Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, but hypnosis offers a powerful way to find calm and confidence from within. Through hypnotherapy, we quiet the inner critic, ease anxious thoughts, and strengthen your sense of comfort and authenticity around others. Each session helps reprogram the subconscious mind to support self-trust and genuine connection. I offer virtual hypnosis sessions to help you feel more at ease, confident, and free to be yourself.

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!

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.

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.

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.
