Social Anxiety
Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so you don't feel rejected or stupid? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming. You may worry about being judged, say little out of fear, or avoid situations altogether. Therapy can help you understand what fuels this anxiety and develop tools to feel calmer and more confident around others. Using a blend of mindfulness and trauma-informed techniques, we’ll work to reduce fear responses, increase emotional regulation, and build genuine self-assurance in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgement, self-consciousness, difficulty speaking up, or a tendency to withdraw in social situations. Social anxiety often develops as a way of managing risk in relationships and can shape how people anticipate, interpret, and respond to others.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what they may be protecting. Rather than focusing on exposure or performance, sessions centre on understanding the internal responses that arise in social situations. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Barry Herbach

Do you constantly second-guess how you come across? Avoid social situations, even with people you care about? Social anxiety isn’t just shyness — it can hijack your confidence and isolate you. I use EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to help you reduce the fear, shift the self-talk, and show up as yourself — without the panic. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through connection anymore.

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?

Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Please also see the description under 'anxiety or fears'. Social anxiety can hamper the trajectory of life- not meeting people you could have met, not having friends that could have been there for you, and reinforcing anxiety in all its forms while increasing isolation. It is tied to self-judgment, fear of embarrassment, endless 'playbacks' of conversations in the mind, and memories of other situations. But like anxiety in general, it is something that can be overcome. Sometimes we find that what we think of as scary to the point of being unapproachable is much more tame and harmless than we expected, once we get a closer look at the thing we fear.

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.

Dr. Sam Macy
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety can limit us personally and professionally, making life smaller and less-realized. I use an integrative therapeutic approach to help people feel more confident in social interactions, and more willing to take "good risks" towards a more expanded and empowered life.
