Living with ADHD can feel like you’re always a step behind, even when you’re really trying.
Your mind is always going, but getting started, staying focused, or following through can feel really hard. It can be frustrating, overwhelming, and sometimes even make you doubt yourself.
You might find yourself putting things off, feeling scattered, or wondering why things seem easier for everyone else. And over time, that can feel heavy.
You don’t have to figure it out on your own. Therapy can help you better understand how your brain works and give you simple, practical tools so things start to feel more manageable—and more like you.
Your brain isn’t the problem—the world just wasn’t built for how you work.
The many challenges of ADHD:
Starting things with good intentions but having a hard time following through
Emotions feeling big, intense, or hard to manage
Energy levels going up and down throughout the day
Feeling restless, fidgety, or like you can’t sit still
Noticing more clumsiness or accidents than usual (for you or your child)
Feeling overwhelmed when it comes to organizing things or managing your time
Getting easily frustrated or feeling on edge
Finding it hard to stay focused, even when you’re trying
No matter the challenge, it doesn’t define YOU.
How does Anxiety Therapy work?
Orion Wellness aims to help adults and youth by providing a safe space to break free from anxious thoughts and get back to living in the present.
Your therapist will work with you to create a unique treatment plan that focuses on exploring how anxiety manifests in your life and root causes of your anxiety. Together, you will develop healthy coping strategies to manage your symptoms. The goal is for you to have a reduction in anxious thoughts and physical sensations, while improving your ability to regulate your emotions and express yourself to others so your relationships improve. We are here to support you through your journey to gain peace of mind and self-confidence in your ability to heal from anxiety and live your life on your terms.
Anxiety therapy can help lighten the heavy load you’re carrying…
Excessive Worries & Fears
Persistent worries about every day things like finances, health, school, work, & family, and this intense fear that something bad will happen.
Physical Sensations
Racing heart, sweaty hands, shortness of breath, dizziness, stomach and gut issues, jitteriness, diarrhea/constipation, and feeling lightheaded.
Avoidance Behaviours
Not doing things you want to do like leaving the house or travelling because you think you’ll feel anxious, and procrastinating/putting off plans.
Racing Mind
Difficulty concentrating because your mind just won’t “turn off,” and intrusive thoughts which lead to sleep disturbances, overwhelm, and irritability.
Discomfort in Social Settings
Avoiding deep relationships or going out to spend time with others, constant worries that other people are judging you - feeling embaressed/rejected.
Difficulties Relaxing
Hypervigilance (feeling constantly on edge), emotional numbness, external pressures, perfectionism, muscle tension, and just feel like you can’t “shut off.”
Sleep Struggles & Nightmares
Poor sleep - can’t fall asleep or stay asleep, fear of a “bad dream,” vivid dreams that are disturbing, waking up and still feeling tired, and insomnia.
Feelings of Overwhelm
Nervousness, restlessness, tension, panic, doom, impending danger, and feeling like nothing you do is ever good enough.
Anxiety Therapy can include the following modalities:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviours that increase excessive anxiety.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them and aims to change their relationship with anxious thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them entirely.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is designed to help clients process and reframe memories, reducing the emotional impact of previous experiences that cause anxiety symptoms.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to improve emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
What should I expect from Anxiety Therapy?
Just like all therapy, connection with your therapist is going to be the most important part. Take the time to ensure you feel there is a good fit between you and your therapist.
Everyone’s therapeutic plan will be unique to their needs and goals, however, we recommend 8-12 weekly sessions.
In the first session, your therapist will complete a thorough assessment, help you explore your triggers, and how you’ve been coping thus far. Together you will create a unique treatment plan that will help you feel a reduction in your anxiety symptoms.
Your therapist will help you develop tools and strategies immediately that you can use in your every day life. Our hope is for you to feel some relief right away. Ongoing progress will be evaluated throughout your healing journey.
You may start to notice an improvement in your ability to manage your triggers, control your reaction to your anxious thoughts and feelings, and feel confident in your ability to manage everyday stressors.
The hope is to feel an improvement in your mental health with less episodes of highly anxious periods and ultimately, feel joy again!

Mindfulness is the practice of staying present and fully engaged in the current moment without judgment. By focusing on your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, mindfulness helps you break the cycle of anxious rumination about the past or future. Common mindfulness techniques include:
Breath awareness: Paying attention to your breath as it flows in and out.
Body scan: Noticing sensations in different parts of your body.
Mindful observation: Engaging fully with your surroundings, such as sounds, colours, or textures.
-
Meditation is a structured practice that involves training your mind to focus and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. It often overlaps with mindfulness but can include specific techniques such as:
Guided meditation: Listening to a narrator or teacher walk you through a calming scenario. (Tip: Use YouTube videos to guide you)
Mantra meditation: Repeating a word or phrase to focus your mind.
Loving-kindness meditation: Cultivating feelings of compassion toward yourself and others.
Meditation reduces anxiety by calming the nervous system, promoting relaxation, and encouraging a shift in perspective.
-
Relaxation techniques specifically target physical tension and the fight-or-flight response associated with anxiety. Popular relaxation methods include:
Deep breathing: Taking slow, deep breaths to calm your nervous system.
Progressive muscle relaxation: Tensing and releasing different muscle groups to relieve tension.
Visualization: Imagining a peaceful scene or experience to evoke calmness.
These techniques help decrease physical symptoms of anxiety, like rapid heartbeat or tight muscles, and promote a sense of control.
-
Adopting healthy habits can create a foundation for managing anxiety long-term. Key lifestyle changes include:
Regular exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins, reduces stress hormones, and improves sleep.
Balanced diet: Eating nutritious meals supports brain health and prevents blood sugar spikes, which can trigger anxiety.
Adequate sleep: Prioritizing sleep hygiene enhances emotional regulation and resilience.
Limiting stimulants: Reducing caffeine, smoking, or alcohol intake can prevent anxiety symptoms.
Social connections: Building supportive relationships provides comfort and reduces feelings of isolation.
Combining these approaches can help you create a holistic and sustainable way to manage anxiety in your daily life.
