Social Anxiety
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.

Diana Wamsteeker
Registered Social Worker, MSW RSW
I support clients experiencing social anxiety, including fear of judgment, self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, and difficulty feeling at ease in interpersonal settings. Social anxiety can impact relationships, work, school, and everyday interactions, often leading to isolation or ongoing self-criticism. My approach is supportive and practical, helping you better understand the patterns that maintain anxiety while gradually building confidence and tolerance in social situations. Together, we work on reducing avoidance, strengthening self-compassion, and developing tools that help you feel more grounded, authentic, and comfortable in connection with others.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Social anxiety can show up as fear of being judged, worrying about how others perceive you, difficulty speaking up, feeling tense or high anxiety in social settings, wanting to cancel plans or isolate, a fear of judgement, or replaying conversations and interactions in your mind. You may feel pressure to perform, hide parts of yourself, or experience physical symptoms of anxiety when around others. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to help release the deeper roots of social fear and tension. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports you in feeling safer, more grounded in your body, and more able to show up as your authentic self with greater ease.
