Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Social anxiety turns ordinary moments into performances: rehearsing sentences before you say them, replaying conversations for days, feeling watched and judged even among friends. The loneliness of wanting connection while fearing it is real, and it's more common than you know. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space to understand your anxiety without shame, quiet the inner critic that narrates every interaction, and gradually build confidence in being seen. The goal isn't to become someone else, it's to genuinely understand yourself, loosen fear's grip on your relationships, and let people meet the real you. Together we'll work toward feeling more at ease, more connected, and more equipped to show up in your life and relationships.

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.

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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with social anxiety, you may feel tense or self-conscious in conversations, meetings, or social gatherings. You might replay interactions afterward, worrying about what you said or how you were perceived. Even small social situations can feel draining, and you may avoid opportunities because the anticipation feels overwhelming.
At Selah Counselling, we approach social anxiety with compassion and practical support. Social anxiety is not a lack of confidence. It is often a nervous system response shaped by past experiences, fear of judgment, or heightened sensitivity to social cues. Together, we work on calming the body’s stress response, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and building gradual exposure in a way that feels manageable. Our goal is to help you participate more fully in your life with greater steadiness, self-trust, and confidence in your voice.
