Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
By fostering acceptance of anxious thoughts and feelings without judgment, my clients can reduce avoidance behaviors and engage more fully in social situations. Additionally, I believe exploring unconscious patterns and past experiences helps uncover underlying causes of anxiety, promoting deeper self-understanding and lasting change.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Social anxiety often lives in the aftermath, replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing, and feeling embarrassed by moments that others have long forgotten, or maybe that they didn't even notice. I work with clients to understand where that inner critic is coming from and build a more compassionate, grounded relationship with themselves so that being around others feels a little less like a performance and a little more like connection.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety has a way of shutting everything down. We were made for connection and when we can't engage in a conversation, a relationship, or a social gathering the way we want to we often begin to isolate completely to avoid the tough feelings that arise when we feel we can't connect. In our work together I will help you overcome your anxious thoughts, feelings, and negative beliefs. Together we will explore where the anxiety comes from, why the anxiety exists and how to transcend the anxious feelings.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel emotionally exhausting, intimidating, or overwhelming. Many individuals struggling with social anxiety experience intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, difficulty speaking openly, avoidance of social situations, chronic overthinking, or persistent worries about being rejected, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated by others.
I provide therapy for individuals experiencing social anxiety with a focus on helping clients better understand the emotional and psychological patterns contributing to fear, avoidance, and self-criticism. Treatment involves developing healthier coping strategies, increasing emotional confidence, reducing avoidance behaviors, and building a greater sense of comfort, authenticity, and connection in relationships and social situations.

Roanne de Guia-Samuels
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CChT
Social anxiety is more than just being shy—it can feel like your body is constantly on alert, making you second-guess yourself, overthink conversations, or avoid situations that matter to you. My approach goes beyond building confidence by helping you understand what your nervous system is trying to protect you from. Using somatic therapy, and practical coping strategies, we'll work together to help your body feel safer so you can show up more fully in your relationships, work, and everyday life.

Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
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.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
For treating social anxiety, I use a collaborative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we'll identify and challenge the negative thought patterns that fuel your anxiety in social situations. By gradually exposing you to feared situations in a safe and structured way, we work to reduce the power of those fears. Over time, this process helps you build confidence, improve your social skills, and foster a greater sense of control in interactions. Ultimately, my goal is to help you engage more freely and comfortably with others, improving your social experiences and overall well-being.

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming—whether it's speaking up in meetings, attending social gatherings, meeting new people, or even making small talk. The fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected can lead to avoidance that limits your personal and professional life, leaving you feeling isolated and frustrated.
I specialize in helping clients overcome social anxiety using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the most effective evidence-based treatment for this condition. Together, we'll identify the anxious thoughts that fuel your fear—beliefs like "everyone will think I'm stupid" or "I'll embarrass myself"—and learn to challenge and reframe them with more realistic, balanced thinking. My goal is to help you engage more fully in life—to pursue opportunities, build meaningful connections, and feel comfortable being yourself in social situations. Social anxiety is highly treatable, and with the right tools and support, you can experience genuine freedom and confidence.
