Anxiety and Panic Attack Therapy In Vaughan

Break Free from Anxiety and Reclaim Calm and Confidence

Do you feel overwhelmed by constant worry or experience sudden, intense panic attacks? Anxiety can affect every part of your life, from relationships to daily activities. At InnerSight Psychotherapy, we offer a compassionate, evidence-based psychotherapy, including Polyvagal Theory informed approach to help you manage anxiety and panic attacks, and to regulate your nervous system.

The Problem

Anxiety goes beyond occasional stress—it can interfere with your ability to function and feel at ease. Common struggles include:

Persistent worry or feelings of dread.
Intrusive thoughts that won’t go away.
Physical symptoms such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, or dizziness.
Avoidance of situations or places due to fear.
Sudden, overwhelming panic attacks that feel uncontrollable.

Left unaddressed, anxiety and panic can lead to avoidance, reduced confidence, and emotional exhaustion.

The Solution

Our therapy for anxiety and panic attacks is designed to help you regulate your mind and body, manage triggers, and build lasting resilience. At InnerSight Psychotherapy, we use a combination of evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs:

Anxiety and Panic Attack Therapy FAQ

What Is Polyvagal Theory?

Polyvagal Theory explains how the nervous system responds to stress and fear. It focuses on the vagus nerve’s role in regulating your body’s fight, flight, or freeze responses. Therapy informed by this theory helps you recognize and shift nervous system states to foster calm, safety, and connection.

What Causes Anxiety and Panic Attacks?

Anxiety and panic attacks can result from genetics, past experiences, stress, or trauma. They often develop when your body’s natural fear response becomes overactive, which can be addressed through therapy and nervous system regulation.

How Does Therapy Help with Panic Attacks?

Therapy provides tools to understand and manage panic attacks, such as recognizing triggers, calming the body, and reframing fearful thoughts. Polyvagal-informed therapy specifically helps regulate your nervous system during moments of panic.

How Long Does Anxiety Therapy Take?

The duration of therapy varies based on individual needs. Many clients see improvements within 6–12 sessions, though deeper issues may require longer-term support.

Do I Need Medication for Anxiety?

Medication can be helpful for some individuals, but it’s not always necessary. Many clients experience significant improvements through therapy alone. Your therapist can help you explore the best options for your situation.

Is Therapy Confidential?

Yes. All therapy sessions at InnerSight Psychotherapy are completely confidential, providing a safe and private space to discuss your challenges openly.
