Anxiety Therapy & Counselling Vancouver

Is Anxiety your “Default Setting”?

Let’s have a conversation about your anxiety and how I can help.

Book a Brief Intro Call

You know you are a capable and intelligent person, but a persistent hum of static runs in your mind and body. It’s a steady background tension, a mind that refuses to settle, and the exhaustion of constantly “willing” yourself to be okay.

Anxiety isn’t a flaw. It’s your mind’s call to take action to save yourself.  When we understand what your anxiety is protecting — we pave the way for it to loosen its’ grip.

Anxiety may manifest as:

  • Generalized worry
  • Worry in social situations 
  • Fear of crowds or leaving the house
 
In either case, we get to the roots to unroot and dismantle it.

Understanding and Processing Anxiety Loosens its grip

Sticky recurring anxiety, often points to deeper fears and insecurities. To get to those roots, we:

  • Deep dive in your current experience to understand how your current situation is making you vulnerable.
  • Recognize underlying beliefs that quietly shape how you respond to yourself and others
  • Make space to process emotions that may have been difficult to experience or carry alone
  • Explore these patterns within a safe therapeutic relationship, where new experiences can gradually take hold.

As understanding deepens and experiences begin to feel safer, anxiety often loses the urgency it once carried.

This approach may benefit you in any of the cases below:
You feel anxiety has a constant grip on you: Some anxiety is normal, but it shouldn’t dominate your life or wellbeing.
You feel anxious and overwhelmed in social situations: You feel anxious, overstimulated, or on edge around others. 
Relaxing feels dangerous: Even during downtime, your mind stays alert for problems, threats, or the next crisis.
You feel “fine,” but you are exhausted: You are tired of the daily effort it takes to keep the anxiety quiet enough to function.
You’ve outgrown “coping skills”: Breathing exercises, mindfulness, or positive thinking provide short-term relief, but the tension always returns.

How Overthinking therapy in Vancouver benefits you

What results can you expect?

Hi, I am Malahat

I am specialized in depth-oriented and attachment-informed psychotherapy.


I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (# 21215). I work in person in Vancouver, BC & Virtual across all BC.

Therapy is not only a method. It is also a relationship.

 

Many of the patterns that bring people to therapy were once intelligent adaptations — ways of maintaining connection, avoiding hurt, or carrying responsibilities that once felt necessary. Over time, what once kept you safe can begin to keep you stuck.

In therapy, we explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Often, change begins when long-standing expectations about safety and threat are gently challenged by a different experience.

 

• thoughtful

• emotionally grounded
• attentive to complexity

I focus on your goals and plans.
