Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I hope you can take a moment to celebrate your success in reaching out to start a new relationship. In working with social anxiety, we'll consider the exceptions in your life—the times when you have connected with strangers, when you’ve entered into a new social environment, when you’ve stayed longer at a social event. We’ll bring curiosity to what made those experiences exceptional for you. We’ll then bring those differences, as well as, newly learned skills into corrective experiences in the therapy room and the least risky environments for you outside of therapy. We will likely use EMDR and somatic therapy approaches to work through the engrained difficult messages and bodily experiences of social anxiety from your past to increase your confidence in your capacity for present and future social connections.

Shayda Ewalt

Social anxiety often develops from experiences of rejection, criticism, or feeling unsafe in relationships. It was not simply "shyness" but a protective response rooted in fear of judgment or harm. Therapy helps you understand the origins of these fears while building internal safety and confidence in relational spaces.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, overwhelming, or even paralyzing. Whether it’s fear of judgment, discomfort in groups, or avoidance of social situations, these patterns often stem from past experiences, attachment wounds, or self-critical beliefs. In therapy, we provide a safe, supportive space to explore these fears, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical coping skills. With Christ-centered guidance, clients learn to build confidence, deepen connection with others, and engage in life with greater ease, courage, and emotional freedom.

Social Anxiety and Social Anorexia cases have had documented increase with lower practice of intimacy in our current culture. In addition, social isolation registers in the same part of the brain that processes pain and we are biological beings that need social engagement for health and stasis. CPTSD and intensive health needs can contribute to a sense of growing isolation or challenges with over stimulation, limiting social interactions. There could be grief due to that or ease if it aligns with a neurobiology that doesn't prefer social interactions in person. There are many creative ways to connect these days. Utilizing Havening, Brainspotting, Polyvagal Theory, Safe and Sound Protocol, IFS, Attachment Theory, and optionally Energy Work to address adrenal fatigue, clients may stretching into experiences of more social engagement and working through trauma or anxiety along the way. This work combines a sensitive understanding of social systems and the pressures that come with adapting to them. Additionally, clients can gain safe practice with communication utilizing NVC and other communication and relationship models.

If you have social anxiety, it is because being social is important to you. Negative thoughts and feelings can take us off course from the direction we want our lives to go in. My acceptance and commitment therapy approach can support you in identifying your core values around being social. These then act as a compass, a guiding force to give you the motivation to tolerate the discomfort of moving towards things that are important to us.
