Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt your heart race—wondering what people are thinking about you, or wishing you could disappear before anyone notices? Social anxiety can make even simple moments—talking in class, attending church, meeting new people—feel like survival. Over time, the worry turns into withdrawal, and loneliness begins to take root.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand how exhausting it is to overthink every word and every glance. Our Christian counselors help you quiet the noise of self-criticism, retrain your body’s stress response, and build confidence that lasts beyond the next conversation.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use faith-integrated, evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic grounding, and exposure techniques—combined with biblical truth and compassionate guidance to help you:
• Calm the physical symptoms of anxiety in social settings
• Overcome fear of judgment and rejection
• Strengthen communication and self-expression
• Build authentic connections and trust
• Restore peace through a renewed sense of identity in Christ
You don’t have to live trapped inside your own thoughts. With practical tools, gentle exposure, and spiritual grounding, you can learn to walk into any room with calm confidence—rooted not in others’ approval, but in God’s love for you.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living freely, Rising Calm Center is here to help you find your voice and your peace again.

Social Anxiety
Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition that can make it hard for individuals to fully participate in social situations. As a therapist, I understand the impact that social anxiety can have on one's life and I specialize in helping individuals manage symptoms of social anxiety to foster well-being through the use of evidence-based therapies such as prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Together, we will work to identify the triggers of your anxiety and develop effective strategies to manage them. We will explore the underlying causes of your social anxiety and use cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back. And, using prolonged exposure therapy, we will work to desensitize you to the feared situations, ultimately leading to a reduction of symptoms.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your social anxiety and to help you build a brighter, more fulfilling future for yourself. I will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to work through your struggles and find solutions that work for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards a better tomorrow.

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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgement, self-consciousness, difficulty speaking up, or a tendency to withdraw in social situations. Social anxiety often develops as a way of managing risk in relationships and can shape how people anticipate, interpret, and respond to others.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what they may be protecting. Rather than focusing on exposure or performance, sessions centre on understanding the internal responses that arise in social situations. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Social Anxiety
Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, intimidating, or even overwhelming. You might worry about being judged, embarrassed, or saying the “wrong” thing, leading you to avoid social situations, overthink conversations, or feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt. Over time, this can impact relationships, work, and your ability to feel confident and at ease around others. As a clinical psychologist, specializing in trauma, mood disorders and addiction, I help individuals understand and overcome social anxiety in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Together, we explore the underlying patterns that maintain anxiety, such as attachment anxiety, negative core beliefs about the self, fear of evaluation, and avoidance, and work toward building confidence and flexibility in social situations. My approach is integrative, utilizing evidence-based treatments, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and exposure therapy, while also incorporating depth oriented strategies to address root causes. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, helping you develop practical skills incrementally to navigate social interactions with greater ease and authenticity. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more comfortable being yourself, engage more fully in relationships, and approach social situations with increased confidence rather than fear.

Social Anxiety
Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Did you grow up feeling judged, criticized, or not good enough? If so, this may have led to social anxiety and often worrying that others are negatively evaluating you. Have you shaped yourself to try to be "palatable" for other people as if you are constantly wearing a mask pretending to be a version of yourself others might like? Often, having social anxiety can lead to people pleasing and having poor boundaries in order to appear more likable. However, these patterns can be exhausting and leave you feeling like a shell of who you really are. I can support you to be more authentic and to slowly work through patterns that no longer serve you so you can feel more at peace with who you truly are.
