Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety is a common condition characterized by intense fear or apprehension in social situations. Individuals with social anxiety may worry excessively about being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated in public or among peers. This can lead to avoidance of social interactions and impact daily functioning and relationships. Symptoms can include rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and difficulty speaking. It's crucial to recognize that social anxiety is a manageable condition, and seeking help is an important step toward overcoming these challenges. Therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and support from friends and family can play a significant role in building confidence and improving social skills. With the right strategies, individuals can learn to navigate social situations more comfortably and enhance their overall well-being.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in helping you overcome social anxiety through an integrative, client-centered approach. We’ll use acceptance and commitment therapy to cultivate willingness to experience anxiety in service of your values, mindfulness practices to anchor you in the present moment, and parts work to soothe the inner voices that fuel self-doubt. Cognitive and behavioral techniques will challenge unhelpful beliefs about social situations, while emotion-focused therapy supports you in processing the underlying fears. When appropriate, I incorporate spiritual/existential approaches to tap into your inner strength. Together, we’ll build the confidence and practical skills you need to engage authentically and comfortably in social settings.

Social Anxiety
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.

Social anxiety can make everyday situations feel overwhelming—whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, meeting new people, or even spending time with friends. You may find yourself worrying about being judged, replaying conversations in your head, or avoiding social situations altogether. In therapy, I provide a safe and understanding space to explore where these fears come from, gently challenge negative thought patterns, and build tools to help you feel calmer and more confident. Together, we’ll work toward easing the anxiety and creating more freedom and comfort in your connections with others.

Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety can sometimes stop life in it's tracks. Feeling overwhelming fear and experiencing unhelpful thoughts when in a social setting can make interacting with others so challenging. The good news is that the social anxiety bully can be put in it's place. You can learn strategies that will enable you to control social anxiety and help you to flourish. Together, we will utilize CBT strategies (building an avoidance hierarchy, attempting steps on hierarchy, teaching about cognitive distortions, recognizing triggers, teaching relaxation and grounding techniques). I provide significant psychoeducation on proven clinical methods for managing social anxiety. All the aforementioned presented kindly with empathy for the difficulties experienced. I spend considerable time exploring the roots of anxiety (core beliefs, rules and assumptions, automatic thoughts and adverse childhood events which can result in anxiety symptoms). You will also learn about relaxation and mindfulness to help you live the life you deserve. Congratulations on taking the first step; I look forward to meeting you.
