Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
This is a persistent, high level of fear for a social or performance event. Often individuals are around unfamiliar people and perceive themselves as being criticized by others. The individual fears that they will embarrass or humiliate themselves. This could occur at a party, a presentation at work, talking on the phone, making a speech, participating in a workshop, meeting the parents of your child’s friends, or even attending church. A very common version of this, particularly for children, is school phobia. Often school phobia is complicated by bullying, fears of the parents’ safety, or learning deficits.

Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.

I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to treating social anxiety that explores a client's history and experience with social situations as well as learning new skills for managing negative thoughts and worries about one's self that arise in response to social situations. We will also establish collaborative goals for improvement in social situations and I will support you in practicing and pursuing satisfying social connections.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MA
Social anxiety is a commonly occurring mental health issue, but one that many people and providers do not understand. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help you reshape thinking patterns and particular behaviors in order to create new adaptive experiences and new beliefs which reduce anxiety and increase connection.
