Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
The root cause of social anxiety is usually connected to self-esteem, insecurities, rejection or abandonment issues, trauma, and many other adverse experiences. We'll work to explore clients' identity to help them know who they were meant to be, to build confidence, assertiveness skills, communication skills, social skills, and more.

Megan Hanrahan
Psychologist, M.C., Registered Psychologist
Social anxiety is a form of anxiety that revolves around being concerned about the thoughts and opinions of others. Sometimes it makes you question things you’ve said or done and can make you so anxious that you avoid social situations altogether. In our work together, we’ll explore how social anxiety shows up for you, what it tries to tell you, and how to tackle it head-on.

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.

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.

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.
