Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people experience everyday social situations as draining rather than energizing, which affects everything from workplace dynamics to personal relationships. I help clients understand their social energy patterns and develop strategies that honor their natural temperament while building confidence. We focus on distinguishing between realistic social concerns and anxiety-driven thoughts, creating sustainable approaches to social connection.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety often involves fear of judgment, overthinking interactions, and difficulty feeling at ease around others. I work with individuals to understand the underlying patterns driving these experiences, rather than only trying to reduce symptoms. Therapy focuses on building confidence, increasing tolerance for discomfort, and developing a more stable sense of self in social situations.

Hattie Bluestone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Living with social anxiety can feel exhausting and lonely. You may find yourself replaying conversations, worrying about how others perceive you, or avoiding situations that feel overwhelming—even when you long for connection. Often, social anxiety is about more than discomfort in social situations; it can be connected to deeper feelings of self-doubt, fear of rejection, or beliefs about who you need to be in order to be accepted. In therapy, we can explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion, helping you better understand the fears and protective patterns that keep anxiety in place. As this understanding grows, many people find themselves feeling more confident, authentic, and at ease in their relationships. Healing is possible, and you don't have to navigate it alone.

Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Social anxiety may include irrational fears and embarrassment and humiliation due to a lack of self confidence and lack of self worth in one's self, society and one's environment. The individual's work is in the increasing of self confidence and being less aware of the other's judgement or misjustice or evaluation of another.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Social anxiety often stems from deeper fears of judgment, rejection, or not being “enough.” These fears can lead to avoidance, overthinking, and intense self-monitoring in social situations. In therapy we work with both the psychological and nervous system patterns behind social anxiety, helping your body feel safer in connection so you can move through relationships with greater confidence and ease.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety, including social anxiety, is an adaptive response to stress. Without it, much wouldn't get done. However sometimes anxiety does it's job too well or works too hard, making it hard to complete tasks requiring social interaction. I utilize parts work to help people get to know this part of themselves, learn how it's trying to help you, and meet needs it may have in a more adaptive way.

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.
