Nadia Zamzul
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P., LL.M
I help clients who feel anxious, self-conscious, or overwhelmed in social situations understand where those fears come from and how they’ve been reinforced over time. Together, we work on reducing the fear of judgment, quieting the inner critic, and building confidence in your ability to connect with others authentically. My approach helps you feel more grounded, more comfortable being seen, and less controlled by anxiety in your relationships, work, and everyday life.

Social Anxiety
David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, draining, or overwhelming. You may find yourself overthinking conversations long after they happen, worrying about being judged, avoiding certain situations, or feeling emotionally exhausted from constantly trying to say or do the “right” thing around other people.
I provide a calm and supportive space where you can speak openly about these experiences without feeling embarrassed or misunderstood. Together, we can explore the fears, pressures, and self-doubt connected to social anxiety while working toward greater confidence, self-acceptance, and healthier ways of navigating social situations that feel more manageable and authentic to you.

Social Anxiety
Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, even when you deeply want connection. I support adults who struggle with overthinking conversations, fear of being judged, masking, rejection sensitivity, avoidance, or feeling “different” in social settings. As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand how social anxiety can overlap with ADHD, autism, burnout, and past experiences of not feeling accepted. Together, we can work toward building confidence, self-understanding, and more authentic connection at a pace that feels safe.

Social Anxiety
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Social anxiety is often a protective strategy—a part of your system that is working overtime to shield you from the perceived threat of judgment or rejection. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you move beyond 'just trying to be more social' to understanding the root of the anxiety that makes being seen feel dangerous.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore the survival strategies—like perfectionism, withdrawal, or constant self-monitoring—that your system developed to keep you safe in social settings. Together, we work to heal the underlying vulnerabilities these parts are protecting, helping you move toward a grounded sense of self-assurance and the freedom to connect with others authentically and with ease.

Social anxiety isn’t simply shyness. It often reflects deeper experiences involving safety, belonging, self-expression, and the nervous system’s response to relationships and social environments.
