Social Anxiety
Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety can sometimes stop life in it's tracks. Feeling overwhelming fear and experiencing unhelpful thoughts when in a social setting can make interacting with others so challenging. The good news is that the social anxiety bully can be put in it's place. You can learn strategies that will enable you to control social anxiety and help you to flourish. Together, we will utilize CBT strategies (building an avoidance hierarchy, attempting steps on hierarchy, teaching about cognitive distortions, recognizing triggers, teaching relaxation and grounding techniques). I provide significant psychoeducation on proven clinical methods for managing social anxiety. All the aforementioned presented kindly with empathy for the difficulties experienced. I spend considerable time exploring the roots of anxiety (core beliefs, rules and assumptions, automatic thoughts and adverse childhood events which can result in anxiety symptoms). You will also learn about relaxation and mindfulness to help you live the life you deserve. Congratulations on taking the first step; I look forward to meeting you.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
I help women who are suffering with social anxiety. Social anxiety usually stems from past negative social experiences and low self esteem. I know what it’s like, I have been there, maybe you have the anxious thoughts before a social event, like "What if this happens? What if I make a fool of myself?" And maybe you have anxious thoughts during a conversation "Oh no, can they tell I am anxious? Do I sound stupid?" And the mortifying feels afterward "Did I say something embarrassing?!" I know the struggle, and I can help you become more confident socially by working with the root cause of your social anxiety and give you the tools to manage it. Message me for a free 15 minute phone consult and we can get started finding you some relief and confidence!

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety can make you overthink everything—what to say, how you came across, what people “must” be thinking. Therapy helps you reduce self-conscious spirals, build confidence, and practice exposure in a way that feels structured and doable. You can become more present in social situations instead of performing for approval.

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.

Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
When social situations feel constantly overwhelming, avoidance can start to feel like the only relief — even as it costs you connection and opportunity. I help clients understand the patterns that fuel social anxiety and build, step by step, the confidence and skills to re-engage with the people and situations that matter to them.

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.

Richmond Hill is a rapidly growing Toronto suburb in York Region with a majority Chinese population in many of its newer residential developments, alongside significant South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, creating strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Farsi-speaking therapists who can work within East Asian and Iranian cultural frameworks. The city's affluent suburban character and proximity to Toronto's tech and finance economy create a population with both the means and motivation to seek therapy, though help-seeking stigma in some East Asian and Middle Eastern communities remains a consideration. Mackenzie Health provides institutional mental health resources, with many residents also accessing the broader Greater Toronto Area therapy ecosystem. Richmond Hill's fast growth and relatively new development mean community ties can be shallow, and therapists frequently address social isolation and the challenge of belonging in a transient suburban environment.
