Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leaving you self-conscious, worried, or stuck in avoidance. Our trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach helps you understand the roots of social anxiety, regulate emotional and bodily responses, and develop practical strategies for engaging with confidence. Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we explore relational patterns, self-criticism, and internalized fears that influence social interactions. Clients gain tools to manage anxiety in social settings, build self-compassion, understand attachment dynamics, and strengthen their ability to connect authentically. Sessions are available in-person in Toronto and virtually across Ontario, providing support wherever you are.

Rom Malik
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., R.P.
The experience of social anxiety can be a severe hindrance towards happiness, professional achievements, and having the best relationships. Social anxiety is rooted in early experiences. My approach is for us to first see what the social concerns are and then to explore early interactions which have had an impact on their development. We will then work towards dismantling them from the present down to the roots. Clients have experienced a sense of freedom from their constant worries of being judged and a significant improvement in self-confidence and self-expression.

Wajma Omer
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc. Psych., RP
Social anxiety has become a lot more common these days and can have an impact on one's personal and professional life. If you find yourself struggling to engage in social settings, feeling anxious or nervous in group settings at school, work, or amongst friends/family, and often fear negative outcomes and how others will judge you, then together we can work on better managing your fear based thoughts and feelings that can allow you to have a healthy balance.

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.

Nadia Yuen
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or worried about saying the “wrong” thing, you’re not alone. Social anxiety can feel exhausting and isolating. I offer a gentle, supportive space to explore what’s beneath the worry and help you build confidence, self-kindness, and more ease in the connections that matter to you.

Vaughan is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities and part of the Greater Toronto Area's northern expansion, with a large Italian-Canadian community alongside growing South Asian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern populations creating a diverse and evolving therapy demand. The city's relative newness as a major population center means its private therapy infrastructure is still developing, and many residents access care in Toronto or through telehealth. Mackenzie Health's Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital — one of Canada's newest major hospitals — provides institutional resources, and the broader GTA ecosystem of therapists is accessible for those willing to travel or use online platforms. Vaughan's affluent suburban character means therapy is financially accessible for many, though stigma barriers in some cultural communities remain a consideration.
