Social Anxiety
North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
We all have feelings of worry from time to time. However if these thoughts and feelings are persistent and you find you have constant worries about social interactions, what people may be thinking about you, how others perceive you and self-doubt in social situations, you may be struggling with social anxiety. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool to help manage and mitigate symptoms of social anxiety by uncovering the root cause of your worries. By understanding your fears and triggers, you can better navigate anxiety provoking situations and move through them with more ease and confidence.

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.

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.
