Anxiety Therapy in Calgary

Anxiety in men:

Any of this familiar?

Constantly on Edge? You have a feeling of constant unease, like you’re always waiting for something to go wrong.

Are “What If” Thoughts Stealing Your Peace? You find yourself constantly thinking about worst-case scenarios, even about the most routine things.

Caught in a Cycle of Overthinking? Your thoughts keep running in circles, making it impossible to relax or focus on what matters.

Avoiding Situations Due to Fear? You have started dodging activities or people you used to enjoy because they now spike your anxiety.

Relying on Quick Fixes? You are increasingly turning to things like a few extra drinks for temporary relief, only to find the anxiety creeping back.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

If any these signs sound familiar, you may have crossed the boundary from normal, healthy levels of nervousness — the kind that most people get before giving a speech in front of an audience — into the realm of constant anxiety.

Living with those levels of anxiety can affect every area of your life, making your comfort zone smaller and smaller until you have a hard time facing anything in life.

If any of these signs or symptoms sound familiar, it could be time to find the right professional, who can help you better manage the symptoms of anxiety.

If you find that your constant racing thoughts and anxious feelings are impacting your life in a negative way, it might be time to get help…

Decoding anxiety in men:

The signs to look out for

Living on a razor’s edge

You’re always bracing for something to go wrong, even in the calmest moments. It’s not just unease; it’s a never-ending state of heightened alert.

Anxiety in dudes is not always obvious

Anxiety in men can be tricky. It often hides behind our daily grind and the whole “tough it out” attitude we often feel stuck with. But getting real about what’s going on inside — spotting those signs — that’s what sets us on the road to sorting it out.

How do you know?

What anxiety in men looks like

Rampant Restlessness:

A relentless feeling of being on edge, as if you’re constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Unexpected panic attacks:

Those moments where your heart races, and a sense of doom overshadows everything.

Avoidance tactics:

Steering clear of people and places that heighten your anxiety.

The vicious cycle of worry:

Relentless worry dominates your thoughts and dictates your actions.

The struggle to concentrate:

Your thoughts race, making it hard to focus or stay present.

Overwhelmed by the ordinary:

Your daily tasks have now become daunting challenges.

There is hope and you can feel better

Anxiety is more than just getting worked up or stressed out every so often. It messes with how you see things, turning everyday situations into something you dread.

It’s like being stuck in a loop, not knowing how to break free. Recognizing the signs is key — it’s not just figuring out what’s wrong; it’s about finding your way back to feeling a sense of normalcy.


It’s about identifying the unhelpful patterns of thought that you find yourself in, and learning proven strategies for dealing with them…

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does men’s anxiety counselling work?

As Registered Therapeutic Counsellors (RTC), we’ve got your back when it comes to unpacking what’s really going on in your head. Whether it’s stress, self-doubt, or the constant spiral of negative thoughts that’s messing with your day, I’m here to help you dig deep and figure out why you’re feeling the way you do.
Maybe you’re stuck in a loop of anxious thoughts, or you’re not sure if what’s stressing you out is real or just a story you’re telling yourself. We’ll work together to break that cycle and get you some clarity.

How do I know if I have an anxiety disorder?

It’s totally normal to feel anxious every now and then—whether you’re prepping for a big meeting, walking into a job interview, or making a life decision. But an anxiety disorder is a different beast. Here’s how you can tell if you’re dealing with more than just nerves:

  • Anxiety is keeping you from living your life how you want.
  • You’re reacting way bigger than the situation calls for.
  • You feel like you can’t control how you’re responding.

If this sounds like you, it might be time to take a closer look at what’s going on during our anxiety counselling sessions.

How long does it take to treat anxiety?

The success of treatment varies, but most people with an anxiety disorder can be helped with professional care. The benefits of anxiety counselling are usually seen in 12 to 16 weeks.

Are sessions online or in-person?

Currently, all sessions are conducted online for your convenience and safety.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on individual needs. We typically recommend 8-12 sessions to start, with the flexibility to adjust as needed. This is because we want to help you make real progress.

Your first couple of sessions will help you feel comfortable and get ready to start digging deeper. Occasionally they may bring up things you weren’t even aware of before, which can cause challenges for you.

The remaining sessions are designed around finding solutions, and helping you experience lasting change, which often takes an investment of time and energy.

What can I expect in my first counselling session?

The intake session includes a review of your intake documents, exploration of your history, and a personalized action plan outlining your therapy goals.

What are your hours?

Appointments are available Monday to Friday from 9-7 pm MST and Saturdays from 9-5 pm MST. Please book a Discovery Call to schedule a session. Book Now.

Is everything discussed in sessions confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a priority, with a few exceptions, such as when someone’s life is in danger or in cases of abuse, by federal or provincial subpoena or if you want information shared with you someone else like your doctor.
