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.

Rochelle Aljammas (Trauma, Relationship, BPD)
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., B.A. (Hons)
Social anxiety can feel like being watched, judged, always “on,” always calculating what others think, second‑guessing yourself. I’ll help you explore what lies beneath social fears (past experiences, self‑beliefs, shame), practice exposure in safe ways, build confidence, and shift toward more ease in social situations — or more peace with choosing when and how to engage.

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).

Karen Skinulis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I approach the issue of Social Anxiety from an Adlerian perspective. As with all forms of anxiety I recognize this problem results from a feeling of being overwhelmed by stress. Together with my client, whether it's an adolescent, child (together with their family) or an adult, we use CBT and exposure therapy to help uncover mistakes in the private logic and shift to a more realistic way of viewing ourselves in a social situation. Perfectionism and other mistaken ideas are often at the heart of social anxiety. By challenging unhelpful and unrealistic ideas in an empathetic and supportive way we are able to redefine our view of self and others.
