Dealing with social anxiety is stressful and upsetting. I provide a warm, compassionate approach when supporting clients dealing with social anxiety. I work to gain a deep understanding of their past, present and their personality, and utilize a combination of different therapeutic techniques to support individuals in better understating the root causes of their social anxiety, and challenging the negative thoughts that are at the core of the anxiety.

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.

David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, draining, or overwhelming. You may find yourself overthinking conversations long after they happen, worrying about being judged, avoiding certain situations, or feeling emotionally exhausted from constantly trying to say or do the “right” thing around other people.
I provide a calm and supportive space where you can speak openly about these experiences without feeling embarrassed or misunderstood. Together, we can explore the fears, pressures, and self-doubt connected to social anxiety while working toward greater confidence, self-acceptance, and healthier ways of navigating social situations that feel more manageable and authentic to you.

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.

I support clients experiencing social anxiety, including fear of judgment, self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, and difficulty feeling at ease in interpersonal settings.

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.

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social situations can be challenging and they can trigger our sense of danger, especially if we feel we might be judged or put on the spot. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore the fear that accompanies social situations and the therapy relationship can be used to learn and practice new ways of responding. When supporting individuals experiencing social anxiety, I work at a pace that is comfortable for them and empower them to learn and practice skills that will help them feel more competent and confident in social situations.
