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.

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.

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.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It is incredibly exhausting to walk into a room and instantly feel like everyone is judging you, or to spend hours overthinking a casual conversation after it’s already over. Social anxiety loves to make you feel isolated and keep you playing small to avoid embarrassment. We will work together to lower that intense internal pressure, quiet the fear of rejection, and build realistic comfort so you can show up in social or professional spaces without your nervous system going into overdrive.
