Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
If being around others fills you with dread, if you constantly doubt yourself in social situations, if self-consciousness keeps you isolated—you're not alone, and you're not broken. Social anxiety often grows from childhood experiences of being ignored, bullied, teased, or rejected, teaching you that connection equals danger. Together, we'll explore where these fears began, help you distinguish between real threats and anxious thoughts, and gently challenge the beliefs keeping you stuck. You'll learn to regulate your nervous system in social settings, build genuine confidence, and discover that connection can be safe. You don't have to face the world alone anymore. Healing happens one compassionate step at a time.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Social anxiety may include irrational fears and embarrassment and humiliation due to a lack of self confidence and lack of self worth in one's self, society and one's environment. The individual's work is in the increasing of self confidence and being less aware of the other's judgement or misjustice or evaluation of another.
