Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety can sometimes stop life in it's tracks. Feeling overwhelming fear and experiencing unhelpful thoughts when in a social setting can make interacting with others so challenging. The good news is that the social anxiety bully can be put in it's place. You can learn strategies that will enable you to control social anxiety and help you to flourish. Together, we will utilize CBT strategies (building an avoidance hierarchy, attempting steps on hierarchy, teaching about cognitive distortions, recognizing triggers, teaching relaxation and grounding techniques). I provide significant psychoeducation on proven clinical methods for managing social anxiety. All the aforementioned presented kindly with empathy for the difficulties experienced. I spend considerable time exploring the roots of anxiety (core beliefs, rules and assumptions, automatic thoughts and adverse childhood events which can result in anxiety symptoms). You will also learn about relaxation and mindfulness to help you live the life you deserve. Congratulations on taking the first step; I look forward to meeting you.

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social situations can be challenging and they can trigger our sense of danger, especially if we feel we might be judged or put on the spot. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore the fear that accompanies social situations and the therapy relationship can be used to learn and practice new ways of responding. When supporting individuals experiencing social anxiety, I work at a pace that is comfortable for them and empower them to learn and practice skills that will help them feel more competent and confident in social situations.

Ekaterina Kapoustina
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Do you ever find yourself replaying conversations in your head, wondering how other's perceive you, or avoiding social events all together? Process groups allow you to explore your social interactions with others and experiment with showing up in a group of others who share similar concerns. Learn how you engage with others by expressing yourself and explore what leads to closeness and connection and how to bounce back from "awkward"-seeming moments so they don't take up real estate in your mind and prevent you from building friendships and romantic relationships. Gain confidence and learn about yourself through the power of the here-and-now.

Jessie Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
Social anxiety can be debilitating as it often is the very opposite of what one is striving for: connection with others. In my practice, we look at the specifics of what may be bringing someone distress in social situations, what these social situations may be and I help provide tools for being able to rebuild courage and resilience to face these day-to-day stressors.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
From an emotionally focused perspective, working with social anxiety involves exploring the emotional experiences underlying an individual's fear of social situations. Social anxiety may stem from attachment-related insecurities that leave us vulnerable to feelings of rejection or judgment. Taking an emotionally focused approach our goal is to identify and process these underlying emotions, which may include shame or fear of abandonment, that often fuel such anxiety. By creating a safe, empathic therapeutic environment, we will also work on becoming aware of any negative emotional cycles, like avoidance or self-criticism and work to heal these wounds and soften our defenses. As individuals connect more deeply with their core emotions and gain more clarity about their internal world it can lead to increased self-acceptance which enables individuals to face social situations with a sense of security, reduced anxiety and an improved ability to engage with others in an authentic way. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Social anxiety does not have to interfere with the life you want to live. We want to help you learn what is getting in the way of meaningful and stress-free social interactions - how your thoughts are contributing to the fear and discomfort that you feel in social situations. We also want to help you develop skills so that you can relate to these thoughts a little differently and build confidence in social situations. This includes understanding what is happening in your body when you feel anxious and how you can regulate and establish a feeling of safety.
It IS possible to make new meaningful connections, to not have to analyze each social interaction, and to advocate for yourself at home and work.
Contact us for a complimentary 15-minute consultation - we will connect you with clinicians from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.

Social anxiety can leave us isolated and feeling alone with difficult emotions. I put clients at ease and help them increase their comfort in social settings. Developing greater self acceptance and becoming more aware of the things you are telling yourself can help you gain more control over how feel. We work together to develop different ways of coping so you can feel increased confidence and comfort in relationship to yourself and others.

Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, stressful, or emotionally draining. Many people experience constant self-monitoring, fear of judgment, difficulty speaking up, avoidance of social situations, or replaying conversations long after they happen. Therapy can help you better understand the roots of social anxiety, challenge unhelpful patterns, and gradually build confidence, comfort, and authenticity in social and professional situations.
