Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming — whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, attending a social gathering, or just being yourself around others. You might worry constantly about being judged or saying the wrong thing, which can lead to avoidance and isolation. Therapy provides a supportive space to understand where this anxiety comes from, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build confidence in social situations. If you're ready to feel more at ease and connected, I’m here to help you get there.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in social anxiety, my approach to treatment is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and social skills training, I work collaboratively with individuals to address underlying fears and negative thought patterns related to social situations. By gradually exposing clients to feared social scenarios in a supportive environment, we work together to challenge avoidance behaviors and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety symptoms. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome social anxiety, build confidence in social interactions, and cultivate meaningful connections 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.

Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
I’m dubious about the term “social anxiety.” I don’t doubt for a second how paralyzing or distressing it is to be anxious in social situations, but diagnosing someone with social anxiety sometimes feels like an excuse for a quick fix: “Here’s a prescription!” That’s not my approach (although I get it if that’s where you are now).
Whether you’ve been diagnosed or not doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that you want to be more confident and comfortable around people. Because I can help you with that.
The tools I use – energy psychology, hypnosis and NLP (neurolinguistic programming), nutritional guidance, and voice dialogue (or “parts work”) – all have a part. As can figuring out if “social anxiety” is part of a bigger problem, such as chronic anxiety or perfectionism or a general distrust of people, or a seemingly unrelated bad experience that subconsciously affects you in social situations.
Human beings are social animals. Social connection is so important that a lack of it is a reliable predictor of early death. And technology now gives us so many ways to “connect” that it’s easy to stop connecting in meaningful ways.
If you’re tired of not being able to be yourself (or the person you want to be) in social situations, there’s a good chance I can help. Please get in touch.

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.
