Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
The first thing you should know is I am very friendly and approachable and that I am willing to meet you wherever you are at in your journey towards trying to address social anxiety. A big part of my focus is on addressing shame or self-judgment around social anxiety as this is often one of the main drivers. I also like to used structured CBT approaches that address unhelpful thoughts, excessive self-focused attention, avoidance of social interactions and many others. Client's often find it helpful to gradually exposure exercises where they gradually move towards feared social situations in small increments and at their own pace. I have also started exploring virtual reality exposure therapy to help aid clients who are not ready for real life exposure yet.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming or exhausting. You may worry about being judged, embarrassed, or saying the “wrong” thing, which can lead to avoidance, self-doubt, or a constant sense of tension in social situations. These patterns can impact work, relationships, and daily life, making you feel stuck or isolated.
In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore these experiences, understand the thoughts and feelings behind your anxiety, and develop practical strategies to manage discomfort. Together, we work toward building confidence, ease, and a greater sense of connection in social situations.
