In our work together, we’ll take a gentle, supportive approach to help you befriend your anxiety rather than battle it. You’ll learn practical tools so that anxiety no longer takes the driver’s seat in your life. Instead of waiting for anxiety to disappear and putting your life on hold, we’ll focus on taking small, steady steps that allow you to re-engage with life and move toward what matters most to you.

Social Anxiety
Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, risky, or overanalyzed long after they are over. It may show up as fear of being judged, difficulty speaking up, avoiding certain people or situations, replaying conversations, or feeling tense in groups, dating, work, family, or community settings. In therapy, I help clients understand the thoughts, fears, and past experiences that may be keeping social anxiety in place. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life. Together, we work on building confidence, reducing overthinking, strengthening self-acceptance, and developing tools that help you show up more fully and comfortably in your relationships and daily life.

Social Anxiety
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.

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.

Social Anxiety
Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Anxiety isn’t just “worry.” It’s the mind working overtime to protect you — often in ways that leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Social anxiety, in particular, can make even simple interactions feel loaded with risk, self-doubt, or shame. You might find yourself rehearsing conversations before they happen, overanalyzing them after, or avoiding them altogether.
In our work together, we look beneath the symptoms. Instead of just learning how to manage your anxiety, we explore what it’s trying to protect you from — and why it learned to speak so loudly. I help clients slow down their inner experience, tune into the body, and begin to relate to anxiety with curiosity rather than fear.
Together, we’ll build new internal pathways rooted in safety, self-compassion, and presence. You don’t have to be “fearless” to live a full, connected life. You just have to stop fighting yourself.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
College can be an exciting time—but it can also bring intense pressure to fit in, make friends, and find your place. If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or worried about being judged, you’re not alone. Many students quietly struggle with these same feelings. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand your anxiety, build coping skills, and increase your confidence so you can feel more at ease connecting with others and fully engaging in college life.

Social Anxiety
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.
