New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Social anxiety does not have to interfere with the life you want to live. We want to help you learn what is getting in the way of meaningful and stress-free social interactions - how your thoughts are contributing to the fear and discomfort that you feel in social situations. We also want to help you develop skills so that you can relate to these thoughts a little differently and build confidence in social situations. This includes understanding what is happening in your body when you feel anxious and how you can regulate and establish a feeling of safety.
It IS possible to make new meaningful connections, to not have to analyze each social interaction, and to advocate for yourself at home and work.
Contact us for a complimentary 15-minute consultation - we will connect you with clinicians from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Social anxiety is often far more than just “shyness.” It can involve fear of judgment, overthinking, masking, self-criticism, rejection sensitivity, trauma, neurodivergence, nervous system overload, or the exhausting pressure of constantly monitoring yourself around others.
For many people, social anxiety is not simply about social skills — it is about safety, self-trust, and the fear of being misunderstood, rejected, or exposed.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you better understand what may be happening beneath the surface while building confidence, reducing shame, strengthening emotional regulation, and creating more freedom in how you connect with others.
Together, we work toward helping relationships and social experiences feel more manageable, authentic, and less exhausting.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
I help women who are suffering with social anxiety. Social anxiety usually stems from past negative social experiences and low self esteem. I know what it’s like, I have been there, maybe you have the anxious thoughts before a social event, like "What if this happens? What if I make a fool of myself?" And maybe you have anxious thoughts during a conversation "Oh no, can they tell I am anxious? Do I sound stupid?" And the mortifying feels afterward "Did I say something embarrassing?!" I know the struggle, and I can help you become more confident socially by working with the root cause of your social anxiety and give you the tools to manage it. Message me for a free 15 minute phone consult and we can get started finding you some relief and confidence!

James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
While working with social anxiety looks a lot like working with anxiety per se, I've found that there's often an added layer of pressure with it. Jobs, school, dating, and other situations often highlight where our anxieties express themselves, and often increase the sense that we need to sort it out sooner than later. I work with folks to address their unique cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and physiological expressions of anxiety, and to build trust that folks can have more power over their feelings than their feelings have over them.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Social anxiety is not a flaw or a personal failure. It is a survival response shaped by early experiences where safety, acceptance, or connection were missing. It arises from a “wound” that leaves a person feeling unlovable or unsafe, often creating chronic tension and fear in social situations. Healing involves compassionate self-inquiry, understanding the anxiety as a signal rather than a problem, exploring how it manifests in the body, and gradually rebuilding authentic connections that restore a sense of safety and belonging.
