New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Social anxiety does not have to interfere with the life you want to live. We want to help you learn what is getting in the way of meaningful and stress-free social interactions - how your thoughts are contributing to the fear and discomfort that you feel in social situations. We also want to help you develop skills so that you can relate to these thoughts a little differently and build confidence in social situations. This includes understanding what is happening in your body when you feel anxious and how you can regulate and establish a feeling of safety.
It IS possible to make new meaningful connections, to not have to analyze each social interaction, and to advocate for yourself at home and work.
Contact us for a complimentary 15-minute consultation - we will connect you with clinicians from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.

Grounded Minds Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Are you super uncomfortable in social situations? You may be afraid of being in the spotlight, having other's watch you or judge you. You might find that you struggle with social outings, making eye contact, or feeling comfortable around others. Perhaps avoiding situations works for a short time, but the anxiety doesn't get any better. Social anxiety doesn't have to be something that you just deal with- we can help you learn how to feel more confident and comfortable in situations that scare you. Our approach is gentle and relationship-focused. Together, we may work on uncovering what's underneath anxiety and panic, learning how to approach scary situations, or perhaps learn tools to better manage your fear of judgment or criticism. Let's work together to kick anxiety out of the driver's seat. Please reach out to schedule a therapy session or free 15 minute consultation call.

Jess Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
Social anxiety can be debilitating as it often is the very opposite of what one is striving for: connection with others. In my practice, we look at the specifics of what may be bringing someone distress in social situations, what these social situations may be and I help provide tools for being able to rebuild courage and resilience to face these day-to-day stressors.

Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Soulful Therapy holds space for client's to identify and address multiple internal parts or families within each person’s mental system. These different parts consist of wounded parts and painful emotions such as anger and shame, as well as parts that try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. When left unresolved, it can lead to these maladaptive parts overwhelming us with anxious thoughts.
These parts may be in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self, a concept that describes the confident, compassionate, whole person that is at the core of every individual. Together, we will focus on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the parts and the Self.

Nave Nijjar, Hear to Heal Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Do you always worry about doing something you think is embarrassing, such as blushing, sweating or appearing incompetent? Social anxiety is more than shyness. It's a fear that does not go away and affects everyday activities, self confidence, relationships and work or school life. Many people occasionally worry about social situations, but someone with social anxiety feels overly worried before, during and after them. It's a common problem that usually starts during the teenage years. It can be very distressing and have a big impact on your life.

Social Anxiety
Kaleidoscope Counselling Collective
Registered Social Worker, RSW
We often tell ourselves stories about what other's are thinking of us, how poorly we've performed in an interaction, or predict how awkward and terrible something may end up being. These kinds of thoughts can increase our anxiety and spur a bunch of avoidance and/or numbing out behaviour. Then we sit at home beating ourselves up, feeling alone and isolated. Therapy can help us shift these stories, take different actions and start to feel more content, confident and authentic in social situations.
