Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating social anxiety. My professional journey includes working in hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer in the U.S. Army, where I gained invaluable experience addressing diverse mental health concerns. Over the years, I have honed my skills in evidence-based therapies for social anxiety, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), through advanced training at leading military treatment facilities and esteemed private practices.
These experiences have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges posed by social anxiety and strengthened my dedication to providing compassionate, effective care. My mission is to help you overcome the limitations of social anxiety, build confidence, and lead a more connected and meaningful life. Together, we will create a personalized therapeutic plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification related to avoidance based fear/anxiety behaviors and habits. I have helped people effectively approach their fears and anxiety with the goal of improved functioning and quality of life.
The guidance that I'll provide you with helps build up the skills you need in your day-to-day life when making small and major decisions. I can help you achieve a better life balance. Learning when to pause and enjoy the moment, rather than stressing about what you did or didn’t do, or where you need to be or what you need to do next. People often have the tendency to let their past, patterns, or habits determine their present and future. I can help you find a way to roll with the waves of life in a more manageable way. There are unpredictable storms along the way, and I can provide the skills and tools for managing through the storms. I can help you find a new way to move forward in life rather than trying to anchor down in the storm. I can help you recognize that the tides tend to change, and you can find your way to calmer waters. I would love to help you find the right path forward for you on your journey.
I believe that nothing in life is truly just a mistake unless you learn nothing from it. Many of us learn things the best the hard way. These life lessons and experiences are where true wisdom can come from . I find that being straight forward with people in a kind, caring manner can lead to gains quicker. I don't judge people for choices made in the past, as our past helps us learn to grow and develop into what we hope to be. The potential for change is one of the greatest human abilities. When someone desires to change and decides to do it for themselves, then growth is always possible. Having a great therapist can be the missing key as to why change has been so hard in the past. Over my 15 years as a therapist, I learned that helping others be more intentional about life can be a game changer. If you are doubtful about your own change, I can be your confidence and I am always up for a challenge.

Social Anxiety
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in social anxiety, my approach to treatment is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and social skills training, I work collaboratively with individuals to address underlying fears and negative thought patterns related to social situations. By gradually exposing clients to feared social scenarios in a supportive environment, we work together to challenge avoidance behaviors and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety symptoms. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome social anxiety, build confidence in social interactions, and cultivate meaningful connections with others.

Social Anxiety
Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Social anxiety often involves more than shyness. It can include fear of judgment, self-consciousness, anticipatory worry, or feeling “on edge” in social or professional situations. Even when individuals understand that their fears may be exaggerated, the emotional response can feel automatic and difficult to control.
My approach to working with social anxiety is personalized and collaborative. Hypnosis helps address the subconscious patterns that influence how the mind and body respond in social settings. Rather than using scripted techniques, sessions are tailored to the individual’s goals and real-life situations, helping reduce anxiety, build confidence, and develop a greater sense of ease during interactions.
Clients commonly seek hypnosis for social anxiety related to public speaking, meetings, social gatherings, dating, or workplace interactions. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that allows clients to remain aware and in control while learning to respond more calmly and confidently.
This work is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, and I do not recommend changing prescribed medications without consulting a healthcare provider. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help clients feel more comfortable, present, and self-assured in social situations.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety is often less about being around people and more about being seen — and the terror of what they might find if they really look. At Simple Empathy we work with the part of you that monitors, edits and manages every interaction, and we get curious about what it's protecting you from. This isn't exposure therapy disguised as something deeper. It's actual depth work — looking at the story beneath the anxiety, the early experiences that taught you that being visible was dangerous, and building a self that can be seen without bracing for impact.

Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so you don't feel rejected or stupid? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how.

Social anxiety can be lessened with EMDR and cognitive behavioral techniques. Somatic yoga techniques can also help calm the mind and body, and help us become physically more aware of triggers and thoughts that hinder progress.

Social Anxiety
Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.
