Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Social anxiety affects both the mind and body, often showing up as tension, racing thoughts, avoidance, or physical discomfort in social situations. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping individuals safely explore emotions, regulate their nervous system, build self-confidence, and develop greater ease, presence, and connection in social interactions.

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.

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.

Greater Sudbury is the largest city in Northern Ontario and a regional centre for mining, healthcare, and education in a geographically vast and isolated part of Canada, where the distance from major urban centres and the realities of a resource-based economy shape the mental health landscape in specific ways. The city has a significant Indigenous population and a French-speaking minority, and mental health services that are culturally and linguistically responsive to both communities are an important part of the care landscape. Harsh winters, geographic isolation, and the cyclical economic pressures of a mining-dependent economy contribute to elevated rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use, and Laurentian University's psychology programs have historically contributed to the local supply of trained professionals. Both public and private therapy services are available, though access to specialized care can require telehealth or travel to southern Ontario.
