Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RP (Qualifying)
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.

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 situations may be very anxiety provoking for some of us. Even though we want to be around people and have deep connections, we might struggle with being comfortable in such environments. I invite you to reach out for support so we can work through your social anxiety and walk towards a more fulfilling social life together.

If social situations feel exhausting, overwhelming, or unsafe, you’re not alone. In therapy, we can explore the roots of social anxiety, work with protective parts that fear judgment or rejection, and develop practical strategies for authentic, confident connection.

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.

Social Anxiety
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Social anxiety is often a protective strategy—a part of your system that is working overtime to shield you from the perceived threat of judgment or rejection. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you move beyond 'just trying to be more social' to understanding the root of the anxiety that makes being seen feel dangerous.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore the survival strategies—like perfectionism, withdrawal, or constant self-monitoring—that your system developed to keep you safe in social settings. Together, we work to heal the underlying vulnerabilities these parts are protecting, helping you move toward a grounded sense of self-assurance and the freedom to connect with others authentically and with ease.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
Replaying conversations in your head, dreading small talk, avoiding social situations out of fear of being judged — social anxiety can make even everyday interactions feel exhausting. Using EMDR, I help you gently process the past experiences and beliefs contributing to that fear or discomfort, so the anxious response starts to ease rather than just being pushed through. Over time, this helps you engage more confidently, feel grounded in interactions, and build the meaningful connections you're looking for.
