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.

Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RPq
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming and isolating, affecting both personal and professional life. I specialize in social anxiety therapy, helping clients develop the confidence and skills needed to navigate social situations with ease. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness techniques, I support clients in understanding the root causes of their anxiety, challenging negative thought patterns, and building coping strategies for real-world situations. If you struggle with fear of judgment, avoidance of social events, or discomfort in social settings, I’m here to help you overcome social anxiety and reclaim your confidence.

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.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Social anxiety isn't shyness. It's the relentless monitoring, the replaying of conversations, the exhausting effort of managing how you come across while also trying to actually be present. It can make connection feel like a test you keep failing. I work with people to understand where that hypervigilance came from and gradually build a sense of safety that doesn't depend on getting everything exactly right.
