Tianna Downey (GreenValley Counselling Services)
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying, MDiv
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.

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.

Maria Christopoulos
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., M.Sc., RP
Social Anxiety can affect the way an individual views themselves in the context of their relationships,the world around them and their confidence in themselves. This may lead to avoidant behaviours, negative thoughts and self talk and low confidence to try new things. Therapeutic interventions can help identify and positively change core beliefs and increase confidence.

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.

Jennifer Poisson
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP, CCDP, CCTP-II, Certified EMDR Therapist
I use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to help you learn to recognize, understand, and gradually change your negative thinking and worries related to social anxiety. CBT will require your active participation and willingness to engage in "homework" activities outside of therapy and to eventually participate in imagined or actual exposure activities aimed at helping you learn to manage your anxious feelings when engaging in social situations.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
If being around others fills you with dread, if you constantly doubt yourself in social situations, if self-consciousness keeps you isolated—you're not alone, and you're not broken. Social anxiety often grows from childhood experiences of being ignored, bullied, teased, or rejected, teaching you that connection equals danger. Together, we'll explore where these fears began, help you distinguish between real threats and anxious thoughts, and gently challenge the beliefs keeping you stuck. You'll learn to regulate your nervous system in social settings, build genuine confidence, and discover that connection can be safe. You don't have to face the world alone anymore. Healing happens one compassionate step at a time.
