This may lead to avoidant behaviours, negative thoughts and self talk and low confidence to try new things.

Nave Nijjar, Hear to Heal Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Do you always worry about doing something you think is embarrassing, such as blushing, sweating or appearing incompetent? Social anxiety is more than shyness. It's a fear that does not go away and affects everyday activities, self confidence, relationships and work or school life. Many people occasionally worry about social situations, but someone with social anxiety feels overly worried before, during and after them. It's a common problem that usually starts during the teenage years. It can be very distressing and have a big impact on your life.

Bridget McCann
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Feeling overwhelmed in conversations, re-playing what you said in your mind after an interaction, or assuming people perceive you in a certain regard; these are some of the ways that social anxiety can show up in our lives. I have experience helping clients navigate social anxiety through identifying triggers, focusing on what is in your control, and essentially freeing yourself from the pressures you place on yourself. We can work together to create a plan to set you up for success and to instil self-confidence.

Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
The first thing you should know is I am very friendly and approachable and that I am willing to meet you wherever you are at in your journey towards trying to address social anxiety. 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.

Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
Social anxiety can be debilitating as it often is the very opposite of what one is striving for: connection with others. In my practice, we look at the specifics of what may be bringing someone distress in social situations, what these social situations may be and I help provide tools for being able to rebuild courage and resilience to face these day-to-day stressors.

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.

Samantha Cervino

This is social anxiety: When having to perform in front of or be around others, people with social anxiety disorder tend to Blush, sweat, tremble, feel a rapid heart rate, or feel their “mind going blank” Feel nauseous or sick to their stomach. Show a rigid body posture, make little eye contact, or speak with an overly soft voice. Growing up I had social anxiety and I can understand how it feels as well as I know how to overcome it because I did that for myself. Do not allow social anxiety to stop your growth and crush your self-confidence. I can help you!
