WHEN ANXIETY RUNS THE SHOW

You might recognise this

The racing thoughts at 2am. The chest that tightens before you've even opened your inbox. The exhausting work of looking fine while your mind won't stop. If any of this feels familiar, you're not broken, and you're not alone.

HOW IT WORKS

How we work with anxiety at Auren

Four steps shaped around what you're actually bringing, not a generic worksheet. Practical tools for the loop, plus the deeper work of understanding what your anxiety is trying to tell you.

01

Map the alarm

We get specific about when your anxiety fires: what sets it off, how it shows up in your body, and what it's trying to protect.

02

Work with the system

We develop tools that actually fit your nervous system, with skills you'll use in real life, not just in session.

03

Go underneath

We explore what anxiety is defending, the younger parts of you that learned to stay vigilant, with care and at your pace.

04

Integrate & sustain

We refine what's working, plan for setbacks, and make sure the change holds after therapy ends.

OUR APPROACH

Proven methods, not guesswork

Our therapists draw on the most well-researched approaches for anxiety, so the work you do is grounded in what actually helps the nervous system settle and stay settled.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Identify and shift the thought patterns that fuel worry, panic, and avoidance.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Practical tools to unhook from anxious thoughts and act on what matters to you.

Mindfulness & parts-based work

Understand what your anxiety is protecting, and build a calmer relationship with your own mind.

WHY AUREN WELLNESS

Care that makes the first step easy

With anxiety, reaching out is often the hardest part. We've designed everything around removing the friction, so the hardest step is behind you.

Verified, registered therapists

Every clinician is registered with the CRPO or OCSWSSW and uses evidence-based approaches built for anxiety.

Evidence-based methods

CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness-based work: the most researched approaches for anxiety, not generic advice.

We bill insurance directly

No paying upfront and chasing reimbursement. We bill your insurer directly wherever possible, so cost is one less stressor.

In-person or online

Meet at our Centrepointe office in Ottawa, or from your own couch anywhere in Ontario, whatever feels most comfortable.

Evenings & weekends

Sessions seven days a week, 8am to 8pm, built to fit around work, school, and life, not the other way around.

We'll match you

Female or male, a specific language, or a particular style: tell us what matters and we'll help you find the right fit. Sliding-scale spots available.

YOUR FREE 15-MINUTE CONSULT

No pressure. No cost. Just a conversation.

The hardest part of therapy is often reaching out. So we made the first step tiny: a free 15-minute call to see if the fit feels right, for you, in your own words.

Talk through what's going on

Share as much or as little as you like. There's nothing to prepare and no script to follow.

See if the fit feels right

Fit is the biggest predictor of whether therapy helps. This call is your chance to feel it out, with no obligation to continue.

Leave with a clear next step

We'll help you find the right therapist and book your first session, or simply answer your questions.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you book

How do I know if I should come in for anxiety?

If worry, racing thoughts, or physical tension are getting in the way of your sleep, work, relationships, or peace of mind, that's reason enough. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit; therapy helps whether things feel overwhelming or just persistently off.

Do you take my insurance?

We bill most insurance providers directly, so in many cases you won't pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so mention your provider during your free consult and we'll help you check.

Is the 15-minute consultation really free?

Completely free, with zero obligation. It's a relaxed conversation to help you decide whether a therapist feels like the right fit before you commit to anything.

Can I meet in-person or online?

Both. We offer in-person sessions at our office at 1 Centrepointe Dr, Suite 404 in Ottawa, and secure virtual sessions anywhere in Ontario, so you can meet whichever way feels easiest.

What happens in the first session?

Mostly listening. Your therapist will ask about what's bringing you in, what you'd like to be different, and a bit of background, at your pace. There's nothing to prepare, and you're never pushed to share more than you're ready to.

Can I choose a female or male therapist, or someone who speaks my language?

Absolutely. You can pick a specific therapist from the team above, or tell us your preferences (gender, language, or style) and we'll match you. Several of our therapists offer sessions in languages beyond English, including French, Farsi, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Calmer days start with one conversation

You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. Your free 15-minute consultation is just a click away. No pressure, no cost, and no obligation to continue.
