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.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Exploring your social anxiety in therapy can help identify how anxiety is manifesting itself and work to minimize the disruptive patterns it provokes in your life. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
At the core of the social anxiety usually lies a trauma, which was caused by the “Other”. To understand this anxiety is to understand one’s history of interpersonal relationships. The anxiety should be acknowledged, understood, and dealt with in a profound and deep way that is only possible through a careful examination of one’s history of relationships. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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.
