Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
Social anxiety can show up in different ways: physical reactions when socializing, beliefs about not being liked, worries about how to interact with others, and tendencies of shutting down around others. EMDR and IFS can be helpful modalities to target these thoughts and symptoms by lowering distress and reframing core beliefs.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make the world feel smaller, often leading to avoidance of experiences that might otherwise bring meaning and connection. In our work together, we’ll take a gentle, supportive approach to help you befriend your anxiety rather than battle it. You’ll learn practical tools so that anxiety no longer takes the driver’s seat in your life. Instead of waiting for anxiety to disappear and putting your life on hold, we’ll focus on taking small, steady steps that allow you to re-engage with life and move toward what matters most to you.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, triggering self-doubt, overthinking, and a constant fear of judgment. At Root & Rise, we treat social anxiety by combining evidence-based methods with The Stark Contrast™—our signature blend of Creative Arts Therapy and cognitive-emotional processing developed by co-founder Julie Stark, LCSW. This approach helps clients move beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging both the analytical and expressive parts of the brain. Through guided creative exercises, emotional mapping, nervous-system awareness, and structured skill-building, clients learn to address the fears underneath their social anxiety while also practicing new ways of showing up confidently in real-world situations. The Stark Contrast™ helps you shift from avoidance and self-consciousness into clarity, connection, and self-trust—so social interactions feel less threatening and more authentically you.

Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The city is home to world-class mental health institutions including McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
