Social Anxiety
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.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety is a common condition characterized by intense fear or apprehension in social situations. Individuals with social anxiety may worry excessively about being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated in public or among peers. This can lead to avoidance of social interactions and impact daily functioning and relationships. Symptoms can include rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and difficulty speaking. It's crucial to recognize that social anxiety is a manageable condition, and seeking help is an important step toward overcoming these challenges. Therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and support from friends and family can play a significant role in building confidence and improving social skills. With the right strategies, individuals can learn to navigate social situations more comfortably and enhance their overall well-being.

Social Anxiety
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Experiencing social anxiety means your body may be intuitively perceiving interpersonal spaces as direct threats to your safety or comfort, which is often a valid response to environments where you have faced systemic unsafety. Rather than forcing you to simply push through your fear, my online practice in BC focuses on understanding and validating these somatic threat responses. By focusing on slowed-down relational safety, we can help your nervous system soften, allowing genuine connection with others to unfold organically.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
Did you know that shyness is actually NOT a character trait but a stress response of being around others? It has to do with a lack of self-esteem and self-acceptance often tied to a history of ECEs (early childhood experiences).

Emmy Montemurro-Baxter
Registered Psychotherapist, MScEd, RP, RMFT
For many people, shyness leads to avoiding social events and interactions and keeps them from engaging in activities that they may feel uncertain about. Generally, the key to overcoming shyness and the fear of being judged is to push through the uncomfortable feelings. Therapy can help you to create a plan to gradually overcome fears associated with feeling judged or nervous in social situations. We can work together to set small achievable, realistic goals to offer you the opportunity to gain comfort in social situations. By facing anxiousness this way you can, at your own pace, ease into becoming comfortable doing things you used to avoid.

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.
