Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Do you fear others are judging you? Do you walk through the world trying to manage your body, your expressions, your actions, your breathing for fear of being noticed, humiliated, or rejected by others? Do you simply feel 'not good enough' in the eyes of yourself and others? Are you tired of working so hard to cope with your anxiety without ever truly feeling better? If so, you may be suffering from social anxiety and likely from the loneliness that comes from living behind the mask that others are allowed to see. At Transforming Emotions, we use integrative therapy techniques from a foundation of emotion focused therapy to help you get to the root of your social anxiety. We aim to identify and heal the underlying experiences of fear and shame that tend to underpin the experience of social anxiety and negative self-judgment.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
Social anxiety can make everyday situations feel overwhelming—whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, meeting new people, or even spending time with friends. You may find yourself worrying about being judged, replaying conversations in your head, or avoiding social situations altogether. In therapy, I provide a safe and understanding space to explore where these fears come from, gently challenge negative thought patterns, and build tools to help you feel calmer and more confident. Together, we’ll work toward easing the anxiety and creating more freedom and comfort in your connections with others.

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.

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.

Rebekah Wright
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Social anxiety can create a heightened sense of threat in social situations, often leading to avoidance or distress. I help clients understand how this hypervigilant response develops and work toward creating a greater sense of internal safety. This can support more comfortable and confident social interactions over time.

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.

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.
