Olga Lacroix
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RSW, PCC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel draining or stressful, leading to avoidance, overthinking, or fear of judgment. Therapy offers a space to understand these patterns, calm the nervous system, and build confidence in social situations. The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you feel more at ease and authentic in connection with others.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Social anxiety isn't shyness, and it isn't something you can think your way out of by reminding yourself people aren't watching that closely. It lives in the body, in anticipation, in the replay afterward. I work with clients on the whole cycle of it, not just the moments of avoidance, but the exhaustion of managing it constantly and what it's cost them over time.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Through a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural approach, we will work together to help you learn how to recognize and change negative thoughts about yourself and develop skills to help you gain confidence in social situations. We may gradually work up to facing the situations you fear most. This can improve your coping skills and help you develop the confidence to deal with anxiety-inducing situations. We may also explore role-playing scenarios to help you practice your social skills and gain comfort and confidence relating to others, while acknowledging and addressing your worries and fears.

Social Anxiety
Karen Skinulis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I approach the issue of Social Anxiety from an Adlerian perspective. As with all forms of anxiety I recognize this problem results from a feeling of being overwhelmed by stress. Together with my client, whether it's an adolescent, child (together with their family) or an adult, we use CBT and exposure therapy to help uncover mistakes in the private logic and shift to a more realistic way of viewing ourselves in a social situation. Perfectionism and other mistaken ideas are often at the heart of social anxiety. By challenging unhelpful and unrealistic ideas in an empathetic and supportive way we are able to redefine our view of self and others.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Social anxiety can be related to our sense of self/our self esteem; feeling a sense of empowerment in relationships; feeling that we are accepted just as we are; no change needed. It can involve learning new communication skills. Social anxiety if also related to experiences of shame. Bringing shame out into the light of day can help.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the weight of social anxiety on your own. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

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.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
We all have feelings of worry from time to time. However if these thoughts and feelings are persistent and you find you have constant worries about social interactions, what people may be thinking about you, how others perceive you and self-doubt in social situations, you may be struggling with social anxiety. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool to help manage and mitigate symptoms of social anxiety by uncovering the root cause of your worries. By understanding your fears and triggers, you can better navigate anxiety provoking situations and move through them with more ease and confidence.

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.

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.

London, Ontario is home to Western University and one of Canada's leading teaching hospitals — London Health Sciences Centre — which together make it a significant hub for medical education and mental health training, feeding a well-developed private practice community. The city's large student population, combined with a substantial healthcare and professional workforce, drives consistent demand for therapists working with academic stress, young adult identity, and the pressures of high-achieving careers. London's growing immigrant community — including large South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African populations — is increasing demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists. The city's relatively affordable cost of living compared to Toronto and Hamilton makes private therapy accessible to a broader cross-section of the population.
