Social Anxiety
Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Please also see the description under 'anxiety or fears'. Social anxiety can hamper the trajectory of life- not meeting people you could have met, not having friends that could have been there for you, and reinforcing anxiety in all its forms while increasing isolation. It is tied to self-judgment, fear of embarrassment, endless 'playbacks' of conversations in the mind, and memories of other situations. But like anxiety in general, it is something that can be overcome. Sometimes we find that what we think of as scary to the point of being unapproachable is much more tame and harmless than we expected, once we get a closer look at the thing we fear.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Social anxiety can range from barely noticeable to debilitating. If you have more social anxiety than you would like, I have many ways to address it. By identifying your personal experience of anxiety, we can work together to help reduce it using a combination of techniques that are appropriate for you. This may include mental strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Systematic Desensitization, or physical strategies such as breathing techniques or other relaxation techniques.
