Stop Chasing the Symptoms

Chasing anxiety symptoms is like chasing a white rabbit in the snow.
You never actually catch what’s causing the problem. You may reduce one symptom, only to have another take its place.

Because the root cause is still there.

If you’ve tried therapy before and still feel “off”…
it’s not you — the real issue was never fully cleared.

Rick Saruna, Clinical Director, has over 30 years of experience and more than 36,000 clinical sessions helping clients identify and resolve the root causes of anxiety and stress.
Our approach is supported by ongoing clinical development and research.

Dr. Paris Saruna, PhD, contributes to research, program refinement, and clinical insight within the clinic.

This combination of real-world experience and research-supported understanding allows for deeper, more effective results.

Not One-Size-Fits-All

Some need counselling.
Some need coaching.
Some need direction.
Some need a strategy.
Most need a combination.
We offer you experience, clarity, and a structured path forward — based on what actually works for YOU.

When the Reaction Doesn’t Fit the Situation.
It’s Not About the Situation

If your reaction feels too strong, too emotional, or doesn’t make sense, it’s not about what’s happening now. It’s about what’s been stored.

All emotional issues follow the same pattern:
Something happened — or didn’t happen.

You kept thinking about it. That emotional charge built over time.

Now it shows up as:

Anxiety, Stress, Overthinking, Panic, and Emotional overwhelm.
We don’t manage that. We remove it.

We Welcome All Cases — From Complex to Straightforward

Whether you’ve tried other approaches without success, or you’re simply ready to feel better and move forward. We can help.

From professionals and business owners to individuals who just want clarity and peace of mind— We work with people just like you.

How Do We Do This?

We are subconscious experts. Most therapies focus on the conscious mind, but most issues that keep coming back are actually rooted in the subconscious. Our processes bypass the conscious mind and create a powerful subconscious shift where the issue is located. If the issue is not addressed where it is rooted, it will keep rearing its ugly head again and again, and any change you experience will be temporary.

This is why we developed Saruna’s Rapid Emotional Release and Empowerment.

But that is only part of the solution. We call it “putting out the fire and catching the arsonist.” The fire is the underlying issue. Negativity is the arsonist, always building more issues and problems. That is why we developed a separate process, Thought Shifting, to address negativity: not only creating awareness, but teaching you step-by-step techniques to change your negative inner voice.

Every session is a full 60 minutes, often more. Most therapists book 45 to 50 minutes, so you get 20 to 33% more time in every session.

If you have tried other therapies without success, you are not the problem. The techniques used were the problem.

Common Questions

Still have questions? Call us now!
Is this hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is simply one of many tools. We use a variety of methods based on what works best for you.
How is this different from therapy?
Most therapy focuses on coping and managing symptoms. We focus on identifying and removing the root cause.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Some issues resolve quickly, others take more work. We’ll outline a clear plan during your evaluation.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. We work with clients locally and remotely.
How does anxiety therapy work?

We start by listening past the symptoms to find what is driving your anxiety, often an old emotional event or a thinking pattern you learned. We release that root cause with Saruna’s Rapid Emotional Release and Empowerment process, use Thought Shifting to change the thought patterns that keep anxiety going, and add hypnosis when it helps.

Does anxiety therapy really work?

It works best when it addresses the cause, not only the symptoms. Over 30+ years and 36,000+ sessions, we have seen that clearing the emotional root of anxiety gives lasting relief instead of just coping skills.

Can therapy help with panic attacks?

Yes. Panic attacks are often the body reacting to a stored emotional trigger. We identify that trigger, release it and teach your mind a calmer response so attacks lose their power.

Can anxiety be treated without medication?

Our methods do not involve medication, which is why many clients choose us. If you already take medication, keep working with your doctor; our work fits alongside it.

Is anxiety therapy covered by insurance?

Coverage depends on your benefits plan. Call us at 519-948-0078 and we’ll explain the receipts we provide so you can check with your insurer.

How long is each session?

Every session is a full 60 minutes, often more. Most therapists book 45 to 50 minutes, so you get 20 to 33% more time in every session. We never rush, because the goal is your result, not the clock.

Is stress the same as anxiety?

Not exactly. Stress is usually a response to pressure you can point to, such as work, money or family. Anxiety often continues even when the pressure is gone. If stress or burnout is your main concern, see our Stress Counselling page.
