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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with social anxiety, you may feel tense or self-conscious in conversations, meetings, or social gatherings. You might replay interactions afterward, worrying about what you said or how you were perceived. Even small social situations can feel draining, and you may avoid opportunities because the anticipation feels overwhelming.
At Selah Counselling, we approach social anxiety with compassion and practical support. Social anxiety is not a lack of confidence. It is often a nervous system response shaped by past experiences, fear of judgment, or heightened sensitivity to social cues. Together, we work on calming the body’s stress response, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and building gradual exposure in a way that feels manageable. Our goal is to help you participate more fully in your life with greater steadiness, self-trust, and confidence in your voice.

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.

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.

Resilient Roots Therapy - Social Work and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MA, RP
Even with social anxiety, you've experienced moments when interactions felt more comfortable or when you successfully navigated social situations - perhaps a conversation that flowed naturally or a time when you felt more at ease - these experiences contain valuable clues about your natural ability to connect with others. By building on these instances of social confidence and drawing from your existing interpersonal strengths, you'll find that meaningful connections become more accessible as you gradually expand the moments when anxiety holds less power over your social experiences.

Caroline Lacelle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
My treatment approach follows the three phases of trauma treatment; resourcing, reprocessing, and reorienting. Together we will determine the resources you may need to tap into a grounded sense of self through somatic practices and parts work. Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR, and ART guide reprocessing to shift past experiences into the past so you can reorient and engage fully in the present.
