A big part of my focus is on addressing shame or self-judgment around social anxiety as this is often one of the main drivers. I also like to used structured CBT approaches that address unhelpful thoughts, excessive self-focused attention, avoidance of social interactions and many others. Client's often find it helpful to gradually exposure exercises where they gradually move towards feared social situations in small increments and at their own pace. I have also started exploring virtual reality exposure therapy to help aid clients who are not ready for real life exposure yet.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
From an emotionally focused perspective, working with social anxiety involves exploring the emotional experiences underlying an individual's fear of social situations. Social anxiety may stem from attachment-related insecurities that leave us vulnerable to feelings of rejection or judgment. Taking an emotionally focused approach our goal is to identify and process these underlying emotions, which may include shame or fear of abandonment, that often fuel such anxiety. By creating a safe, empathic therapeutic environment, we will also work on becoming aware of any negative emotional cycles, like avoidance or self-criticism and work to heal these wounds and soften our defenses. As individuals connect more deeply with their core emotions and gain more clarity about their internal world it can lead to increased self-acceptance which enables individuals to face social situations with a sense of security, reduced anxiety and an improved ability to engage with others in an authentic way. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety can sometimes stop life in it's tracks. Feeling overwhelming fear and experiencing unhelpful thoughts when in a social setting can make interacting with others so challenging. The good news is that the social anxiety bully can be put in it's place. You can learn strategies that will enable you to control social anxiety and help you to flourish. Together, we will utilize CBT strategies (building an avoidance hierarchy, attempting steps on hierarchy, teaching about cognitive distortions, recognizing triggers, teaching relaxation and grounding techniques). I provide significant psychoeducation on proven clinical methods for managing social anxiety. All the aforementioned presented kindly with empathy for the difficulties experienced. I spend considerable time exploring the roots of anxiety (core beliefs, rules and assumptions, automatic thoughts and adverse childhood events which can result in anxiety symptoms). You will also learn about relaxation and mindfulness to help you live the life you deserve. Congratulations on taking the first step; I look forward to meeting you.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Social anxiety occurs for many different reasons and can have a massive impact on one's well-being. It can be so incredibly frustrating to feel so averse or worried about something that you feel or know you should not be anxious about! When working with clients who have social anxiety issues, I take a comprehensive approach in understanding why the social anxiety occurs so that we can solve the issue from the root up; Being anxious is not a state one needs to be in, and it does NOT have to control one's life or decisions.

Social Anxiety
Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Soulful Therapy holds space for client's to identify and address multiple internal parts or families within each person’s mental system. These different parts consist of wounded parts and painful emotions such as anger and shame, as well as parts that try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. When left unresolved, it can lead to these maladaptive parts overwhelming us with anxious thoughts.
These parts may be in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self, a concept that describes the confident, compassionate, whole person that is at the core of every individual. Together, we will focus on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the parts and the Self.

We all have feelings of worry from time to time. However if these thoughts and feelings are persistent and you find you have constant worries about social interactions, what people may be thinking about you, how others perceive you and self-doubt in social situations, you may be struggling with social anxiety. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool to help manage and mitigate symptoms of social anxiety by uncovering the root cause of your worries. By understanding your fears and triggers, you can better navigate anxiety provoking situations and move through them with more ease and confidence.
