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.

Living with constant worry and panic can feel exhausting, especially in social settings (work or play). Anxiety counselling provides a safe, structured space to figure out what is driving your stress. My counselling approach will help you understand your body's - ie: your nervous system- reactions, and learn practical tools to change negative thought patterns so you can get your life back.
