Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety can make you overthink everything—what to say, how you came across, what people “must” be thinking. Therapy helps you reduce self-conscious spirals, build confidence, and practice exposure in a way that feels structured and doable. You can become more present in social situations instead of performing for approval.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Social anxiety often goes hand-in-hand with neurodivergence. I specialize in supporting suspected or late diagnosed ADHDers and AuDHDers who are "high-masking", perfectionistic, and/or cycle between introversion and extroversion. Social anxiety can also be a symptom of trauma. If you are feeling nervous, withdrawn, lonely or are self-isolated, I would like to encourage you to reach out. Improving social anxiety begins when you give yourself permission to connect

James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
While working with social anxiety looks a lot like working with anxiety per se, I've found that there's often an added layer of pressure with it. Jobs, school, dating, and other situations often highlight where our anxieties express themselves, and often increase the sense that we need to sort it out sooner than later. I work with folks to address their unique cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and physiological expressions of anxiety, and to build trust that folks can have more power over their feelings than their feelings have over them.

Justin Mulder
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety can make everyday situations feel far more stressful than they look from the outside. Things like meeting new people, speaking up in a group, dating, or even simple conversations can bring up a lot of worry about being judged, saying the wrong thing, or not fitting in. Over time, it’s easy to start avoiding situations that once felt manageable, which can lead to feeling more isolated or stuck. In therapy, we take a gentle and practical approach to understanding where those fears come from and how they show up for you. Together, we work on building confidence, easing the pressure you put on yourself, and finding ways to engage socially that feel more natural and less overwhelming.
