Rob Pepper
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Counselling Therapist (Nova Scotia), B.Ed, M.ACP, RCT
Social anxiety often leaves a person with a life tailored to avoid social situations like the grocery store, lines at the bank, etc. Intense thoughts are produced by over-thinking and catastrophizing future situations, for example, and lead to a self-prophecy that reinforces the negative thinking. We would work together on the thinking patterns that have been so instantiated to ensure they are removed, along with coping strategies and skills to use while change is ongoing.

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.

I have supported people with social anxiety for the last 9 years. It is very prevalent amongst many populations.

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.
