John Fry

Social anxiety can be alleviated by learning more powerful social skills, learning how to convincingly modify your sometimes self-defeating self-talk, and by learning to relax more effectively.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
So often shame and social anxiety are tied together. It has been said that "It is a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be found". I find this to be very true. We all desire closeness and intimacy, however, often when we experience conditional worth, shame based parenting and other traumas early in our lives, we can naturally develop a fear of people. Social anxiety is to be afraid of being ourselves for fear of rejection or some other shame/imperfection. Learning to love ourselves, heal from the shame, and reclaim our birthright of belonging is the work.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You may appear composed in social or professional settings, but inside, you’re second-guessing every interaction or avoiding connection altogether. Social anxiety in high-achieving individuals is often masked by success and control. I help clients move beyond self-doubt and fear of judgment—toward more ease, presence, and authentic confidence in both personal and professional relationships.

Social Anxiety
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.

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.

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.

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.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, yet alone trying to make sense of the world around them.
I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric illnesses affecting children and adults. Approximately, 40 million American adults suffer from anxiety disorders. Sadly, about one-third of those individuals suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment. Increase in public awareness is essential in informing the public that anxiety disorders are highly treatable.
If you experience anxiety that is persistent, seemingly uncontrollable, and overwhelming it may be indicative of an anxiety disorder. If it is an excessive, illogical fear of everyday situations, it can be disabling. When anxiety interferes with your daily activities, you may have an anxiety disorder.
Social anxiety may seem overwhelming and are stopping you from living your life in a manner that suits you, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Gratefully, many treatments and self-help strategies for social anxiety can help you significantly decrease your anxiety symptoms, manage anxiety attacks, and reclaim your life.
