Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
When social situations feel constantly overwhelming, avoidance can start to feel like the only relief — even as it costs you connection and opportunity. I help clients understand the patterns that fuel social anxiety and build, step by step, the confidence and skills to re-engage with the people and situations that matter to them.

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social situations can be challenging and they can trigger our sense of danger, especially if we feel we might be judged or put on the spot. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore the fear that accompanies social situations and the therapy relationship can be used to learn and practice new ways of responding. When supporting individuals experiencing social anxiety, I work at a pace that is comfortable for them and empower them to learn and practice skills that will help them feel more competent and confident in social situations.

Support for social anxiety focuses on helping individuals manage fear of judgment, reduce avoidance, and build confidence in social and performance situations.

The goal is to reduce anxiety, increase comfort in social interactions, and support greater ease, confidence, and connection in everyday life.

Andrea Wiebe
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety with greater clarity and confidence. I create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their worries and fears without judgment, and develop a deeper sense of internal steadiness.
I help clients strengthen self-awareness, regulate overwhelming emotions, and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety. Together, we build practical tools for calm problem-solving, effective communication, and more confident parenting. I also support clients in healing from past experiences that may be fueling anxious patterns and in letting go of coping strategies that no longer serve them.
My goal is to help clients move beyond chronic stress and self-doubt toward lives grounded in self-compassion, resilience, meaningful connection, and a renewed sense of peace.
