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.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Do you fear others are judging you? Do you walk through the world trying to manage your body, your expressions, your actions, your breathing for fear of being noticed, humiliated, or rejected by others? Do you simply feel 'not good enough' in the eyes of yourself and others? Are you tired of working so hard to cope with your anxiety without ever truly feeling better? If so, you may be suffering from social anxiety and likely from the loneliness that comes from living behind the mask that others are allowed to see. At Transforming Emotions, we use integrative therapy techniques from a foundation of emotion focused therapy to help you get to the root of your social anxiety. We aim to identify and heal the underlying experiences of fear and shame that tend to underpin the experience of social anxiety and negative self-judgment. Contact us today for a free consultation to help us match you to the right therapist for your unique needs.

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.

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.
