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.

Madison Chen
Counsellor/Therapist, MCP, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
It is so incredibly challenging for so many of us to feel comfortable in social spaces. We crave connections, yet the thoughts of being judged and disliked discouraged us from reaching out. In therapy, we can together trace back to the origins of these insecurities, unpack these memories, and transforms our fears into confidence, self-acceptance, and compassion.

For dealing with social anxiety, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of anxiety and then they are able to take control of their bodies, secondly we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them.
