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.

Berry Didier Nibogora - Bilingual CBT therapist @ CMAP Health
Counsellor/Therapist, RP(Q), CCPA, LLM
Social anxiety is a fear of negative evaluation or judgment in social situations that impacts your ability to do things that are important to you. You may be anxious about your performance in various social or public situations, you may be anxious about meeting new people you don’t know or eating in public or using public restrooms, as long as it does not impact your functioning, you are not a socially anxious sufferer. In order to effectively help clients to overcome their social anxiety, I use Clark and Wells model consisting of developing a personalized formulation, targeting safety and avoidance behaviour while redirecting the attention towards the environment instead of on self. Various experiments are involved to correct the social image one has of self and facilitate acquisition of new knowledge through surveys, social interactions, video feedback and processing the outcomes of behavioural experiments. At an advanced stage, I facilitate client to discriminate between the time (usually during childhood) when a traumatic event disturbed their beliefs about themselves, the word and the future and the here and now as a flexible adult with all the tools, flexibility and resources to manage and respond to whatever come their way.

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

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
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.
