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.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, overwhelming, or emotionally exhausting. Whether you're worried about being judged, speaking up in groups, meeting new people, or feeling more confident in social or professional settings, therapy can help.
Drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, we'll work together to understand the patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to social anxiety. By gradually challenging unhelpful beliefs and developing practical coping strategies, you can build confidence, feel more at ease in social situations, and engage more fully in the relationships and experiences that matter most to you.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt your heart race—wondering what people are thinking about you, or wishing you could disappear before anyone notices? Social anxiety can make even simple moments—talking in class, attending church, meeting new people—feel like survival. Over time, the worry turns into withdrawal, and loneliness begins to take root.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand how exhausting it is to overthink every word and every glance. Our Christian counselors help you quiet the noise of self-criticism, retrain your body’s stress response, and build confidence that lasts beyond the next conversation.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use faith-integrated, evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic grounding, and exposure techniques—combined with biblical truth and compassionate guidance to help you:
• Calm the physical symptoms of anxiety in social settings
• Overcome fear of judgment and rejection
• Strengthen communication and self-expression
• Build authentic connections and trust
• Restore peace through a renewed sense of identity in Christ
You don’t have to live trapped inside your own thoughts. With practical tools, gentle exposure, and spiritual grounding, you can learn to walk into any room with calm confidence—rooted not in others’ approval, but in God’s love for you.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living freely, Rising Calm Center is here to help you find your voice and your peace again.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Anxiety is the fear of future pain. Social anxiety is the fear that others will judge us and that their judgments will result in rejection and that such will be painful. Let's work together to challenge and undo that painful process so you can be freer with others and connect more with them.

Aguib Diop
Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
While most of us place some value on our personal and professional reputations, what happens when we're in constant fear of these reputations being tarnished or attacked? For those with social anxiety disorders, the result is the avoidance of people, experiences and opportunities that could result in life’s enjoyment. If you have a social anxiety disorder, our shared goal will be to gradually confront these avoided situations. After experiencing each situation, your original thoughts will be reframed to match this experience rather than the feared worst-case scenario. You’ll also apply coping strategies that help you feel at ease while confronting situations. You may even learn to laugh at yourself, which is almost always a win.

Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions — networking, speaking up at work, even making a phone call — feel like high-stakes performances. If you find yourself rehearsing conversations, avoiding situations where you might be judged, or replaying interactions long after they're over, you're not alone. I use cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based strategies to help you understand what's driving the avoidance and gradually reclaim the parts of your life anxiety has taken over. We work at your pace, with concrete goals, so progress feels real — not theoretical. For many clients, social anxiety also disrupts sleep, and I'm uniquely positioned to address both.

Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Anxiety isn’t just “worry.” It’s the mind working overtime to protect you — often in ways that leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Social anxiety, in particular, can make even simple interactions feel loaded with risk, self-doubt, or shame. You might find yourself rehearsing conversations before they happen, overanalyzing them after, or avoiding them altogether.
In our work together, we look beneath the symptoms. Instead of just learning how to manage your anxiety, we explore what it’s trying to protect you from — and why it learned to speak so loudly. I help clients slow down their inner experience, tune into the body, and begin to relate to anxiety with curiosity rather than fear.
Together, we’ll build new internal pathways rooted in safety, self-compassion, and presence. You don’t have to be “fearless” to live a full, connected life. You just have to stop fighting yourself.
