Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social situations can be challenging and they can trigger our sense of danger, especially if we feel we might be judged or put on the spot. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore the fear that accompanies social situations and the therapy relationship can be used to learn and practice new ways of responding. When supporting individuals experiencing social anxiety, I work at a pace that is comfortable for them and empower them to learn and practice skills that will help them feel more competent and confident in social situations.

Bianca Uguccioni
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, RP
Social anxiety can be persistent and impact your relationships and daily life; however, therapy can be supportive in addressing it. In your work with me, you will have an opportunity to interact with someone new, identify challenging beliefs, thoughts and emotions, and better understand them, their origin, and how they have impacted you. In addition, in therapy with me, you will be able to create opportunities to nurture the self and explore new ways to safely expose oneself to different social interactions and develop new skills.

Psychologist, Psychologist, Registered Psychotherapist, Pre Registration Professionals
Without treatment, the symptoms of social may continue to interrupt your quality of life. However, treatment has been proven effective in supporting people with anxiety to get back to enjoying life. Here are some next steps to help you get started:
Relaxation strategies can help to decrease the physical symptoms of anxiety. The more you feel your heart racing and your breathing changing, the harder it is to calm yourself down. Try to breathe deeply.
Counselling with a mental health provider has been proven to be very effective in helping individuals overcome Anxiety issues. Not only can a trained counsellor help teach you the strategies needed to help stop the anxiety cycle, they can also help you use them correctly.
In severe cases one should also consult their family doctor since medication, when taken in conjunction with counselling, has often proved helpful.
McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare can help connect you with a mental health professional who is a personal and cultural fit; someone who has expertise treating anxiety.

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).
