Social Anxiety
Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
As someone with social anxiety and agoraphobia, I know both professionally and personally the impact this can have on not only those around you, but your internal struggle/self-esteem. Let’s explore the part of you that’s feeling ignited in the presence of others, why it fears what it fears, and perhaps what purpose it serves for you. Whether it’s to protect you from embarrassment or to protect you of failure, it serves or had served a purpose. By understanding what it’s protecting you from, we connect to it on a deeper level in order to redirect/tame it.

Chris Pankewich
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Social Anxiety can be a deeply personal and unique challenge for each of us. The factors that can lead us to feel on edge or anxious in social situations ca be diverse and it is helpful to first clarify what specific factors are at play for each of us. Once we are aware of the situations and people that can lead us to feel anxious, then we can start to explore ways to reduce the intensity of those feelings and start taking more agency in those situations. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

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.

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.
