Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counsellor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt your heart race—wondering what people are thinking about you, or wishing you could disappear before anyone notices? Social anxiety can make even simple moments—talking in class, attending church, meeting new people—feel like survival. Over time, the worry turns into withdrawal, and loneliness begins to take root.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand how exhausting it is to overthink every word and every glance. Our Christian counselors help you quiet the noise of self-criticism, retrain your body’s stress response, and build confidence that lasts beyond the next conversation.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use faith-integrated, evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic grounding, and exposure techniques—combined with biblical truth and compassionate guidance to help you:
• Calm the physical symptoms of anxiety in social settings
• Overcome fear of judgment and rejection
• Strengthen communication and self-expression
• Build authentic connections and trust
• Restore peace through a renewed sense of identity in Christ
You don’t have to live trapped inside your own thoughts. With practical tools, gentle exposure, and spiritual grounding, you can learn to walk into any room with calm confidence—rooted not in others’ approval, but in God’s love for you.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living freely, Rising Calm Center is here to help you find your voice and your peace again.

Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting—leaving you second-guessing yourself or avoiding situations that matter to you. In therapy, we’ll work to uncover what fuels your fear of judgment or rejection, and gently build confidence in your ability to connect with others. Through mindfulness, nervous-system regulation, and self-compassion, you can begin to feel more at ease and authentic in social spaces, free to show up as yourself.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Social anxiety isn't shyness, and it isn't something you can think your way out of by reminding yourself people aren't watching that closely. It lives in the body, in anticipation, in the replay afterward. I work with clients on the whole cycle of it, not just the moments of avoidance, but the exhaustion of managing it constantly and what it's cost them over time.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space to work through social anxiety—those moments of fear, avoidance, or self-consciousness that limit connection. We’ll map triggers, practice practical skills (breathing, cognitive reframing, gradual exposure), and build confidence in real-world interactions. I’ll support you with steady guidance and actionable strategies so you can engage more comfortably and authentically.

Insomnia Help Canada
Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Living with social anxiety often feels like living in a world filled with invisible barriers—every interaction, no matter how small, can seem overwhelming. Simple activities like speaking up in a meeting, attending a social event, or even making eye contact can trigger a whirlwind of self-doubt, fear of judgment, and physical symptoms like a racing heart or sweating. It’s not just about being shy; it’s a persistent fear that can limit opportunities and strain relationships. I share strategies of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindful self-compassion (MSC) to help people gradually confront their anxieties, develop confidence, and rediscover the joy of connection – and life.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
It’s not that you’re bad at connection—some parts of you just don’t feel safe in it.
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or like you constantly need to monitor how you show up, you’re not alone. Social anxiety often stems from parts of us that carry past experiences of rejection, embarrassment, or not being accepted for who we are. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you gently connect with these protective parts, understand their fears, and begin to unburden the beliefs that keep you stuck in self-doubt. Together, we create space for confidence, authenticity, and the kind of connection that feels safe and real.

Jonah Fialkow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As a counsellor specializing in social anxiety, I take a compassionate and holistic approach to help you overcome your challenges. We'll begin by exploring the underlying causes and triggers of your social anxiety, recognizing the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to your distress. Together, we'll develop practical strategies to gradually expose you to social situations in a supportive and controlled manner, building your confidence and resilience over time. Additionally, we'll work on challenging negative self-beliefs and developing more adaptive ways of thinking about yourself and social interactions. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and gradual exposure exercises, our goal is to empower you to face social situations with greater ease and self-assurance. Together, we'll navigate this journey towards greater social confidence and fulfillment, one step at a time.

Social Anxiety
Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Social and other anxieties can be very problematic, supporting a belief that a strategy to avoid or at least limit social connections is a good temporary solution. I have worked with client anxieties and fears that restrict their capacities to connect with others, and reinforce beliefs that there is something wrong with them. I see anxiety as a natural fear response that can escalate into the temporary solutions, like avoidance or isolation. This can, in turn, develop into a bigger problem. I work with clients in a process to understanding their origins of these patterns and defences. Once they trust that I understand, then I support them to address the issues that burdened or harmed them and regain their Self as more calm; confident; and courageous with connecting with others.
