Social Anxiety
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Social anxiety is not a flaw or a personal failure. It is a survival response shaped by early experiences where safety, acceptance, or connection were missing. It arises from a “wound” that leaves a person feeling unlovable or unsafe, often creating chronic tension and fear in social situations. Healing involves compassionate self-inquiry, understanding the anxiety as a signal rather than a problem, exploring how it manifests in the body, and gradually rebuilding authentic connections that restore a sense of safety and belonging.

Jeremy Finkelstein, ADHD Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social anxiety can make conversations, meetings, gatherings, and new relationships feel intimidating. You may worry about being misunderstood, saying the wrong thing, or being judged. I help adults reduce avoidance, respond differently to anxious thoughts, and build greater confidence around other people.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
Did you know that shyness is actually NOT a character trait but a stress response of being around others? It has to do with a lack of self-esteem and self-acceptance often tied to a history of ECEs (early childhood experiences).

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Social anxiety is both a cognitive and a physiological response. I help clients understand what their body is signalling in social situations and develop tools to regulate those reactions. With mindfulness and gradual exposure, social interactions can feel more relaxed and authentic.

Nadia Malik
Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety can be scary and isolating. It holds you back from living the full life you want. In our sessions together we will work on your fears of engaging with others, automatic thoughts that get in the way of forming relationships or speaking publicly, as well as how to manage social situations, calm internally, and build confidence. This can encourage you being able to show up, be yourself, and get more out of your life.

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.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Social anxiety is a condition characterized by excessive fear and self-consciousness in social situations. It can often lead to avoidance of social situations altogether, which further reinforces feelings of isolation and low self-esteem. Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition if not addressed and treated. However, with the right guidance and support, it is possible to overcome social anxiety and live a fulfilling life with healthy social interactions.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Social anxiety can be related to our sense of self/our self esteem; feeling a sense of empowerment in relationships; feeling that we are accepted just as we are; no change needed. It can involve learning new communication skills. Social anxiety if also related to experiences of shame. Bringing shame out into the light of day can help.
