Woodstock, Ontario therapist: Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center, registered social worker
Social Anxiety

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.

Social anxiety reflects fears of visibility, judgment, and emotional exposure.

This process supports greater confidence, presence, and emotional freedom in social and intimate situations.

Ottawa, Ontario therapist: Dr. Patrick McGrath, psychologist
Social Anxiety

Dr. Patrick McGrath

Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Navigating social situations, professional gatherings, or everyday interactions with a constant, heavy fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized can make the world feel exhausting and overwhelmingly exposed. Social anxiety often convinces you to shrink away, stay silent, or avoid the very connections you secretly long for. You do not have to carry that intense self-consciousness alone. Using a collaborative, evidence-based cognitive behavioural approach, we will work together to gently untangle the cycle of anticipatory worry and self-criticism, test out fearful assumptions at a pace that feels safe for you, and build practical strategies to help you step into interactions with greater ease, confidence, and comfort in your own skin.

For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight. We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.

Comox, British Columbia therapist: Tina Presta, counselor/therapist
Social Anxiety

Tina Presta

Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Social anxiety isn't just about being "shy"—it is a full-body experience of hyper-vigilance, self-doubt, and the constant fear of being judged. For high-achieving individuals, it often manifests as an exhausting habit of over-analyzing every conversation, worrying about how you are being perceived, and feeling an overbearing pressure to perform flawlessly in social or professional settings. Privately, this loops into intense post-event rumination, a loud inner critic, and a profound sense of loneliness because it feels safer to isolate than to risk being misunderstood or exposed.I provide specialized, compassionate counselling support for individuals navigating the heavy weight of social anxiety, fears, and chronic self-consciousness. Together, we tackle social anxiety from both a mindset and a physiological standpoint. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to gently untangle the hyper-critical thought patterns, challenge anxious predictions, and build practical mindset tools to navigate social environments.Because social anxiety instantly triggers your nervous system's survival response—causing physical symptoms like a racing heart, shallow breathing, muscle tension, or a desire to completely shut down—traditional talk therapy can keep you trapped in your head. To bypass that cognitive loop, we integrate tailored breathing techniques, somatic tools, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to safely target, process, and release the physical trauma of feeling unsafe or exposed in front of others. Together, we will calm your nervous system so you can reclaim your boundaries, quiet the self-doubt, and navigate connections with a genuine sense of safety and ease.
