Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Exploring your social anxiety in therapy can help identify how anxiety is manifesting itself and work to minimize the disruptive patterns it provokes in your life. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Karen Skinulis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I approach the issue of Social Anxiety from an Adlerian perspective. As with all forms of anxiety I recognize this problem results from a feeling of being overwhelmed by stress. Together with my client, whether it's an adolescent, child (together with their family) or an adult, we use CBT and exposure therapy to help uncover mistakes in the private logic and shift to a more realistic way of viewing ourselves in a social situation. Perfectionism and other mistaken ideas are often at the heart of social anxiety. By challenging unhelpful and unrealistic ideas in an empathetic and supportive way we are able to redefine our view of self and others.

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Social awkwardness is a common aspect of social anxiety, where individuals feel uncomfortable or uncertain in various social situations. Symptoms may manifest as difficulty maintaining eye contact, stumbling over words, excessive self-consciousness, or feeling like an outsider. It can lead to avoidance of social gatherings, which further perpetuates anxiety.
Therapy for social awkwardness focuses on building self-awareness, improving communication skills, and desensitizing individuals to social situations. It's about enhancing social confidence and helping individuals feel more at ease in various interactions, ultimately improving their overall quality of life. Even if you arent ready to address this part yet, I am well-versed in working with individuals that struggle with social anxiety.
