If your mind won't stop racing, you're in the right place

Maybe you lie awake replaying conversations from three days ago. Maybe your heart pounds for no clear reason and you've genuinely wondered if something's medically wrong, only to be told it's "just anxiety", which somehow doesn't make it feel any less real. Maybe you cancel plans because the thought of being watched or judged feels unbearable. Maybe you're so used to holding everything together for everyone else that you've forgotten what it feels like for your own body to just... settle.

If any of that landed, you're not overreacting, and you're not broken. You're carrying something that's genuinely hard, and it's treatable.

I'm Zohreh Kohzadi, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in Surrey and North Delta, BC, serving clients throughout Delta, Surrey, White Rock, Ladner, Tsawwassen, and across Metro Vancouver, with online counselling available across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut

Do any of these sound like you?

Anxiety doesn't look the same for everyone. Here's what I commonly see in session, you may recognize yourself in one, or several:

  • Constant, free-floating worry that jumps from one thing to the next, money, health, relationships, work, the future, even when there's no immediate problem. A sense of never fully relaxing, always scanning for what might go wrong next.

  • Sudden waves of intense fear, racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, a feeling of losing control or "going crazy," sometimes convincing you something is physically wrong. Often followed by a fear of the next attack, which can start to shrink your world.

  • Persistent worry about your body or symptoms, frequent checking, googling symptoms, or seeking reassurance from doctors or loved ones that doesn't quite stick, even after being told you're okay.

  • Intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized in social or performance situations, leading to avoidance, over-preparing, or replaying interactions afterward looking for what you did wrong.

  • New relationships, becoming a parent, immigration, a career change, grief, or any major shift that's left you feeling unsteady and unsure how to find your footing again.

  • Feeling caught between cultures, roles, or expectations — pressure to hold everything together for your family or community, guilt around boundaries, or anxiety that doesn't fit neatly into a Western therapy framework.

  • Sometimes anxiety isn't really about the present moment at all — it's your nervous system still bracing from something that happened before.ption

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If worry, panic, or a body that won't relax are affecting your sleep, relationships, work, or daily life — or you're simply tired of white-knuckling through your days — that's reason enough. No diagnosis or crisis required.

  • It's working directly with your body's stress response — through grounding, breathwork, and body-based awareness — rather than only addressing anxious thoughts. Anxiety often lives as much in the body as the mind, so calming the nervous system directly often creates faster, more lasting relief than talk alone.

  • Generalized anxiety is ongoing background worry. Panic attacks are sudden, intense episodes with physical symptoms that peak and ease. Many people experience both together.

  • Yes, using CBT/ACT approaches alongside nervous system regulation to address both the anxious thoughts and the checking/reassurance-seeking cycle.

  • Yes — in-person in Surrey and North Delta, BC, and online across BC, AB, SK, MB, YT, NWT, and NU.

  • It varies — some notice real shifts within a few months; others, especially with deeper or trauma-linked anxiety, benefit from longer-term work.
