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.

Social Anxiety
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Social anxiety is often a protective strategy—a part of your system that is working overtime to shield you from the perceived threat of judgment or rejection. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you move beyond 'just trying to be more social' to understanding the root of the anxiety that makes being seen feel dangerous.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore the survival strategies—like perfectionism, withdrawal, or constant self-monitoring—that your system developed to keep you safe in social settings. Together, we work to heal the underlying vulnerabilities these parts are protecting, helping you move toward a grounded sense of self-assurance and the freedom to connect with others authentically and with ease.

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.
