Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Social anxiety is a condition characterized by excessive fear and self-consciousness in social situations. It can often lead to avoidance of social situations altogether, which further reinforces feelings of isolation and low self-esteem. Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition if not addressed and treated. However, with the right guidance and support, it is possible to overcome social anxiety and live a fulfilling life with healthy social interactions.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety disorder is a common form of anxiety disorder. Individuals with social anxiety disorder experience symptoms of anxiety or fear in situations where they may face scrutiny, evaluation, or judgment from others. Everyday activities such as eating or drinking in front of others or using public restrooms can also trigger anxiety or fear due to concerns about potential humiliation, judgment, or rejection. I use CBT to introduce alternative thinking patterns, behaviors, and responses to situations in order to alleviate anxiety and fear. It also emphasizes the acquisition and practice of social skills, a crucial aspect of treating social anxiety disorder. Through CBT, you can develop strategies to feel more at ease in social interactions and enhance your overall social competence. Social anxiety does not need to limit your life, social connections, and opportunities. Let me help you break free from social anxiety and live the way you want to be living.

social anxiety is a challenge for so many people. I can help you explore the complex feelings around being with others. I will help you get comfortable to be in your own skin by first exploring how uncomfortable it really can be.

Did you know that shyness is actually NOT a character trait but a stress response of being around others? It has to do with a lack of self-esteem and self-acceptance often tied to a history of ECEs (early childhood experiences).

Without treatment, the symptoms of social may continue to interrupt your quality of life. However, treatment has been proven effective in supporting people with anxiety to get back to enjoying life. Here are some next steps to help you get started:
Relaxation strategies can help to decrease the physical symptoms of anxiety. The more you feel your heart racing and your breathing changing, the harder it is to calm yourself down. Try to breathe deeply.
Counselling with a mental health provider has been proven to be very effective in helping individuals overcome Anxiety issues. Not only can a trained counsellor help teach you the strategies needed to help stop the anxiety cycle, they can also help you use them correctly.
