For those who struggle with social anxiety, everyday interactions may feel overwhelming and bring fears of judgment, self-consciousness, or a tendency to withdraw. These responses are understandable and often rooted in a need for safety and belonging. Together, we explore the underlying patterns, build confidence, and develop ways of engaging with others that feel more comfortable and authentic.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing social anxiety by helping them understand the patterns of fear, self-consciousness, and avoidance that can make social situations feel overwhelming. Social anxiety often involves worries about judgment, embarrassment, or saying the wrong thing, which can lead to avoiding interactions or feeling stuck in your head during them. In therapy, we focus on gradually building confidence in social settings, reducing avoidance, and challenging unhelpful thoughts that contribute to anxiety. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based strategies to support you in developing more flexibility in how you respond to social fears while increasing comfort and confidence in connecting with others.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social Anxiety can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure. This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for social anxiety available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create social and emotional distress while simultaneously resist acting on urges to avoiding such interactions. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming urges to avoid them. People with social anxiety are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Social anxiety often shows up as a constant self-monitoring—replaying conversations, worrying about how you came across, or feeling tense before, during, and after social interactions. Many people assume this means they’re awkward or broken, when in reality it’s usually a nervous system that’s working overtime to stay safe. In therapy, we approach social anxiety with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from rather than forcing you to “just be more confident.”
My work with social anxiety focuses on easing the internal pressure rather than pushing you into uncomfortable situations before you’re ready. Together, we work on calming the body, softening self-judgment, and building trust in your ability to handle connection as it unfolds. Over time, social interactions begin to feel less like a performance and more like a shared experience—allowing you to show up as yourself with greater ease, presence, and self-acceptance

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
It's not shyness. It's the dread before social situations, the replaying of conversations afterward, the constant worry that you said something wrong or that people are judging you. You cancel plans because the relief of staying home outweighs the effort of showing up. Or you push through and spend the whole time managing the anxiety instead of actually being present. Social anxiety shrinks your world slowly, and the avoidance that feels like it's helping actually makes it worse over time. We can help you break that cycle with approaches that work, not just "put yourself out there" advice that ignores how hard that actually is. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.
