Anxiety can look different for each person in Burnaby who reaches out to us. You might lie awake replaying a talk with your boss, feel your chest tighten before a class, or check your phone again and again for a reply. Everyone worries sometimes. It may be time to reach out when the worry keeps getting in the way of sleep, work or time with the people you care about.
You can meet an anxiety counsellor in Burnaby at Burnaby Square on 6th Street, in the Solo District near Willingdon and Lougheed, or at the Boss Business Centre on Production Way. Video sessions are an option too, from anywhere in BC. The free 15-minute consultation lets you ask questions before you decide anything.
What anxiety therapy in Burnaby looks like
Your first contact is the free consultation, by phone or video, with no pressure to book. From there, our intake team suggests counsellors who match what you need, your language and budget, and whether you want to meet in person or online. In a first session of anxiety therapy in Burnaby, your counsellor asks what tends to set the anxiety off, how it feels in your body and what you hope will change. You can share as much or as little as you like.
As you keep going, you may learn ways to settle a racing heart or shallow breathing, notice worried thoughts and look at them from another angle, and take small steps back toward things you have been avoiding. Many people find it helps to have a steady place to practise. You can meet at one of our Burnaby offices or online, whichever feels easier on an anxious day.
