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.

We Can Help:
Understanding Social Anxiety: We'll explore the root causes of your social anxiety and provide information about how it works.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a powerful tool for social anxiety. We'll help you identify negative thought patterns and develop coping mechanisms to challenge them.
Exposure Therapy (gradually facing feared situations): In a safe and controlled online environment, we can help you gradually expose yourself to social situations that trigger your anxiety, building confidence and reducing fear.
Social Skills Training: We can teach you practical skills for navigating social situations, including communication skills, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques.
Building Confidence and Self-Compassion: Our goal is to empower you to connect with others authentically and build a healthy sense of self-worth, regardless of social situations.

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 can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to fear of judgment, avoidance of social situations, and difficulty expressing oneself confidently.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space to work through social anxiety—those moments of fear, avoidance, or self-consciousness that limit connection. We’ll map triggers, practice practical skills (breathing, cognitive reframing, gradual exposure), and build confidence in real-world interactions. I’ll support you with steady guidance and actionable strategies so you can engage more comfortably and authentically.

Social Anxiety
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.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Social anxiety is very common and can greatly be helped by re-setting the central nervous system and brain, as well as reframing any negative beliefs and fears that are in the unconscious mind. This can be accomplished through neurofeedback, hypnosis along with learning effective sills and tools.
