy draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to shift anxious thinking patterns, mindfulness and somatic regulation to calm the body, and, where past experiences are fuelling the anxiety, EMDR to resolve them at the source.

Learn to work with your nervous system

You'll learn how anxiety actually functions in the brain and body, why avoidance makes it stronger, and how to respond to anxious moments without being run by them. The goal isn't to never feel anxious, it's to stop anxiety from making your decisions.

  • Yes. Panic responds well to a combination of understanding what's happening physiologically, body-based regulation skills, and, when relevant, processing the experiences that primed the alarm.

  • Garrett is a psychologist, not a prescriber, and many people manage anxiety well with therapy alone. If medication might help, he'll talk it through and can coordinate with your physician.

  • Many clients leave the first few sessions with practical tools they can use right away. Deeper, lasting change builds over time as the underlying drivers are addressed.
