Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you struggle taking the first steps to get closer to others and feel detached?
Do you experience tension or conflict when you get closer to your acquaintances?
Do you feel anxious in social situations and shy away from closer connections?
Do you long for more enjoyment and fun in your social experience?
While we desire relationships and connections with others outside of our immediate families, we may experience difficulty establishing and maintaining these relationships .
If you are someone who…
looks for closer connections
wishes there was more care and less conflict with your friends
get anxious when talking to strangers or in social gatherings
… then I may be able to help. I can assist you in improving your communication and interpersonal skills to bring you closer to others. While conflict can surface in every human interaction, if it is handled skillfully with warmth and respect, there is a great chance to develop closer and more meaningful relationships.
I have experience helping people manage relationship conflicts, attachment difficulties and social anxiety. Please contact me if you are interested in exploring these services.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so that person doesn't reject you or think you're an idiot? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how!

Social Anxiety
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Treating social anxiety requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of the condition. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, I collaborate with clients to challenge negative thought patterns, reduce avoidance behaviors, and gradually confront feared social situations. Through structured exercises and role-playing, clients learn to reframe anxious thoughts, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in their social interactions.
