Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with social anxiety, you may feel tense or self-conscious in conversations, meetings, or social gatherings. You might replay interactions afterward, worrying about what you said or how you were perceived. Even small social situations can feel draining, and you may avoid opportunities because the anticipation feels overwhelming.
At Selah Counselling, we approach social anxiety with compassion and practical support. Social anxiety is not a lack of confidence. It is often a nervous system response shaped by past experiences, fear of judgment, or heightened sensitivity to social cues. Together, we work on calming the body’s stress response, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and building gradual exposure in a way that feels manageable. Our goal is to help you participate more fully in your life with greater steadiness, self-trust, and confidence in your voice.

Andrea Laznik Amit
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA in clinical psychology
Sometimes we have difficulty or humiliating experiences that mark us and make us anticipate they will be repeated in each social encounter. We can process those feelings so that the fear won’t control your future relationships.

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.
