Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Social Anxiety
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.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.

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.
