Claire Benade
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety can lead to feelings of isolation and eventually can create a cycle of low mood. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamic (if relevant) to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having to move you forward in your healing process. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

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 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.

Kevin Ruddell
Psychologist, M.A., R. Psych
Social anxiety is an anxiety disorder which tends occur when we fear being judged by others. Our mind may be dominated by fears that we will do something embarrassing or processing things we have done with others previously wishing we could change what we said or the way we acted. By building confidence and challenging the negative thoughts we can often reduce the fears of being in social settings and find ourselves more comfortable in the company of others.
