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.

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
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.

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.

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.

Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I approach social anxiety through a relational and nervous system lens, recognizing that fear, self-consciousness, and avoidance often develop as protective responses to experiences of feeling unsafe, disconnected, or misunderstood. Therapy focuses on creating a space of relational safety where clients can better understand their responses, build confidence, and gradually develop a greater sense of comfort and connection in relationships and social situations.
