Social Anxiety
Laura Hall, Red Rock Psychology
Psychologist, MC, R.Psych
Working with social anxiety is designed to help individuals who experience intense fear, self-consciousness, or avoidance in social situations. I use evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to address the negative thought patterns and build confidence in real-life interactions. In a supportive and understanding environment, I work with you to reduce anxiety, improve social skills, and foster more meaningful connections with others.

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.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Social anxiety can leave you overthinking every interaction, worrying about being judged, and replaying conversations long after they've ended. You may find yourself thinking, "What if I say something embarrassing?" or "Can they tell I'm anxious?" Together, we'll explore the root causes of your social anxiety, build confidence and self esteem, and develop practical strategies to help you feel calmer, more authentic, and comfortable in social situations.

Social Anxiety
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.

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.
