Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
If you get very stressed about social situations, either before or after, you'll be spending a lot of energy and brain power on all your internal self-talk around this. Sometimes that can make you act awkwardly or not be able to be as natural and confident as you'd like to be. We can work on changing your self-talk together so that you are better able to be more in the moment and can be freer and more accepting of yourself.

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.

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.

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.

Matthew Weisskopf
Psychologist, PhD
I can assist clients with addressing social anxiety with cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. This approach addresses thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that often underlie social anxiety. When these factors are shifted in a positive direction, this can have significant benefits for social anxiety.

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.

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.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I hope you can take a moment to celebrate your success in reaching out to start a new relationship. In working with social anxiety, we'll consider the exceptions in your life—the times when you have connected with strangers, when you’ve entered into a new social environment, when you’ve stayed longer at a social event. We’ll bring curiosity to what made those experiences exceptional for you. We’ll then bring those differences, as well as, newly learned skills into corrective experiences in the therapy room and the least risky environments for you outside of therapy. We will likely use EMDR and somatic therapy approaches to work through the engrained difficult messages and bodily experiences of social anxiety from your past to increase your confidence in your capacity for present and future social connections.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I run a group for young adult women who struggle with social anxiety. This group allows each member to learn about anxiety, to share what they struggle, to learn coping strategies, and to gain some support from other members. With the pandemic and quarantine, many clients have begun to struggle with social anxiety and I work with these clients to learn how to understand the anxiety they feel and how it impacts their daily life.

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.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Social anxiety is the body responding to social situations as if they were genuinely dangerous. It is not shyness and it is not a character flaw. It is a subconscious pattern, usually formed early, that learned to brace and self-monitor in the presence of other people. RTT works directly with the moment that pattern was formed and updates it. Once the threat signal quietens, social situations stop feeling like a performance and start feeling like, well, situations. I work with adults who have tried talking therapy and exposure work and want something that addresses the underlying wiring rather than just managing the surface symptoms.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with social anxiety, I take a thoughtful, body-centered approach to help you better understand how anxiety shows up and what it’s trying to communicate. Together, we track your internal experience and develop tools for self-regulation—supporting your nervous system in moments of activation. We also explore the deeper beliefs that may underlie your anxiety, including fears around judgment, worth, or belonging. Through a combination of somatic awareness, parts work, and cognitive tools like reality testing, we begin to shift how you relate to social situations and build more flexibility, confidence, and connection in your day-to-day life.

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.
