Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating men’s issues, women’s issues (including perimenopause), and the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.

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.

Psychologist, RPsych
When social anxiety takes over, even everyday interactions—like making small talk, speaking up in a meeting, or entering a room full of people—can feel like high-stakes survival tests. Reeling from a racing heart, overthinking every word, and fearing judgment, you may find yourself constantly avoiding events or analyzing your performance for hours afterward. You shouldn't have to live under the constant pressure of hyper-vigilance, nor should fear keep you isolated from the connections and opportunities you want.
Our therapists offer a warm, non-judgmental space to help you quiet social panic and regain control. Using targeted, evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and gentle exposure strategies—we partner with you to steady your physical reactions, dismantle catastrophic thinking, and rebuild your confidence at your own pace.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Calm Physical Panic: Master practical grounding and nervous-system regulation tools to soothe racing heartbeats, tension, and acute anxiety before and during social situations.
- Challenge the Fear of Judgment: Untangle the exhausting loop of self-criticism, over-analyzing, and the assumption that others are hyper-focusing on your perceived flaws.
- Reclaim Connection & Ease: Step back into social, personal, and professional environments with confidence—building genuine relationships without the urge to hide or avoid.
You don't have to keep letting social anxiety dictate your life or limit your world. Let’s partner together to help you quiet the noise of self-consciousness, step into any room with calm assurance, and connect with ease.

David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, draining, or overwhelming. You may find yourself overthinking conversations long after they happen, worrying about being judged, avoiding certain situations, or feeling emotionally exhausted from constantly trying to say or do the “right” thing around other people.
I provide a calm and supportive space where you can speak openly about these experiences without feeling embarrassed or misunderstood. Together, we can explore the fears, pressures, and self-doubt connected to social anxiety while working toward greater confidence, self-acceptance, and healthier ways of navigating social situations that feel more manageable and authentic to you.
