Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
With social anxiety we will work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions as well as positive self talk, behavioral activation, probability estimation, pros and cons of being social, social skills & social cues, and behavioral activation (taking action). Often times we make something seem scarier in our own mind than it actually is. With anxiety one of the best ways to overcome it is simply to engage in the activity that scares you. I will help you to stop your negative thinking, to learn relaxation techniques and coping skills and then encourage you to face your fears and gain practice in social situations.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with thoughtful, high‑achieving adults, often sensitive or highly self‑aware, who struggle with social anxiety. You may care deeply about connection but find that being around others brings up a lot of worry, overthinking, or dread. On the outside, you may seem capable and composed; inside, it can feel like a constant evaluation of how you are coming across. Social anxiety can feel like living in your head while your body is in the room. I work extensively with social anxiety in high‑responsibility adults and know how consuming it can feel, even when no one else sees it.
It can look like replaying conversations and worrying you said the wrong thing; avoiding gatherings, calls, or new situations because they feel too intense; fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen as awkward or boring; difficulty speaking up in groups, at work, or in class; feeling like you do not quite know the rules that other people seem to follow; or wanting close relationships but pulling back when things get more vulnerable. Over time, this can lead to isolation, loneliness, or feeling stuck in patterns you do not want.
In our work together, we get curious about where this started and how it shows up now. We make room for the part of you that is trying to keep you safe by staying small or hidden. From there, we explore small, doable steps toward more ease and authenticity with the people and situations that matter most to you, so you do not have to choose between protecting yourself and having the connections you want.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is very common and very painful. Even though social anxiety is a common condition, each of us feels it in our own way. I have learned that social anxiety can best be treated with a combination of individual therapy and group therapy. At the beginning of individual therapy people are often reluctant to join a group. But even if you never choose to engage in group therapy, individual therapy can help. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with social anxiety.

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful or exhausting, often leading to avoidance, self-doubt, or fear of judgment. I provide integrative psychiatric care that looks at both emotional and physical contributors to social anxiety, including nervous system sensitivity, sleep, and overall health. Visits focus on understanding how social anxiety shows up for you, offering guidance and medication support when appropriate, with the goal of helping you feel more comfortable, confident, and at ease in social settings.

CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Social anxiety is more than being shy. It's the rehearsing, the replaying, the avoiding, the exhausting mental commentary that kicks in anytime other people are involved. At The CBT Center, we specialize in evidence-based treatment for social anxiety, including CBT and exposure therapy. We help patients actually do the things they've been avoiding and find out that the outcome is usually way less catastrophic than their brain predicted. You don't have to keep shrinking to feel safe.

Sherry Murray
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Being around others should be fun, but if you find it exhausting, taxing, devastating, then there is help for your social anxiety. Fortunately I offer online counseling, making those first steps easier to manage. No going out in public to get help for not wanting to go out in public.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their social anxiety. I help them subsequently identify what is in their control as they anticipate being in those settings in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their fears associated with their anxiety in those settings.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You overthink everything you say. You replay conversations long after they’re over, second-guessing how you came across. Maybe you dread group settings, avoid situations where you might be put on the spot, or mask your discomfort so well that no one would ever know how anxious you feel inside. Social anxiety doesn’t always look like panic—it can look like perfectionism, avoidance, or exhaustion from constantly managing how you’re perceived.
Dr. Jenny Shields helps people who are quietly carrying social anxiety beneath the surface—especially those who seem calm and capable on the outside but feel anything but on the inside. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-based work, she helps you gently face the fears that are running the show, learn new ways to respond, and build confidence from the inside out. Her approach is warm, respectful, and deeply attuned to the sensitivity that often comes with social anxiety. Together, you’ll work to ease the self-doubt, drop the need to perform, and reclaim your voice—not by becoming someone else, but by learning to show up as yourself.

Coalesce Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Often times, social anxiety is a result of a weak sense of identity. If we don't know ourselves, we can't accept ourselves, and that leaves us to wonder if we're acceptable at all. Together, we can engage in a process of self-discover and generate the awareness and insight needed to feel secure in ourselves and in relationships.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
For professionals in high-stakes environments, social anxiety often feels like a direct conflict with your professional identity. When you are trained to be assertive and decisive in a crisis, it can be frustrating and isolating to find yourself overthinking social interactions or feeling "on display" in civilian settings. Having served in the National Guard and worked in the Emergency Department, I understand the unique exhaustion of moving from a high-intensity professional role to a social one where the rules of engagement feel completely different. My approach is direct and skill-based, focusing on the underlying hyper-vigilance that keeps you scanning for judgment or mistakes. We will work together to quiet the "high-functioning" internal critic and build the confidence you need to be as comfortable in your personal life as you are in your professional one.

Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is not just about being shy. It often develops after experiences where being seen, judged, or rejected felt unsafe. Over time, avoiding people can start to feel like the safest option. The problem is it also keeps you stuck. In therapy, we work to understand where that fear came from and help you re-engage socially without feeling like you’re constantly under pressure.
