Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Social anxiety is when a person avoids interacting with people either individually or in groups to lessen the physical, emotional and mental stress they feel when they don't know how to deal with others expectations. Leaning how to best manage anxiety is the first step, unless you had a traumatic experience that created the social distancing behaviours.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately by your emotions and life demands? Do you sometimes feel like you have exhausted your coping resources and no longer know how to move forward? If so, do not worry or judge yourself. We have all felt like this at some point in our lives. Let me introduce myself: I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (www.ninahopmeiercounselling.ca), and am extremely passionate about the counselling process due to building a strong and trusting bond with my clients. I work from a supportive and nonjudgmental stance, focusing on strengths and resources that lead to positive change and growth.
I offer counselling services to children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, addictions, stress management, trauma, ADHD, and eating disorders. I also offer counselling services to couples and am trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which is considered the Gold Standard for treatment.
The counselling models that I use are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, all of which I have formal training in. If interested feel free to call me. I am listening....It is never too late for change and growth.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, RPC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
These feelings are often rooted in experiences of being ignored, bullied, teased, or abused during childhood. Do you feel nervous or anxious around your peers in social settings? Are feelings of low confidence, self-doubt, and self-consciousness impacting your interactions with others? You may question whether your behaviors are typical. Many have walked a similar path. You will receive compassionate support every step of the way, as it is invaluable to be gently encouraged and guided with understanding as you embark on your journey toward healing.

Dr. Christine Sauer
Life Coach, MD;ND
Many people feel nervous in a social context. I used to feel that way too. I can teach you to become mostly "rejection-proof" and feel confident in social situations to express your authentic self in a situation-appropriate way.
