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.

Ms. Clare Pentelow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Dealing with social anxiety is stressful and upsetting. I provide a warm, compassionate approach when supporting clients dealing with social anxiety. I work to gain a deep understanding of their past, present and their personality, and utilize a combination of different therapeutic techniques to support individuals in better understating the root causes of their social anxiety, and challenging the negative thoughts that are at the core of the anxiety.

Social Anxiety
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.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
Social anxiety can make everyday situations feel overwhelming—whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, meeting new people, or even spending time with friends. You may find yourself worrying about being judged, replaying conversations in your head, or avoiding social situations altogether. In therapy, I provide a safe and understanding space to explore where these fears come from, gently challenge negative thought patterns, and build tools to help you feel calmer and more confident. Together, we’ll work toward easing the anxiety and creating more freedom and comfort in your connections with others.
