Social anxiety disorder (also known as Social Phobia) is a mental health condition. It is a type of anxiety disorder that causes extreme fear in social settings. It is an intense, persistent fear of being watched, judged and perhaps even humiliated by others. This fear can affect work, school, and your other day-to-day activities. It can even make it hard to make and keep friends. Hypnosis has proven to be an excellent method or complement to counteracting the negative effects of this disorder.

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.

Sarah Kaleem
Counsellor/Therapist, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Do you feel panicked every time you have to interact with others - a cashier at the grocery store or peers at school or work? Does your heart start racing or breathing get heavy when you have to make a phone call or someone is watching you do something? Do you always opt to cancel, change plans or avoid? Anxiety in social situations is more common than you think. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers a number of different tools to help you tackle your anxiety. You will pay attention to how your anxiety is connected to certain thoughts you may be having about the situation, as well as how your behaviours may not always be helpful. We will work towards starting to analyze these thoughts and open your perspective so that you don't find social interactions threatening anymore. CBT can teach you the tools so you can feel more confident in social situations.

Justin Mulder
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
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.
