If you feel as though social anxiety has become crippling or even burdensome, and that no matter how hard you try you can’t get ahead of your thoughts and emotions, I’m glad you found me! My practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to no only get the relief from the anxiety that you deserve, but to create sustainable and maintainable peace and happiness.
Do you experience intense anxiety or nervousness when faced with social situations?
Do you fear being judged or criticized by others?
Are you always worried about making mistakes, looking bad or being embarrassed in front of others?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you may have social anxiety. While it is normal to feel nervous in some social situations, people who experience daily social anxiety tend to avoid everyday interactions that cause them significant fear, anxiety, self-consciousness, and embarrassment because they fear being scrutinized or judged by others.
People with Social Anxiety Disorder often experience significant distress in the following situations:
Being teased or criticized
Being the center of attention
Being watched or observed while completing a task
Having to say something in a formal, public setting
Meeting people in authority, such as important people or authority figures
Feeling insecure and out of place in social situations
Embarrassing easily
Meeting other people’s eyes
Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health condition. Learning coping skills in therapy sessions can help you gain the confidence you need to improve your ability to interact with others.
If you feel you may have a social anxiety disorder, I encourage you to contact me today to get your path to healing and relief started, or for a free consultation.

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Social anxiety is when a person avoids interacting with people either individually or in groups to lessen the physical, emotional and mental stress they feel when they don't know how to deal with others expectations. Leaning how to best manage anxiety is the first step, unless you had a traumatic experience that created the social distancing behaviours.

Social anxiety can feel debilitating and often isolates and keeps us from achieving the life we want. I can help you learn coping skills, manage the physical symptoms of anxiety, and detach yourself from the mental chatter so that you can pursue your goals.

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.

Laura Romero
Psychologist, MC, R.Psych
Social anxiety is simply anxiety projected outward in a social situation. By building an awareness of one's relationship with anxiety, and learning how to use tools to help manage anxiety, clients can learn how to break the cycle of debilitating behaviours and gently make changes they wish to see so social situations can eventually become more comfortable and perhaps even enjoyable.
