Social Anxiety
Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting clients with social anxiety focuses on creating a safe, understanding space where they can explore fears, self-consciousness, and avoidance patterns without judgment. I work collaboratively to help clients identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and gradually build confidence in social situations. Using evidence-informed strategies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, exposure techniques, and skills-building exercises, I support clients in managing anxiety, improving communication, and strengthening self-esteem. My goal is to empower clients to engage more fully in their personal and professional lives while developing lasting confidence and resilience in social interactions.

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
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.
