Social anxiety can be related to our sense of self/our self esteem; feeling a sense of empowerment in relationships; feeling that we are accepted just as we are; no change needed. It can involve learning new communication skills. Social anxiety if also related to experiences of shame. Bringing shame out into the light of day can help.

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.

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.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Inc.
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Did you know that shyness is actually NOT a character trait but a stress response of being around others? It has to do with a lack of self-esteem and self-acceptance often tied to a history of ECEs (early childhood experiences).

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.
