Social Anxiety
Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in treating social anxiety, helping individuals overcome the fear of judgment and the avoidance patterns that often limit one’s social and professional life. My approach is rooted in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where we collaboratively work to challenge negative beliefs about yourself and others while using gradual, supported exposure to help you build real-world social confidence. Whether your anxiety centers on performance situations, meeting new people, or navigating everyday social interactions, I provide a compassionate, skills-based environment to help you learn to trust yourself, communicate assertively, and engage authentically in the life you want to lead.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Social anxiety can turn everyday interactions, meetings, and public speaking into exhausting sources of dread. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and gradual exposure frameworks, I help clients identify and challenge catastrophic thinking patterns and fears of negative evaluation. Our clinical work focuses on disrupting avoidance behaviors, lowering physiological hyperarousal, and building authentic communication confidence so you can engage in professional and social spaces on your own terms.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Social anxiety can make everyday things — meetings, church, dating, even Zoom — feel high stakes. I help you understand what your anxiety is protecting (usually belonging and safety) and then practice new ways of showing up that don’t flood your system. Using parts-informed, trauma-aware therapy plus skills for exposure and regulation, we work toward connection that doesn’t feel terrifying.

Social Anxiety
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Do you often feel intense dread about social situations, to the point that it can be challenging to meet or interact with others? If you do, you might benefit from meeting with a mental health professional. It is estimated that around 12.1% of Americans are diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, accounting for over 40 million adults. Social anxiety is more than shyness, and a fair amount of research indicates that therapy can be valuable in treating symptoms.
The nature of social anxiety can make it difficult to seek treatment, as talking with a therapist is a form of social interaction. However, various treatment forms are available; you do not have to partake in therapy in person. Learning more about how therapy benefits those with a social anxiety disorder diagnosis or those struggling with social interactions and fears can help you decide if treatment is right for you.

Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you struggle taking the first steps to get closer to others and feel detached?
Do you experience tension or conflict when you get closer to your acquaintances?
Do you feel anxious in social situations and shy away from closer connections?
Do you long for more enjoyment and fun in your social experience?
While we desire relationships and connections with others outside of our immediate families, we may experience difficulty establishing and maintaining these relationships .
If you are someone who…
looks for closer connections
wishes there was more care and less conflict with your friends
get anxious when talking to strangers or in social gatherings
… then I may be able to help. I can assist you in improving your communication and interpersonal skills to bring you closer to others. While conflict can surface in every human interaction, if it is handled skillfully with warmth and respect, there is a great chance to develop closer and more meaningful relationships.
I have experience helping people manage relationship conflicts, attachment difficulties and social anxiety. Please contact me if you are interested in exploring these services.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services to those who may self-identify as socially anxious. If you often feel stuck between wanting to feel seen and wanting to remain invisible, I'd love to help you explore and navigate relationships. Working with me on this concern will likely involve some education and skill-building, exposures or "risk-taking," and some humor to take the edge off. Clients often also have dating-related concerns or inexperience, which I welcome.

Social Anxiety
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Social anxiety is the body responding to social situations as if they were genuinely dangerous. It is not shyness and it is not a character flaw. It is a subconscious pattern, usually formed early, that learned to brace and self-monitor in the presence of other people. RTT works directly with the moment that pattern was formed and updates it. Once the threat signal quietens, social situations stop feeling like a performance and start feeling like, well, situations. I work with adults who have tried talking therapy and exposure work and want something that addresses the underlying wiring rather than just managing the surface symptoms.
