Social Anxiety
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
I help clients with social anxiety by gently unpacking the fear of judgment, rejection, or humiliation that can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming. While social anxiety can be part of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), it’s also often a natural response for neurodivergent individuals navigating a world not designed for their communication styles or sensory needs. Therapy focuses on building self-compassion, developing coping strategies, and supporting clients in expressing themselves authentically while gradually expanding their sense of safety in social spaces.

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 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.

Social Anxiety
Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
When social anxiety takes over, even everyday interactions—like making small talk, speaking up in a meeting, or entering a room full of people—can feel like high-stakes survival tests. Reeling from a racing heart, overthinking every word, and fearing judgment, you may find yourself constantly avoiding events or analyzing your performance for hours afterward. You shouldn't have to live under the constant pressure of hyper-vigilance, nor should fear keep you isolated from the connections and opportunities you want.
Our therapists offer a warm, non-judgmental space to help you quiet social panic and regain control. Using targeted, evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and gentle exposure strategies—we partner with you to steady your physical reactions, dismantle catastrophic thinking, and rebuild your confidence at your own pace.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Calm Physical Panic: Master practical grounding and nervous-system regulation tools to soothe racing heartbeats, tension, and acute anxiety before and during social situations.
- Challenge the Fear of Judgment: Untangle the exhausting loop of self-criticism, over-analyzing, and the assumption that others are hyper-focusing on your perceived flaws.
- Reclaim Connection & Ease: Step back into social, personal, and professional environments with confidence—building genuine relationships without the urge to hide or avoid.
You don't have to keep letting social anxiety dictate your life or limit your world. Let’s partner together to help you quiet the noise of self-consciousness, step into any room with calm assurance, and connect with ease.

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.
