Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Exploring your social anxiety in therapy can help identify how anxiety is manifesting itself and work to minimize the disruptive patterns it provokes in your life. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

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.

Social Anxiety
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.

Tej Neringer, Pivotal Counseling
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety disorder is an intense, persistent fear of being watched and judged by others. My approach to working with Anxiety is twofold. First, learning coping strategies and ways to cope with anxiety in the moment so that you are better able to stay grounded and continue with life, even when anxiety is present. Second, we identify, explore and challenge any thoughts, beliefs or behaviours that are contributing to the on-going anxiety, with the goal of understanding the root cause of the anxiety and adjusting thought patterns to reduce or eliminate anxiety moving forward.

Jessie Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
Social anxiety can be debilitating as it often is the very opposite of what one is striving for: connection with others. In my practice, we look at the specifics of what may be bringing someone distress in social situations, what these social situations may be and I help provide tools for being able to rebuild courage and resilience to face these day-to-day stressors.
