Jorgelina Gill
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Sc Psychology | Behaviour Therapist | RTCounsellor
With the psychodynamic approach, the client will know the causes and roots that led him to his problem; for what it is necessary an in-depth analysis of the personality by putting greater focus on the current and past experiences. This will give the client the opportunity to build a new present and future understanding and identifying triggers and own emotions.

Social anxiety can make even ordinary interactions feel overwhelming.

Jim Mason
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, ICADC, CCAC
It's normal to feel nervous in some social situations. For example, going on a date or giving a presentation may cause that feeling of butterflies in your stomach. But in social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia, everyday interactions cause significant anxiety, self-consciousness and embarrassment because you fear being scrutinized or judged negatively by others. Fear and anxiety often leads to avoidance that can disrupt your life. Severe stress can affect your relationships, daily routines, work, school or other activities.
I emphasize a compassionate approach through various cognitive therapies, including CBT. CBT focuses on disrupting negative thought patterns and replacing them with more helpful ones. CBT aims to modify the unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns that impair one’s functioning. These changes can lead to healthier behaviours and improved emotion regulation. If you're ready, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore how I can support you.

Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
Social anxiety can make everyday situations—like speaking in class, joining a group, or attending a birthday party—feel terrifying for a child. In therapy, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where children can explore their fears, learn calming strategies, and build the confidence they need to engage with others. Using play therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and expressive tools, we gently challenge anxious thoughts and celebrate small wins. I also work closely with parents to support their child’s growth outside of sessions, helping them respond with encouragement, not pressure. Social anxiety doesn’t have to define your child—together, we help them find their voice.

Denelle O'Reilly

I support children, adolescents, and adults experiencing social anxiety in building confidence and feeling more at ease in social situations. Using a warm, non-judgmental approach, I help clients understand the thoughts, fears, and patterns that contribute to anxiety in social settings. Together, we develop practical, evidence-based strategies to manage anxious thoughts, reduce avoidance, and gradually increase comfort in interactions such as conversations, school, work, and social events.

Clearway Psychology and Wellness Inc.
Psychologist, BA, MACP
Social anxiety goes far beyond shyness — it can make ordinary interactions feel like a performance you're always failing, leaving you drained, isolated, and avoiding the very connections you want most. I work with clients to understand the fears beneath their social anxiety, challenge the assumptions keeping it in place, and gradually build confidence in themselves and in relationships with others.

Rebecca Bonham
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Canadian Certified Counsellor, MPS, MTS
Many folks have learned to view their anxiety as something to battle or beat, an unwelcome part of themselves they would like to get rid of. My approach is different. Rather than "getting rid" of your anxiety, I will invite you to gather it in, with curiosity and compassion, and invite it to tell you its story. Once you understand the values, needs, and pain behind it, we can find new ways of honouring your values, getting your needs met, and healing old wounds. This process builds trust with you and your parts - once they know you are listening, they won't have to get so extreme to get your attention, and will be able to return to a healthy integrated balance within you. This allows us to get beyond symptom management to integration and healing.

Edmonton's northern location and long, dark winters contribute significantly to seasonal depression and mood challenges, making therapists with expertise in SAD and mood disorders particularly sought after. The city's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, and residents face the psychological ripple effects of boom-bust economic cycles including job instability and financial anxiety. Edmonton has a large Indigenous population, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit clients are especially valued here. Alberta Health Services provides public mental health access, with a growing private practice community serving the city's expanding southern and west-end neighbourhoods.
