Social Anxiety
Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
Helping women to hold space for the discomfort that feeling anxiety and fear brings, especially in social situations. With social anxiety often comes feelings of overwhelm, a sense of dread about being around others, obsessive worrying about what others think, not knowing what to do or say- like your mind going blank, digestive issues, and avoidant behaviour. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes behind your thoughts, feelings and symptoms to provide you with concrete, practical tools you can use to support overwhelming emotions. From working together you can develop awareness and insight into thought and behaviour patterns, while learning to relate more amicably to the emotions gripping and pushing you around or preventing you from living your life. When we do this, we can focus more on what matters in our life and the kind of person we want to be.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Social anxiety isn't shyness, and it isn't something you can think your way out of by reminding yourself people aren't watching that closely. It lives in the body, in anticipation, in the replay afterward. I work with clients on the whole cycle of it, not just the moments of avoidance, but the exhaustion of managing it constantly and what it's cost them over time.

Rachelle Trudel - *psychothérapeute bilingue*
Registered Psychotherapist, RP/PA, CCC
Do you feel uncomfortable in groups or crowds and prefer one on one or small social gatherings with trusted others? Do you come up with excuses to avoid social events? Do you constantly worry about what others are thinking of you and wonder if you did or said something wrong? You're not alone, and you may have social anxiety. I help my clients with these types of fears understand where they come from, and develop healthier self-esteem to help counter them. I would be happy to support you in feeling more confident and connected!

Social Anxiety
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel tense, exhausting, or full of self-monitoring. You may fear being judged, rejected, embarrassed, or misunderstood. Therapy can help you understand the thoughts, body sensations, and avoidance patterns that keep social anxiety going, while gradually building confidence, self-acceptance, and more freedom in relationships.

Social Anxiety
Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Social anxiety often goes hand-in-hand with neurodivergence. I specialize in supporting suspected or late diagnosed ADHDers and AuDHDers who are "high-masking", perfectionistic, and/or cycle between introversion and extroversion. Social anxiety can also be a symptom of trauma. If you are feeling nervous, withdrawn, lonely or are self-isolated, I would like to encourage you to reach out. Improving social anxiety begins when you give yourself permission to connect
