Types of Anxiety Disorders We Treat
Anxiety comes in many forms, and each type requires a unique therapeutic approach. At Life Collective Counselling, we specialize in treating all major anxiety disorders, including:
Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia)
Do you feel intense fear or self-consciousness in social situations? Social Anxiety Disorder can make it challenging to interact with others, speak in public, or even engage in everyday activities. Our therapists help clients build confidence, reduce self-criticism, and develop practical strategies to overcome social fears.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Trauma can leave lasting emotional scars. PTSD often includes flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness. Our anxiety therapists use trauma-informed therapies to help individuals process past events and find relief from distressing symptoms.
Relationship Anxiety
Relationship anxiety can cause constant worry, fear of rejection, and difficulty trusting your partner. You may overanalyze interactions, seek reassurance, or struggle with emotional closeness. This anxiety can impact communication and connection, making relationships feel overwhelming. Therapy helps you build self-confidence, manage anxious thoughts, and develop healthie
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD involves unwanted, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety. Our evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), help clients break free from obsessive patterns and regain control.
Specific Phobias
A phobia is an intense fear of a specific object or situation, such as heights, flying, or animals. These fears can be debilitating, leading to avoidance and distress. Through exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring, we help individuals overcome irrational fears and lead fuller lives.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Do you find yourself worrying excessively about everyday matters? GAD is characterized by persistent and uncontrollable worry, often accompanied by physical symptoms like fatigue, muscle tension, and restlessness. Therapy can help you develop coping skills to manage worry and reduce anxiety’s impact on your well-being.
