At Wholesome Psychology, we understand how overwhelming anxiety can be. If you’re feeling stuck in a cycle of constant worry, racing thoughts, or physical tension, you're not alone—and more importantly, you don’t have to face it alone. Based in Edmonton and St. Albert, our team of licensed psychologists offers evidence-based, compassionate anxiety therapy tailored to your unique needs and life experiences.
Understanding Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is more than occasional stress or nervousness. When anxiety begins to interfere with your daily life, relationships, or work, it may be time to seek support. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health challenges, yet they often go untreated due to stigma or lack of access. At Wholesome Psychology, we’re committed to creating a space where healing begins with understanding—not judgment.
An anxiety disorder may manifest in many ways, including:
- Persistent, excessive worry that feels uncontrollable
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, chest tightness, or stomach distress
- Panic attacks, phobias, or social avoidance
- Compulsive behaviors or intrusive thoughts
Whether your anxiety is general, social, panic-related, or trauma-induced, our goal is to help you develop coping tools, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.
Our Therapeutic Approach to Anxiety
Rooted in Gestalt psychology, our practice honors your full lived experience. We believe in a collaborative model of care, where your insights are just as essential as our clinical expertise. Our anxiety treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Instead, it’s a responsive, evolving partnership between you and your therapist.
We integrate multiple therapeutic approaches based on your needs, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to help reframe negative thought patterns
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to support values-based action despite fear
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) – to ground you in the present moment
- Somatic and body-based strategies – to regulate your nervous system
Every session is shaped around your evolving goals, comfort level, and personal story. From the first conversation, we aim to create a warm, attuned, and empowering environment.

Making the Right Match Matters
We know that choosing the right therapist is one of the most important steps in your healing journey. That’s why we offer a reduced-fee initial session with your chosen therapist. This gives you a chance to experience our approach firsthand without financial pressure.
During your first session, we’ll:
- Explore your concerns and what’s been weighing on you
- Discuss therapy goals and expectations
- Co-create a treatment plan that reflects your values
We want you to feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll help you connect with a provider who is.
Group Support and Community Connection
In addition to individual therapy, we offer support groups for individuals experiencing anxiety. Group therapy can reduce isolation, provide new perspectives, and foster meaningful connections. Our groups are carefully facilitated by licensed therapists in a safe, confidential environment.
Whether you're looking for peer support or professional tools to manage stress, our community options offer a meaningful complement to one-on-one sessions.
