Panic Disorder & Panic Attack Therapy

We provide evidence-based therapy for people experiencing recurring panic attacks, fear of losing control, and anxiety-driven avoidance.

When Fear Takes Over Without Warning

A panic attack can feel like it comes out of nowhere—your heart races, your chest tightens, and a wave of fear washes over you. It may feel like you’re dying, going crazy, or losing control. For many people, this experience is so intense that it leads to lasting fear about when the next one might occur. Panic disorder develops when this fear begins to shape your life—when you start avoiding activities, situations, or places just to prevent the possibility of another attack.

More Than Just a Scare

Panic disorder is more than a one-time event. It involves repeated, unexpected panic attacks followed by ongoing anxiety about having another. People often begin to fear their own bodily sensations—such as dizziness, a racing heart, or shortness of breath—worrying that these symptoms signal something dangerous. In some cases, this leads to agoraphobia, the fear of being in places where escape might feel difficult. Everyday activities, such as driving, standing in line, or being alone in public, can become overwhelming or feel impossible.

How the Behavioural Wellness Clinic Can Help

At the Behavioural Wellness Clinic, we understand how exhausting and isolating panic disorder can be. That’s why our therapy is built to address not just the panic itself, but the fear and avoidance that follow. We offer individualized care grounded in research, guided by compassion, and focused on helping you feel safe in your body and in your life again.

Our therapy combines education about what panic is and why it happens, gentle reintroduction to feared sensations and situations, and strategies for changing catastrophic thinking patterns. Through this work, we help reduce your sensitivity to triggers, increase your confidence, and support you in regaining the freedom to do the things you once avoided.

A Personalized, Research-Based Approach

Treatment typically includes three core elements: understanding the mechanics of panic, reducing fear of physical symptoms, and gradually returning to the activities you’ve been avoiding. This might involve breathing retraining, exposure to mild bodily sensations, and structured guidance as you re-enter places that have become associated with fear. Therapy is paced according to your readiness, and the work is always collaborative—no pressure, no pushing, just support for each step forward.

For most people, treatment lasts between 10 and 20 sessions. But more importantly, it provides the tools to disrupt the cycle of panic and help you feel grounded and capable in your daily life again.
