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.

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.

Social Anxiety
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals who struggle with social anxiety, fear of judgment, or ongoing discomfort in social situations. This can include anxiety around conversations, dating, work interactions, public settings, or being seen and evaluated by others. Social anxiety often leads people to avoid situations they care about or to feel exhausted from constantly monitoring how they come across.
In therapy, we focus on understanding what drives this anxiety and how it affects your relationships and daily life. I help clients develop practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, reduce self consciousness, and feel more grounded during social interactions. We also work on building confidence and self trust so that social situations feel less overwhelming over time.
The goal is not to become someone you are not, but to help you show up more comfortably and authentically in relationships, work, and community. With support and practice, many clients find they are able to engage more fully and with less fear.

Social Anxiety
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.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn

Social anxiety or social phobia make living in the world a challenge. Fear of judgment and feeling embarrassed about possible inappropriate behavior or perceived failures to perform up to some standard make it difficult to function many social situations. Confidence can be regained.

Social Anxiety
Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Social Anxiety feels like a prison. It's too difficult to be your authentic self, and you feel lonely - but it's preferred over how it feels to be around other people. Informed by my own experience with social anxiety, what we will uncover is that social anxiety is a set of learned behaviors and social conditioning - which can be unlearned and unconditioned. If you're ready to stop being at war with your own nervous system - lets get to work!

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.
