ANXIETY
In moderation, anxiety is normal. It can help us, giving important information about our internal and external experience. However, when anxiety becomes debilitating, it's time to get help.
Many people don’t recognize their symptoms as problem anxiety because they’ve experienced it from a young age, and it’s been such a consistent part of everyday life.
Common symptoms of anxiety are:
- Feeling nervous, restless, or tense
- A sense of impending danger, panic or doom, increased heart rate
- Rapid breathing (hyperventilation), Sweating, and/or Trembling
- Feeling weak or tired
- Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry
- Difficulty sleeping, insomnia
- Experiencing gastrointestinal (GI) problems, Experiencing nausea
- Difficulty controlling worry
- Avoiding anxiety triggers - even when they NEED to be done
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders involve repeated episodes of sudden and intense anxiety and fear, also known as panic attacks.
Panic attacks are difficult to control and can interfere with daily activities. You may avoid places or situations to avoid feelings
of anxiety.
Examples of anxiety disorders include:
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Social anxiety disorder (social phobia)
- Substance-induced anxiety disorder
- Panic disorder
- Agoraphobia
- Separation anxiety disorder
- Anxiety disorder due to a medical condition
- Specific phobias
Many people can experience symptoms of anxiety throughout their lives. But if you or a loved one is struggling with anxiety, reach out to the Wholeness Psychology Centre, and we can help you to better understand what is happening for you and the treatment that will work best.

Anxiety is a natural part of life and can offer valuable insight into our internal and external experiences. But when anxiety begins to interfere with daily functioning or becomes overwhelming, it may signal a deeper mental health concern. Our individual therapy and counselling services in Sherwood Park, AB support adults facing anxiety, life transitions, and other mental health challenges—helping you regain clarity, balance, and personal growth.

If this is you or someone you know, reach out to the Wholeness Psychology Centre to access our counselling services. We can help you find a treatment for your experience.
Challenges with Substance or Behaviours
Many people use substances such as drugs or alcohol or engage in certain behaviours to relax, have fun, experiment, or cope with stress, relationship struggles, chronic pain or childhood trauma.
For some people, however, the use of substances or engaging in certain behaviours can become problematic because it can lead to a compulsive engagement with a stimulus (substance use or behaviours), despite harmful consequences, making it challenging to maintain a healthy life.
An over-reliance on substances or activities (even mental health services) can result in an inability to connect into life and other people in ways that will ultimately bring greater fulfillment.
Has your substance use or behaviour become a problem?
Stressors, such as job loss, post Traumatic Stress Disorder, workplace injury, relationship problems or separation, etc., can greatly impact your substance use or behaviour, causing engagement with a stimulus to go
from non-problematic to problematic.
These 4 areas will help you to get some clarity and
understanding of your relationship with a particular substance
or behaviour:

Grief and Loss
Grief and Loss
With every life transition comes both a loss and a new beginning. Difficult changes—especially those involving the loss of someone or something deeply meaningful—can bring up intense grief and other mental health Issues.
Coping with loss is one of the most profound personal challenges we face. While grief is often associated with the death of a loved one, any significant change can trigger it. Our counselling services in Sherwood Park, AB support individuals through grief, life transitions, and their broader mental health journey.
Our psychological services are designed to help individuals and family members gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, relationships, and personal growth. Through personalized treatment plans and supportive counselling sessions, we address life challenges that can impact mental health, self esteem, and overall well being. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, or complex family dynamics, our goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space to support lasting change and personal resilience.

Whatever type of loss you’ve experienced, there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. Grief is a deeply personal part of the mental health journey, and the process can involve a wide range of emotions over varying periods of time—with natural ebbs and flows along the way.

Acting now is the best time to get the skills and a plan to move forward. Symptoms tend to get worse over time, and left untreated, can become worse.
So if you're struggling or starting to feel hopeless, it's time to seek help.
Acting now is the best way to build coping strategies and create a plan for personal growth. Mental health conditions often worsen over time, and without support, symptoms can escalate into more serious mental health issues.
If you're struggling with stress management, low self esteem, or relationship issues—or simply feeling overwhelmed—it’s time to seek help through professional counselling services or individual therapy.
