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.

Social Anxiety
Ella Scaglione
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Connecting with others is a core need as a human; to be afflicted with social anxiety means that, despite being hardwired for connection, one is left feeling scared instead of connected to those around them. Worse, social anxiety tends to carve out a limited and small world for those who experience it: client's may avoid networking opportunities, parties, dating, or travel. Helping client's work with and through social anxiety is an honour: nothing compares to witnessing someone go from fearing connecting with others to craving it and leaning into it with ease.
