Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Therapy with my practice offers individuals a safe place to express their deepest thoughts and emotions with caring and highly trained professionals who are committed to their well-being. My clients come to me to share challenges they may be facing in the present, worries about their future, and/or unresolved past hurts --- with the goals of healing, developing effective tools for personal growth, gaining insight and direction, improving their relationships, and/or improving their over all sense of well being and quality of life. While therapy cannot directly change your external world, it will work to transform the internal world of your mind --- allowing you to live a truly rich and meaningful life. Social anxiety can feel crippling, but I can equip you with highly effective skills to overcome and live a life that is not dictated by fear.

Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Social anxiety turns ordinary moments into performances: rehearsing sentences before you say them, replaying conversations for days, feeling watched and judged even among friends. The loneliness of wanting connection while fearing it is real, and it's more common than you know. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space to understand your anxiety without shame, quiet the inner critic that narrates every interaction, and gradually build confidence in being seen. The goal isn't to become someone else, it's to genuinely understand yourself, loosen fear's grip on your relationships, and let people meet the real you. Together we'll work toward feeling more at ease, more connected, and more equipped to show up in your life and relationships.

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.

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.

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.

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.
