Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Social anxiety isn't shyness. It's the relentless monitoring, the replaying of conversations, the exhausting effort of managing how you come across while also trying to actually be present. It can make connection feel like a test you keep failing. I work with people to understand where that hypervigilance came from and gradually build a sense of safety that doesn't depend on getting everything exactly right.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Experiencing social anxiety means your body may be intuitively perceiving interpersonal spaces as direct threats to your safety or comfort, which is often a valid response to environments where you have faced systemic unsafety. Rather than forcing you to simply push through your fear, my online practice in BC focuses on understanding and validating these somatic threat responses. By focusing on slowed-down relational safety, we can help your nervous system soften, allowing genuine connection with others to unfold organically.

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.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Social anxiety is not a flaw or a personal failure. It is a survival response shaped by early experiences where safety, acceptance, or connection were missing. It arises from a “wound” that leaves a person feeling unlovable or unsafe, often creating chronic tension and fear in social situations. Healing involves compassionate self-inquiry, understanding the anxiety as a signal rather than a problem, exploring how it manifests in the body, and gradually rebuilding authentic connections that restore a sense of safety and belonging.

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.

Social anxiety is very common and can greatly be helped by re-setting the central nervous system and brain, as well as reframing any negative beliefs and fears that are in the unconscious mind. This can be accomplished through neurofeedback, hypnosis along with learning effective sills and tools.

Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Social anxiety may include irrational fears and embarrassment and humiliation due to a lack of self confidence and lack of self worth in one's self, society and one's environment. The individual's work is in the increasing of self confidence and being less aware of the other's judgement or misjustice or evaluation of another.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Social anxiety is often a protective strategy—a part of your system that is working overtime to shield you from the perceived threat of judgment or rejection. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you move beyond 'just trying to be more social' to understanding the root of the anxiety that makes being seen feel dangerous.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore the survival strategies—like perfectionism, withdrawal, or constant self-monitoring—that your system developed to keep you safe in social settings. Together, we work to heal the underlying vulnerabilities these parts are protecting, helping you move toward a grounded sense of self-assurance and the freedom to connect with others authentically and with ease.
