Ryan Farnsworth

Does a busy mind keep you from truly connecting—leaving you replaying conversations or worrying about what’s next? You might find it hard to be present with loved ones, caught in thought loops, feeling blamed, or questioning your worth. Life’s transitions—career changes, relationship shifts, or unexpected detours—can stir up overwhelming stress and anxiety. If you’re ready to quiet your inner critic, live more fully, and feel supported through life’s challenges, you're not alone—and help is available.

At Grigore Counselling & Associates, I provide compassionate, evidence-based support to help you move from anxious to grounded with calm and confidence. Together, we’ll build tools for boundary-setting, reframing, and confident communication so you can navigate life with greater clarity and connection.

Feel at peace with yourself and your relationships. Whether in-person or online, I’m here to help you break free from overthinking and rediscover peace and authenticity. As a supervised intern counsellor, I offer focused support and the benefit of a second therapist’s guidance. Book a free 20 minute consult to start your path toward feeling truly enough!

Often clients will come in with anxiety symptoms or physical pain symptoms, and later determine it's a trauma response to stress they experienced. Whether it's stress from the field, the streets, studies, or your relationship, together we craft clear goals, and work to achieve them at your pace. I'll listen compassionately, but I'll also give helpful suggestions when needed.
