Social Anxiety
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You might appear confident and capable to others—but inside, social situations feel exhausting, overwhelming, or filled with second-guessing. Whether it’s speaking in groups, initiating friendships, navigating dating, or networking, social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel high-stakes. You may replay conversations in your head, fear saying the wrong thing, or feel pressure to present yourself in ways that aren’t sustainable. And while avoidance might bring temporary relief, it often reinforces the shame and isolation underneath.
For neurodivergent folks—including those with ADHD or autism—social anxiety can come with an added layer of complexity. You might feel like you’re constantly monitoring your tone, facial expressions, or body language just to meet unspoken expectations. Masking can become second nature—and incredibly draining. Even when things go “fine,” you might leave social interactions feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or unsure of how you were received.
I work frequently with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults navigating the intense internal pressure to show up flawlessly in social, academic, or professional spaces—always “on,” even when it’s exhausting. In our work together, we’ll also explore how social expectations intersect with aspects of your identity—and how these pressures have shaped your sense of self and belonging.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients understand the roots of their social anxiety and develop tools to connect with others in ways that feel more authentic and sustainable. We’ll build insight, strengthen your self-trust, and practice new ways of showing up that support the kind of connection you actually want. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a compassionate space where you don’t have to perform, translate, or push through. If you're ready to unmask, exhale, and feel more at ease in your relationships, your work, and yourself—I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Social anxiety can be painful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. I understand why this is one of people's top fears. Talking in therapy about the worries you have and learning new ways to practice social skills as well as learning more accurate self talk and self appraisal can increase confidence and improve your social life.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals understand social anxiety and loosen its grip, easing distress while making room for genuine connection. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we study what is happening at and beneath the surface—anticipatory fear, self-monitoring, and the meanings carried from past experience—and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less avoidance and second-guessing, more ease, choice, and confidence in relating to others.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and confident in social situations, but instead you are afraid you will look stupid, embarrass yourself, or be rejected. It has been hard for you to manage this level of social anxiety on your own. Each day it becomes more difficult to focus on anything other than those worst-case scenarios that your mind so quickly creates. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from social anxiety. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Social Anxiety
Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for anxiety disorders, including social anxiety. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue letting anxiety rule their choices, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. Social anxiety is isolating and painful. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for social anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary anxiety and OCD, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. You don't have to keep suffering this way.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
Many introverts tend to isolate themselves, and this was exacerbated by the pandemic. Finding the cause of this condition can be helpful in building confidence, and decreasing self-consciousness. The free, regular zoom seminars are helpful, and after a period of time people become more confident in revealing themselves. Please feel free to call for more information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Are you overanalyzing every interaction, avoiding social situations, or unable to enjoy social situations because your mind is telling you how awkward you are? Do you feel judged by others who don't understand? Social anxiety can truly be overwhelming. I provide a warm and collaborative therapy where we work on reducing self-criticism, building confidence, and helping you develop practical skills to be able to do the things you want to do and the things you need to do. With the right treatment, social anxiety can be kicked out of the driver's seat, so you are free to guide your life in the directions you most want to go.

Social Anxiety
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.
