Social Anxiety
Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
If being around others fills you with dread, if you constantly doubt yourself in social situations, if self-consciousness keeps you isolated—you're not alone, and you're not broken. Social anxiety often grows from childhood experiences of being ignored, bullied, teased, or rejected, teaching you that connection equals danger. Together, we'll explore where these fears began, help you distinguish between real threats and anxious thoughts, and gently challenge the beliefs keeping you stuck. You'll learn to regulate your nervous system in social settings, build genuine confidence, and discover that connection can be safe. You don't have to face the world alone anymore. Healing happens one compassionate step at a time.

Social Anxiety
Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Social anxiety is one of the most common anxiety disorders. Many people have some discomfort meeting new people, talking in front of a group, making or answering phone calls, and making small talk. Anxiety in social situations starts becoming a problem if it's causing you difficulties in work, school, with your family, keeping or making friends, or is very intense when you're in these situations. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will learn to accurately assess the fears you have in these situations, and learn skills to manage your anxiety when it does not match the threat of the situation. We will also work on interpersonal skills training to help with more accurate communicating if this is something you struggles with, as well as setting and maintaining boundaries and limits.
