Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make conversations and everyday interactions feel tense and exhausting. We will look at what you fear will happen and the habits that keep anxiety reinforced, like avoidance or overthinking. I help clients develop skills for managing anxiety in the moment and gradually feel more comfortable in social settings so connection becomes easier and less draining.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
The root of social anxiety tends to be our beliefs about what other people will think of us or whether they are safe with others. This is different than just introverted people. Social anxiety can affect a great many areas of your life but it is something that can be treated and open up your world.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with thoughtful, high‑achieving adults, often sensitive or highly self‑aware, who struggle with social anxiety. You may care deeply about connection but find that being around others brings up a lot of worry, overthinking, or dread. On the outside, you may seem capable and composed; inside, it can feel like a constant evaluation of how you are coming across. Social anxiety can feel like living in your head while your body is in the room. I work extensively with social anxiety in high‑responsibility adults and know how consuming it can feel, even when no one else sees it.
It can look like replaying conversations and worrying you said the wrong thing; avoiding gatherings, calls, or new situations because they feel too intense; fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen as awkward or boring; difficulty speaking up in groups, at work, or in class; feeling like you do not quite know the rules that other people seem to follow; or wanting close relationships but pulling back when things get more vulnerable. Over time, this can lead to isolation, loneliness, or feeling stuck in patterns you do not want.
In our work together, we get curious about where this started and how it shows up now. We make room for the part of you that is trying to keep you safe by staying small or hidden. From there, we explore small, doable steps toward more ease and authenticity with the people and situations that matter most to you, so you do not have to choose between protecting yourself and having the connections you want.

Social Anxiety
Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who experience social anxiety, fear of judgment, or discomfort in social or professional situations. Social anxiety often involves more than shyness; it can reflect deeper concerns about acceptance, belonging, or fear of exposure in relationships with others.
My work is grounded in the belief that anxiety develops within relational experience. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to explore how fears of evaluation or rejection have developed and how they continue to shape interactions with others. Through increased understanding, individuals often find greater freedom to engage socially in ways that feel more natural and less constrained by fear.
I also work with couples who wish to understand how social anxiety affects communication and relational connection.
