Social Anxiety
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
