Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety is one of my specialties and honestly one of my favorite things to work on with clients. Why? Because it's actually a mental health issue that responds really well to the right approaches. If you're willing to put in the work and practice what I teach you, you're going to see some pretty amazing progress. I've watched so many clients break free from social anxiety over the years, and these are the same techniques that helped me work through my own social fears. I also have tons of experience helping people get over their fear of public speaking, which usually goes hand in hand with social anxiety.

Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Fears relate to perceived risk of rejection and hurt. Anxiety is fear of felt but non-specific risks. Each involves the same areas of the brain. My treatment focuses on finding and resolving the core issues that trigger the fear and anxiety responses, except in response to realistic perceived threat.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety can quietly shrink your world — you avoid situations, over-rehearse interactions, replay conversations afterward for everything you said wrong, and feel a loneliness that comes from being around people but never quite feeling able to be yourself. This isn't shyness or introversion; it's your nervous system treating social situations as a threat. I work with social anxiety through a combination of nervous system regulation, EMDR, and somatic techniques that help your body learn to feel safer in connection — so you can start showing up more freely, and less managed.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Social anxiety is more than just being afraid to speak in public, for many people social anxiety is fear of being judged by other people in any social setting to the extent that they usually decline any social events. Treating social anxiety involves trying to find the source for the anxiety and the negative beliefs that have become part of the client's self beliefs so that we can desensitize, reframe, reprocess, and replace these negative beliefs with improved self-confidence. We will also use visualization exercises in which the client will imagine a social setting and being comfortable with who they are in social settings.
