Social Anxiety
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Navigating social situations, professional gatherings, or everyday interactions with a constant, heavy fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized can make the world feel exhausting and overwhelmingly exposed. Social anxiety often convinces you to shrink away, stay silent, or avoid the very connections you secretly long for. You do not have to carry that intense self-consciousness alone. Using a collaborative, evidence-based cognitive behavioural approach, we will work together to gently untangle the cycle of anticipatory worry and self-criticism, test out fearful assumptions at a pace that feels safe for you, and build practical strategies to help you step into interactions with greater ease, confidence, and comfort in your own skin.
