Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Charles R. Davenport specializes in treating social anxiety, a condition characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Davenport uses evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety can significantly impact daily life, making it difficult to interact with others, attend social gatherings, or perform in public. Dr. Davenport employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to their anxiety. He also incorporates exposure therapy, a CBT method that gradually exposes clients to feared social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Davenport integrates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. His holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Davenport provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. He also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Davenport is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.

Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Through specialized virtual assessments, I help individuals understand how social anxiety impacts their cognitive functioning, daily performance, and overall quality of life, providing comprehensive evaluations from the privacy and comfort of home. My approach to social anxiety assessment goes beyond symptom identification, examining how anxiety affects attention, memory, decision-making, and executive functioning—crucial insights for developing effective treatment strategies. With extensive experience evaluating the intersection of anxiety and cognitive performance, I provide detailed assessments that differentiate social anxiety from other conditions, identify specific triggers and patterns, and offer evidence-based recommendations for therapy, accommodations, and coping strategies tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

Social Anxiety
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.

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.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals struggling with social anxiety, fear of judgment, and difficulty feeling comfortable or confident in social and professional settings. With extensive clinical experience treating anxiety across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping reduce reactivity and increase a sense of calm and control. Together, we build confidence, strengthen communication, and learn how to become more comfortable with the inherent lack of control in social environments, supporting more authentic and relaxed engagement.

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
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.
