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.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel nervous, self-conscious, or on edge in social situations? Many people with social anxiety grow up learning to doubt themselves, fear judgment, or avoid connection to stay safe. These patterns can make interactions feel overwhelming, exhausting, or impossible at times.
These feelings are not a flaw—they are natural responses to fear and past experiences. What matters is how you respond when social situations trigger anxiety. Together, we can explore your experiences, build coping strategies, and gradually increase comfort and confidence—so you can feel more at ease, connected, and lighter in social settings. You feel this way for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

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.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Social anxiety can make interactions feel exhausting, threatening, or full of self-monitoring. You may worry about being judged, rejected, embarrassed, or misunderstood. Therapy can help you understand these fears, reduce avoidance, build confidence, and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself in social situations.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social anxiety often looks like overthinking, self monitoring, and replaying conversations long after they’re over. We’ll gently unpack the beliefs underneath the fear of judgement, build skills for calming your nervous system, and practice new ways of showing up without masking. Over time, social situations can feel less like a performance and more like connection.

Jose Luis Lopez Vargas
Registered Psychotherapist, RP.
Social anxiety is explored as a real, in-the-moment experience in the body and in relationships. We gently observe your breathing, posture, and emotional responses during imagined and real social interactions. Through experiential, present-focused work, you can build safety, flexibility, and confidence in how you show yourself with others, one step at a time.

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.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
