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.

North York, Ontario therapist: Lia Khalili, registered psychotherapist
Social Anxiety

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.

Whitby, Ontario therapist: Justin Mulder, registered psychotherapist
Social Anxiety

Justin Mulder

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
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.

Toronto, Ontario therapist: Miranda Elise Klimowski, registered psychotherapist
Social Anxiety

Miranda Elise Klimowski

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, and Counsellor RP(Q), C.R.P.O, C.C.P.A, M.A.C.P
Through a structured and compassionate approach, I help clients challenge anxious thought patterns, reduce avoidance behaviors, and gradually build confidence in social interactions. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), we work together to identify and reframe negative thoughts about social situations, build self-confidence and self-acceptance to reduce the fear of judgment, and develop relaxation and grounding techniques to manage anxiety in the moment. I also guide clients through gradual exposure exercises to increase comfort in social settings and enhance social skills and communication strategies to foster stronger connections with others. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can develop the tools they need to navigate social interactions with greater ease and confidence.

Pickering, Ontario therapist: Paighe Rojas, registered social worker
Social Anxiety

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.
