Anxiety Therapy in Calgary

  • Anxiety can feel like a constant weight—racing thoughts, restless nights, and a sense that peace of mind is always out of reach. At Carbon Psychology, we understand how overwhelming anxiety can be, and we’re here to help. Our anxiety therapy in Calgary (and virtually across Alberta and Canada) is designed to give you practical tools, emotional support, and a clear path toward relief.

Signs & Symptoms

Anxiety is more than occasional worry. It’s a pattern of persistent fear, tension, or dread that can interfere with work, relationships, and daily life. For some, it shows up as panic attacks or physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath. For others, it’s a steady stream of “what ifs” and a struggle to relax.

You may benefit from therapy if you notice:

  • Constant worry that feels difficult to control

  • Physical tension, restlessness, or irritability

  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing

  • Panic attacks or sudden waves of fear

  • Avoidance of situations due to anxiety

  • Trouble focusing, staying present, or making decisions
