Social Anxiety
Aleksei Panov
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Psy, MS Psy, RP
For dealing with social anxiety, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of anxiety and then they are able to take control of their bodies, secondly we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them. We learn how to accept ourselves, and stop worrying about other people's opinions.

Social Anxiety
Tej Neringer, Pivotal Counseling
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety disorder is an intense, persistent fear of being watched and judged by others. My approach to working with Anxiety is twofold. First, learning coping strategies and ways to cope with anxiety in the moment so that you are better able to stay grounded and continue with life, even when anxiety is present. Second, we identify, explore and challenge any thoughts, beliefs or behaviours that are contributing to the on-going anxiety, with the goal of understanding the root cause of the anxiety and adjusting thought patterns to reduce or eliminate anxiety moving forward.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel nervous, self-conscious, or on edge in social situations? Many people with social anxiety grow up learning to doubt themselves, fear judgment, or avoid connection to stay safe. These patterns can make interactions feel overwhelming, exhausting, or impossible at times.
These feelings are not a flaw—they are natural responses to fear and past experiences. What matters is how you respond when social situations trigger anxiety. Together, we can explore your experiences, build coping strategies, and gradually increase comfort and confidence—so you can feel more at ease, connected, and lighter in social settings. You feel this way for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Online in Oakville, ON Ontario
Oakville is one of the most affluent municipalities in Canada — a well-established Toronto suburb with a high median household income, well-funded schools, and a therapy culture that reflects the stresses of high-achieving, upper-middle-class suburban family life. The city's concentration of executives, professionals, and their families creates demand for therapists working with relationship complexity, parenting under pressure, and the psychological costs of maintaining prosperity and family cohesion. Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community. Oakville's growing diversity — with expanding South Asian and East Asian communities in its newer residential subdivisions — is gradually broadening the range of cultural frameworks therapists need to engage with.
