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.

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.

Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, I understand that social anxiety is far more than just "shyness"—it is a paralyzing, exhausting fear of judgment that can completely shrink your or your child's world. Drawing on over 20 years of clinical experience specializing in youth and family systems, I provide a gentle, evidence-based space to help individuals manage racing thoughts, overcome social avoidance, and build genuine confidence in their relationships.
Social anxiety often presents as severe school refusal, selective mutism, difficulty making friends, or intense panic before social gatherings. For children and teenagers, these fears can be deeply intertwined with ADHD or neurodivergent masking. In our sessions, I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills with creative play and art therapy. This multi-modal approach allows younger clients to safely externalize their fears, practice gentle social exposures, and regulate physical anxiety symptoms like a racing heart or stomach aches without feeling overwhelmed.
For adults, social anxiety frequently manifests as chronic workplace stress, performance anxiety, or profound social fatigue. We work collaboratively to deconstruct negative thought patterns, build assertive communication tools, and establish healthy boundaries so you can navigate life's transitions with confidence. Your family does not have to live in isolation—contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation.

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.
