Anxiety
Anxiety isn’t just feeling worried — it’s the constant battle between your mind racing and your body wanting to freeze, making even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming.
Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder is marked by recurring panic attacks—sudden, intense episodes of fear accompanied by physical symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, racing heart, or shortness of breath. These episodes can feel overwhelming and unpredictable, leading many to avoid places or situations where an attack might occur. Panic Disorder can significantly disrupt daily functioning and increase feelings of isolation or fear of losing control. At Harmony Healing Psychotherapy, we use trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions to help you understand the root causes of your panic, reduce avoidance behaviors, and build tools to manage anxiety symptoms with confidence. Virtual therapy is available throughout Ontario and Nova Scotia.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder involves excessive worry about everyday situations—work, health, relationships, or the future—that feels difficult to control. People with GAD often experience restlessness, muscle tension, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating or sleeping. The worry may seem constant and intrusive, even when there’s no immediate threat. At Harmony Healing Psychotherapy, we provide evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation to help reduce chronic anxiety and regain a sense of calm and focus. Our virtual services across Ontario and Nova Scotia offer accessible, compassionate support designed to help you feel more grounded in your daily life.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder involves a deep fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social or performance situations. It can show up as intense anxiety when speaking in public, attending social gatherings, or even making eye contact. People with social anxiety may avoid social settings altogether or endure them with great distress. At Harmony Healing Psychotherapy, we help individuals across Ontario and Nova Scotia address the root of their anxiety with compassion and practical tools. Through evidence-based therapies like CBT, exposure work, and self-compassion practices, we support clients in building confidence, navigating social interactions, and living more freely and authentically.
Phobias
Phobias are intense, irrational fears of specific objects or situations—such as heights, flying, needles, or animals—that lead to avoidance and distress. While many people have fears, phobias interfere with daily life and can trigger panic or anxiety. At Harmony Healing Psychotherapy, we work with clients to gently face their fears using proven strategies like gradual exposure, cognitive restructuring, and nervous system regulation. Whether your fear feels new or has been limiting your life for years, therapy can help reduce its hold and restore a sense of safety and confidence. We offer virtual services across Ontario and Nova Scotia to support you wherever you are.
Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviour
Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviour involves persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) performed to ease anxiety. These patterns can feel distressing, time-consuming, and difficult to control. Common themes include fears about contamination, safety, order, or morality. At Harmony Healing Psychotherapy, we use evidence-based therapies such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and CBT to help individuals break free from obsessive-compulsive cycles. Our trauma-informed approach considers the deeper emotional context of OCD and supports long-term healing. Virtual sessions are available across Ontario and Nova Scotia for accessible, consistent care.
