Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LCAC, LPC, LPCC
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I offer a unique and compassionate approach to treating social anxiety through psychodynamic therapy. My practice is enriched with techniques from Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and experiential methods, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can deeply explore and address the root causes of their social anxiety.
Understanding that social anxiety can be debilitating and impact various aspects of life, my approach focuses on uncovering the unconscious processes that contribute to these feelings of fear and avoidance. By delving into these deeper layers, clients gain insight into the root causes of their social anxiety, whether stemming from past experiences, negative self-perceptions, or relational dynamics. This comprehensive understanding allows for more effective and lasting healing.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to genuine therapeutic connection and present-moment awareness. I emphasize the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Through this connection, we work together to develop healthy coping mechanisms, improve social skills, and build a stronger sense of self.
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I tailor each treatment plan to the individual needs of my clients, ensuring they receive the most relevant and effective care. By integrating psychodynamic principles with experiential techniques, I help clients transform their struggles with social anxiety into opportunities for personal growth and resilience.
You will find a dedicated partner in your journey toward overcoming social anxiety. Together, we will work to alleviate your symptoms, empower you with the tools and insights needed for lasting emotional well-being, and guide you toward a future filled with confidence and fulfilling social interactions.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social Anxiety can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure. This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for social anxiety available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create social and emotional distress while simultaneously resist acting on urges to avoiding such interactions. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming urges to avoid them. People with social anxiety are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

Aguib Diop
Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
While most of us place some value on our personal and professional reputations, what happens when we're in constant fear of these reputations being tarnished or attacked? For those with social anxiety disorders, the result is the avoidance of people, experiences and opportunities that could result in life’s enjoyment. If you have a social anxiety disorder, our shared goal will be to gradually confront these avoided situations. After experiencing each situation, your original thoughts will be reframed to match this experience rather than the feared worst-case scenario. You’ll also apply coping strategies that help you feel at ease while confronting situations. You may even learn to laugh at yourself, which is almost always a win.
