Social Anxiety
Jimi Katsis
Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Social anxiety is a common mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by excessive fear and self-consciousness in social situations. This can lead to avoidance of social situations, difficulty making friends, and difficulty with work or school.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals with social anxiety. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) which have been proven to be effective in treating social anxiety.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their social anxiety. ACT, on the other hand, is a form of therapy that helps individuals accept their feelings of anxiety, rather than trying to eliminate them, and learn to engage in life in a meaningful way despite the presence of anxiety.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your social anxiety and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. We will also work on building self-confidence, increasing social skills and exposure to social situations, and developing a support system.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of social anxiety, it's important to seek help from a mental health professional. Together, we can work towards improving your mental health and overall well-being.

Audra McKellar
Counsellor/Therapist, MNCS (accred), Prof.Dip.Psy.C, SMACCPH
It is so frustrating when you want to connect to others, to enjoy social engagements that everyone else seems to find so easy and yet you feel that you just can't. You get panicky, you struggle for the right words, you go a nice beetroot colour and fear that others will think you are stupid. I can help you change how you respond so that you can engage with others in a meaningful and enjoyable way.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their social anxiety. I help them subsequently identify what is in their control as they anticipate being in those settings in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their fears associated with their anxiety in those settings.
