Social Anxiety
Elliott Kemmet
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, BSW, RSW
In my practice focusing on social anxiety, I provide a warm and supportive environment where clients can safely explore their fears of social interaction and public scrutiny. Understanding that social anxiety can significantly hinder personal and professional relationships, I guide clients through the process of identifying the roots of their anxiety, developing coping strategies, and gradually facing social situations with increased confidence and less distress. My approach is compassionate and personalized, emphasizing the development of social skills and self-esteem in a paced and gradual manner. Together, we work on strategies that reduce anxiety triggers and build a more positive self-perception, enabling clients to engage more freely and comfortably in social environments. This journey is about transforming fear into freedom, one step at a time.

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.

Shannon Loewen
Psychologist, M.Sc. Counselling Psychology
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.

Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Therapy with my practice offers individuals a safe place to express their deepest thoughts and emotions with caring and highly trained professionals who are committed to their well-being. My clients come to me to share challenges they may be facing in the present, worries about their future, and/or unresolved past hurts --- with the goals of healing, developing effective tools for personal growth, gaining insight and direction, improving their relationships, and/or improving their over all sense of well being and quality of life. While therapy cannot directly change your external world, it will work to transform the internal world of your mind --- allowing you to live a truly rich and meaningful life. Social anxiety can feel crippling, but I can equip you with highly effective skills to overcome and live a life that is not dictated by fear.

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.

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.
