Social Anxiety therapists in Victoria, British Columbia BC, Canada CA
Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Social and other anxieties can be very problematic, supporting a belief that a strategy to avoid or at least limit social connections is a good temporary solution. I have worked with client anxieties and fears that restrict their capacities to connect with others, and reinforce beliefs that there is something wrong with them. I see anxiety as a natural fear response that can escalate into the temporary solutions, like avoidance or isolation. This can, in turn, develop into a bigger problem. I work with clients in a process to understanding their origins of these patterns and defences. Once they trust that I understand, then I support them to address the issues that burdened or harmed them and regain their Self as more calm; confident; and courageous with connecting with others.

Chaowen Yuan
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Counsellor, BA, MSEd, RCC
Therapy with my practice offers individuals a safe place to express their deepest thoughts and emotions with caring and highly trained professionals who are committed to their well-being. My clients come to me to share challenges they may be facing in the present, worries about their future, and/or unresolved past hurts --- with the goals of healing, developing effective tools for personal growth, gaining insight and direction, improving their relationships, and/or improving their over all sense of well being and quality of life. While therapy cannot directly change your external world, it will work to transform the internal world of your mind --- allowing you to live a truly rich and meaningful life. Social anxiety can feel crippling, but I can equip you with highly effective skills to overcome and live a life that is not dictated by fear.
