Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Social awkwardness is a common aspect of social anxiety, where individuals feel uncomfortable or uncertain in various social situations. Symptoms may manifest as difficulty maintaining eye contact, stumbling over words, excessive self-consciousness, or feeling like an outsider. It can lead to avoidance of social gatherings, which further perpetuates anxiety.
Therapy for social awkwardness focuses on building self-awareness, improving communication skills, and desensitizing individuals to social situations. It's about enhancing social confidence and helping individuals feel more at ease in various interactions, ultimately improving their overall quality of life. Even if you arent ready to address this part yet, I am well-versed in working with individuals that struggle with social anxiety.

Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Soulful Therapy holds space for client's to identify and address multiple internal parts or families within each person’s mental system. These different parts consist of wounded parts and painful emotions such as anger and shame, as well as parts that try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. When left unresolved, it can lead to these maladaptive parts overwhelming us with anxious thoughts.
These parts may be in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self, a concept that describes the confident, compassionate, whole person that is at the core of every individual. Together, we will focus on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the parts and the Self.
