Social Anxiety
Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Social anxiety can make conversations, meeting new people, or being noticed feel stressful. You may worry about being judged, avoid certain situations, or replay interactions afterward. These experiences can feel isolating, but you don’t have to work through them on your own.
In therapy, we can explore what makes social situations difficult and how anxiety affects your thoughts and actions. I draw on CBT and DBT strategies to help you respond to anxious thoughts, manage distress, and practise approaching situations in manageable ways. We’ll work at a pace that respects your needs and focus on the connections and activities that matter to you.

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.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety is more than just being shy; it is an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. This can lead to avoiding social gatherings or "over-analyzing" every interaction long after it's over. Therapy provides a gradual, supportive way to challenge these fears, helping you build social confidence and engage with others without the heavy weight of self-consciousness.
