Social Anxiety
Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel draining or unsafe. I work with clients to explore the underlying fears, manage physiological symptoms, and build social confidence. Using CBT and emotion-focused tools, we challenge critical self-beliefs and create new ways of relating to others with ease and authenticity.

Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
As a therapist, and someone who has experienced social anxiety myself, I know how much effort it can take to navigate it. During therapy, it can often be helpful to get to know the social anxiety to feel more in control of it. This can allow us to develop a unique toolkit, best suited to you, to move through the anxiety and live your most meaningful and authentic life. I am here to support you in creating and applying this toolkit. Connect with me today for a free consultation to begin your journey.

Social Anxiety
Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social situations can be challenging and they can trigger our sense of danger, especially if we feel we might be judged or put on the spot. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore the fear that accompanies social situations and the therapy relationship can be used to learn and practice new ways of responding. When supporting individuals experiencing social anxiety, I work at a pace that is comfortable for them and empower them to learn and practice skills that will help them feel more competent and confident in social situations.

Social Anxiety
Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, I understand that social anxiety is far more than just "shyness"—it is a paralyzing, exhausting fear of judgment that can completely shrink your or your child's world. Drawing on over 20 years of clinical experience specializing in youth and family systems, I provide a gentle, evidence-based space to help individuals manage racing thoughts, overcome social avoidance, and build genuine confidence in their relationships.
Social anxiety often presents as severe school refusal, selective mutism, difficulty making friends, or intense panic before social gatherings. For children and teenagers, these fears can be deeply intertwined with ADHD or neurodivergent masking. In our sessions, I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills with creative play and art therapy. This multi-modal approach allows younger clients to safely externalize their fears, practice gentle social exposures, and regulate physical anxiety symptoms like a racing heart or stomach aches without feeling overwhelmed.
For adults, social anxiety frequently manifests as chronic workplace stress, performance anxiety, or profound social fatigue. We work collaboratively to deconstruct negative thought patterns, build assertive communication tools, and establish healthy boundaries so you can navigate life's transitions with confidence. Your family does not have to live in isolation—contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation.

Kayla Schofield
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
A person with social anxiety disorder feels symptoms of anxiety or fear in situations where they may be scrutinized, evaluated, or judged by others, such as speaking in public, meeting new people, dating, being on a job interview, answering a question in class, or having to talk to a cashier.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety turns ordinary moments into performances: rehearsing sentences before you say them, replaying conversations for days, feeling watched and judged even among friends. The loneliness of wanting connection while fearing it is real, and it's more common than you know. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space to understand your anxiety without shame, quiet the inner critic that narrates every interaction, and gradually build confidence in being seen. The goal isn't to become someone else, it's to genuinely understand yourself, loosen fear's grip on your relationships, and let people meet the real you. Together we'll work toward feeling more at ease, more connected, and more equipped to show up in your life and relationships.
