Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
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.

Social Anxiety
Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to fear of judgment, avoidance of social situations, and difficulty expressing oneself confidently. It can affect relationships, work, and overall quality of life. I offer a safe and understanding space where clients can explore these concerns without pressure or criticism.
My approach focuses on building emotional safety, self-confidence, and practical coping skills. Through gradual support, clients learn to manage anxious thoughts, strengthen self-trust, and feel more comfortable engaging in social and professional settings at their own pace.

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
Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Social anxiety isn't just about being "shy"—it is a full-body experience of hyper-vigilance, self-doubt, and the constant fear of being judged. For high-achieving individuals, it often manifests as an exhausting habit of over-analyzing every conversation, worrying about how you are being perceived, and feeling an overbearing pressure to perform flawlessly in social or professional settings. Privately, this loops into intense post-event rumination, a loud inner critic, and a profound sense of loneliness because it feels safer to isolate than to risk being misunderstood or exposed.I provide specialized, compassionate counselling support for individuals navigating the heavy weight of social anxiety, fears, and chronic self-consciousness. Together, we tackle social anxiety from both a mindset and a physiological standpoint. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to gently untangle the hyper-critical thought patterns, challenge anxious predictions, and build practical mindset tools to navigate social environments.Because social anxiety instantly triggers your nervous system's survival response—causing physical symptoms like a racing heart, shallow breathing, muscle tension, or a desire to completely shut down—traditional talk therapy can keep you trapped in your head. To bypass that cognitive loop, we integrate tailored breathing techniques, somatic tools, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to safely target, process, and release the physical trauma of feeling unsafe or exposed in front of others. Together, we will calm your nervous system so you can reclaim your boundaries, quiet the self-doubt, and navigate connections with a genuine sense of safety and ease.
