Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
As a therapist, and someone who has experienced social anxiety myself, I know how much effort it can take to navigate it. During therapy, it can often be helpful to get to know the social anxiety to feel more in control of it. This can allow us to develop a unique toolkit, best suited to you, to move through the anxiety and live your most meaningful and authentic life. I am here to support you in creating and applying this toolkit. Connect with me today for a free consultation to begin your journey.

Social Anxiety
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.

Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel draining or unsafe. I work with clients to explore the underlying fears, manage physiological symptoms, and build social confidence. Using CBT and emotion-focused tools, we challenge critical self-beliefs and create new ways of relating to others with ease and authenticity.

Social Anxiety
Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or like you’re constantly overthinking everything you said (or didn’t say), you might be dealing with social anxiety. Maybe you avoid certain situations altogether, or you show up but feel tense, awkward, or like you're putting on a mask just to get through it.
Social anxiety can be exhausting, but it’s also something you can work through. In therapy, we’ll explore where that fear comes from, help you challenge the thoughts that are fueling it, and build confidence in how you show up around others, without having to overanalyze every moment.
You don’t have to hide, shrink, or pretend to be someone else to belong. You deserve to feel more at ease in your own skin, and in your connections with others.

Nadia Malik
Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety can be scary and isolating. It holds you back from living the full life you want. In our sessions together we will work on your fears of engaging with others, automatic thoughts that get in the way of forming relationships or speaking publicly, as well as how to manage social situations, calm internally, and build confidence. This can encourage you being able to show up, be yourself, and get more out of your life.
