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.

Approach: CBT, emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness and gradual exposure-informed strategies.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety turns ordinary moments into performances: rehearsing sentences before you say them, replaying conversations for days, feeling watched and judged even among friends. The loneliness of wanting connection while fearing it is real, and it's more common than you know. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space to understand your anxiety without shame, quiet the inner critic that narrates every interaction, and gradually build confidence in being seen. The goal isn't to become someone else, it's to genuinely understand yourself, loosen fear's grip on your relationships, and let people meet the real you. Together we'll work toward feeling more at ease, more connected, and more equipped to show up in your life and relationships.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
No matter how much we might long for close relationships, social anxiety can still hold us back from putting ourselves out there and meet new people.
Through our work together, we will learn how to overcome this fear of being judged and perceived negatively, build confidence, and equip you with the communication skills you need to make and maintain the meaningful relationships you're looking for.
