Shannon Kane
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, and Counsellor RP, C.R.P.O, H.B.A, M.A.C.P
Social situations can feel overwhelming, leading to avoidance, self-doubt, and emotional distress. I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop confidence in social interactions, and gradually build a greater sense of ease in social settings. Using CBT, Exposure Therapy, and somatic techniques, I guide individuals through practical exercises and emotional regulation strategies that reduce anxiety and improve self-assurance in everyday interactions. My approach is gentle, supportive, and focused on empowering clients to navigate social situations with greater comfort and confidence.

Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Therapy with my practice offers individuals a safe place to express their deepest thoughts and emotions with caring and highly trained professionals who are committed to their well-being. My clients come to me to share challenges they may be facing in the present, worries about their future, and/or unresolved past hurts --- with the goals of healing, developing effective tools for personal growth, gaining insight and direction, improving their relationships, and/or improving their over all sense of well being and quality of life. While therapy cannot directly change your external world, it will work to transform the internal world of your mind --- allowing you to live a truly rich and meaningful life. Social anxiety can feel crippling, but I can equip you with highly effective skills to overcome and live a life that is not dictated by fear.

David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, draining, or overwhelming. You may find yourself overthinking conversations long after they happen, worrying about being judged, avoiding certain situations, or feeling emotionally exhausted from constantly trying to say or do the “right” thing around other people.
I provide a calm and supportive space where you can speak openly about these experiences without feeling embarrassed or misunderstood. Together, we can explore the fears, pressures, and self-doubt connected to social anxiety while working toward greater confidence, self-acceptance, and healthier ways of navigating social situations that feel more manageable and authentic to you.

My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Exploring your social anxiety in therapy can help identify how anxiety is manifesting itself and work to minimize the disruptive patterns it provokes in your life. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work.

Social Anxiety
Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
People experience anxiety in different ways and for those with social anxiety the world can feel very uncomfortable or overwhelming at times. This can cause one to isolate and withdraw from others in an effort to avoid discomfort or distress. This in turn prevents us from learning how to navigate social situations and learn to make them feel more manageable. When working with a client with social anxiety I recognize that it can be challenging just to be interacting with a new person. As anxiety often comes from feeling a lack of control, it is a priority for me to promote an environment where my client feels safe and in control. We will explore the history of their anxiety, what makes it worse as well as triggers. We will then use CBT to challenge negative or limiting thoughts and reframe them as more empowering and reassuring thoughts. We will also develop grounding and coping strategies they can use when feeling anxious. If this sounds helpful to you, please book a free consultation where I can answer questions or address concerns.

Justin Mulder
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Social anxiety can make everyday situations feel far more stressful than they look from the outside. Things like meeting new people, speaking up in a group, dating, or even simple conversations can bring up a lot of worry about being judged, saying the wrong thing, or not fitting in. Over time, it’s easy to start avoiding situations that once felt manageable, which can lead to feeling more isolated or stuck. In therapy, we take a gentle and practical approach to understanding where those fears come from and how they show up for you. Together, we work on building confidence, easing the pressure you put on yourself, and finding ways to engage socially that feel more natural and less overwhelming.

Brampton is one of Canada's fastest-growing and most ethnically diverse cities, with a majority South Asian population — predominantly Punjabi, Tamil, and Gujarati communities — creating strong demand for culturally grounded therapists who understand the intersection of South Asian family expectations, immigration stress, and mental health. Stigma barriers to therapy access remain significant in some communities, and therapists who can work within South Asian family frameworks and address help-seeking stigma sensitively are especially valued. William Osler Health System's Brampton Civic Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, with a growing private practice community. Many residents also access care through the broader Greater Toronto Area therapy ecosystem, particularly via telehealth.
