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.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in helping you overcome social anxiety through an integrative, client-centered approach. We’ll use acceptance and commitment therapy to cultivate willingness to experience anxiety in service of your values, mindfulness practices to anchor you in the present moment, and parts work to soothe the inner voices that fuel self-doubt. Cognitive and behavioral techniques will challenge unhelpful beliefs about social situations, while emotion-focused therapy supports you in processing the underlying fears. When appropriate, I incorporate spiritual/existential approaches to tap into your inner strength. Together, we’ll build the confidence and practical skills you need to engage authentically and comfortably in social settings.

JP Robichaud
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social Anxiety can manifest in so many ways - ways that are often discounted as just being "too sensitive" or "a loner". Often the reasons for that kind of anxiety are based on formative socialization experiences. We can take our time and look back at how you learned to be in connection, and discover together what might be able to be un-learned.

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.

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.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
Social anxiety can leave us feeling overly focused on how we are coming across to others. You may find yourself worrying about saying the wrong thing, replaying interactions long after they have ended, or holding back out of fear of being judged.
In therapy, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, helping you build confidence and feel more comfortable showing up as yourself.

Wise Path Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Ribalkin, MA, MA, RP
I have experience helping individuals manage social anxiety using a cognitive-behavioral approach. This included psychoeducation about how social anxiety works and the role of avoidance, as well as support in taking gradual steps towards social situations to build confidence and reduce fear.
Over time, this can help shift the perception of threat and create more freedom in social settings.

Avoidance, isolation, and a constant sense of self-consciousness are common outcomes when interactions feel overwhelming and stressful.

For dealing with social anxiety, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of anxiety and then they are able to take control of their bodies, secondly we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them.
