Social Anxiety
Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Are you someone who avoids certain social situations or endures them with significant difficulty? You may fear rejection, criticism or judgment and avoid certain social situations to try to keep these feelings at bay. Unfortunately, this avoidance makes social anxiety worse over time. You may notice that you continue to lose self-confidence and a sense of worth the more that you avoid others. As a specialist in treating social anxiety, I understand how challenging it can be to face these fears. I have worked with many client so to help them build insight into what contributes to their social anxiety. Once we have a deeper understanding of how social anxiety impacts you and in what situations it arises, I can help teach you strategies to begin to gradually face feared situations and increase your self-confidence over time.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Social anxiety can feel overwhelming, impacting relationships, confidence, and the ability to participate in areas of life you care about. Symptoms may include self-doubt, reassurance seeking and rumination, feeling embarrassed, and avoiding social situations. I utilized evidence-based therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness methods to help clients face their fears and better manage discomfort in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety is not shyness. It is the experience of being watched by a judge who lives inside your own head — a judge who arrived long before you ever chose to listen to it. Every room becomes a performance. Every interaction is graded. The exhaustion is not from other people. It is from the constant labor of self-surveillance. Therapy works not by teaching you to ignore the judge but by understanding whose voice it actually is, and why it was installed in the first place.

Social Anxiety
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

Social Anxiety
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.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
It can take years for social anxiety to harshly limit a life. Or, it can take a traumatic moment and that life is forever changed. One of the best clients I can help is a client with social anxiety. It is very gratifying to see that same person whom could hardly sit in front of me develop into a person that can walk into a social event, by themselves and introduce themselves to others. I use a technique called "Exposure, response prevention.
