Bree Bonanno
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Social awkwardness is a common aspect of social anxiety, where individuals feel uncomfortable or uncertain in various social situations. Symptoms may manifest as difficulty maintaining eye contact, stumbling over words, excessive self-consciousness, or feeling like an outsider. It can lead to avoidance of social gatherings, which further perpetuates anxiety.
Therapy for social awkwardness focuses on building self-awareness, improving communication skills, and desensitizing individuals to social situations. It's about enhancing social confidence and helping individuals feel more at ease in various interactions, ultimately improving their overall quality of life. Even if you arent ready to address this part yet, I am well-versed in working with individuals that struggle with social anxiety.

Reegan Bushby
Therapist, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Anxiety is a natural bodily response to our environment, but it can sometimes appear when we don't want it to. I often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in my practice, but like to pull from other modalities when it appears necessary for your treatment goals to be reached. We will often focus on how our thoughts and the environment around us, impact our emotions and behaviours that might not be suiting us. Together, we will work towards your specific goals in order to create change in your everyday life. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to connect with any questions you may have.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Exploring your social anxiety in therapy can help identify how anxiety is manifesting itself and work to minimize the disruptive patterns it provokes in your life. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.
