Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
At the core of the social anxiety usually lies a trauma, which was caused by the “Other”. To understand this anxiety is to understand one’s history of interpersonal relationships. The anxiety should be acknowledged, understood, and dealt with in a profound and deep way that is only possible through a careful examination of one’s history of relationships.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Social anxiety occurs for many different reasons and can have a massive impact on one's well-being. It can be so incredibly frustrating to feel so averse or worried about something that you feel or know you should not be anxious about! When working with clients who have social anxiety issues, I take a comprehensive approach in understanding why the social anxiety occurs so that we can solve the issue from the root up; Being anxious is not a state one needs to be in, and it does NOT have to control one's life or decisions.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety is a common condition characterized by intense fear or apprehension in social situations. Individuals with social anxiety may worry excessively about being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated in public or among peers. This can lead to avoidance of social interactions and impact daily functioning and relationships. Symptoms can include rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and difficulty speaking. It's crucial to recognize that social anxiety is a manageable condition, and seeking help is an important step toward overcoming these challenges. Therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and support from friends and family can play a significant role in building confidence and improving social skills. With the right strategies, individuals can learn to navigate social situations more comfortably and enhance their overall well-being.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or like you’re constantly overthinking everything you said (or didn’t say), you might be dealing with social anxiety. Maybe you avoid certain situations altogether, or you show up but feel tense, awkward, or like you're putting on a mask just to get through it.
Social anxiety can be exhausting, but it’s also something you can work through. In therapy, we’ll explore where that fear comes from, help you challenge the thoughts that are fueling it, and build confidence in how you show up around others, without having to overanalyze every moment.
You don’t have to hide, shrink, or pretend to be someone else to belong. You deserve to feel more at ease in your own skin, and in your connections with others.

Social anxiety disorder (also known as Social Phobia) is a mental health condition. It is a type of anxiety disorder that causes extreme fear in social settings. It is an intense, persistent fear of being watched, judged and perhaps even humiliated by others. This fear can affect work, school, and your other day-to-day activities. It can even make it hard to make and keep friends. Hypnosis has proven to be an excellent method or complement to counteracting the negative effects of this disorder.

Social anxiety can be scary and isolating. It holds you back from living the full life you want. In our sessions together we will work on your fears of engaging with others, automatic thoughts that get in the way of forming relationships or speaking publicly, as well as how to manage social situations, calm internally, and build confidence. This can encourage you being able to show up, be yourself, and get more out of your life.

Headway Mental Health
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
As a psychotherapist I can employ various techniques and approaches to help someone with social anxiety disorder. Here are some common methods:
1. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach focuses on identifying and challenging negative thoughts and beliefs related to social situations. By examining and restructuring these thoughts, individuals can develop more realistic and positive thinking patterns.
2. Exposure Therapy: This technique involves gradually exposing individuals to social situations that provoke anxiety. The therapist helps create a supportive and safe environment for the person to face their fears and develop coping strategies. Over time, repeated exposure can help desensitize the person to anxiety-provoking situations.
3. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and breathing exercises, can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and bodily sensations. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can learn to manage their anxiety symptoms and increase their tolerance for discomfort in social situations.
4. Social Skills Training: This involves teaching individuals specific social skills, such as effective communication, assertiveness, and conflict resolution. By practicing these skills in therapy sessions and real-life situations, individuals can improve their confidence and ability to interact with others.
5. Supportive Therapy: Providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express their feelings and fears can be essential. The therapist can offer emotional support, validation, and guidance throughout the therapeutic process.
6. Medication: In some cases, medication may be prescribed alongside therapy to help manage the symptoms of social anxiety disorder. Psychotherapists may work collaboratively with psychiatrists or other medical professionals to determine the need for medication.
It's important to note that the specific approach used may vary depending on the therapist's training, the severity of the individual's symptoms, and their preferences. A psychotherapist will typically tailor the treatment plan to the unique needs and goals of each person with social anxiety disorder.

Joanna Szczeskiewicz
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety makes us feel like we are a walking target for negative unjust criticisms. Everything feels like a rejection or confirmation of personal shortcomings. Many persons with social anxiety create vivid images in their heads of how they might appear to other people and, needless to say, these images are not very flattering. Many cope by avoiding - giving up on almost all social connections or just that important presentation that could lead to a promotion. Many over-prepare, strategize and become perfectionistic. Many experience what can be best described as retroactive anxiety while analyzing the minute detail of an interaction that might have not gone exactly as planned. Some try to interact but then just freeze and soon after scurry away, feeling no better for the attempt.
Cognitive behaviour therapy for social anxiety targets unhelpful assumptions (e.g., "If my dinner party is not perfect, my guests will gossip about me.") as well as attentional processes (e.g., intense scanning of facial expressions). We look at the evidence that keeps these assumptions in place as well as their usefulness. Once we know that the situations that we try to deal with might be uncomfortable but not inherently dangerous, we move towards exposure. We craft behavioural experiments to further test the unhelpful assumptions and create exposure hierarchies for uncomfortable situations that we have no choice but deal with -- you can avoid job interviews or asking someone out but that means that you will be without a job and without a relationship. Each more difficult interaction serves as a learning step. We learn better skills to handle conflict or embarrassment. We learn that although uncomfortable such interactions are manageable leading to eventual decrease in anxiety sensations. Most of all, we build an ability to remain coherent under pressure and despite being judged by others. Some of these exposures occur in real life as you slowly learn to face your challenges, yet the bulk of them occurs in my office as we practice conversation skills, assertive defense of the self or engage in high voltage simulated arguments to inoculate you against the unfairness that unfortunately exists in the world around us. Most of all, we learn to not to overthink.

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.
