Insight Psychological Group
Psychologist, Psy.D.s, LCSWs, LPCs, LCADCs...
Fear of judgement, fear of being awkward, fear of having nothing to say, fear of losing control... These are all ways people experience social anxiety. A good therapist can help a client first achieve insight into where these fears came from, but then put in place an action plan to build confidence and safely help oneself feel more comfortable in social settings.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You might appear confident and capable to others—but inside, social situations feel exhausting, overwhelming, or filled with second-guessing. Whether it’s speaking in groups, initiating friendships, navigating dating, or networking, social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel high-stakes. You may replay conversations in your head, fear saying the wrong thing, or feel pressure to present yourself in ways that aren’t sustainable. And while avoidance might bring temporary relief, it often reinforces the shame and isolation underneath.
For neurodivergent folks—including those with ADHD or autism—social anxiety can come with an added layer of complexity. You might feel like you’re constantly monitoring your tone, facial expressions, or body language just to meet unspoken expectations. Masking can become second nature—and incredibly draining. Even when things go “fine,” you might leave social interactions feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or unsure of how you were received.
I work frequently with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults navigating the intense internal pressure to show up flawlessly in social, academic, or professional spaces—always “on,” even when it’s exhausting. In our work together, we’ll also explore how social expectations intersect with aspects of your identity—and how these pressures have shaped your sense of self and belonging.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients understand the roots of their social anxiety and develop tools to connect with others in ways that feel more authentic and sustainable. We’ll build insight, strengthen your self-trust, and practice new ways of showing up that support the kind of connection you actually want. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a compassionate space where you don’t have to perform, translate, or push through. If you're ready to unmask, exhale, and feel more at ease in your relationships, your work, and yourself—I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It is incredibly exhausting to walk into a room and instantly feel like everyone is judging you, or to spend hours overthinking a casual conversation after it’s already over. Social anxiety loves to make you feel isolated and keep you playing small to avoid embarrassment. We will work together to lower that intense internal pressure, quiet the fear of rejection, and build realistic comfort so you can show up in social or professional spaces without your nervous system going into overdrive.

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.

This is caused by negative, usually unrealistic beliefs about ourselves & others. It is underpinned by actual childhood rejections, which now are projected out onto everyone we meet, especially onto strangers.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social anxiety and related challenges, including fear of judgment, excessive self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, difficulty speaking in groups, performance anxiety, and discomfort in interpersonal interactions. Social anxiety can significantly impact relationships, work performance, confidence, and overall quality of life, often leading to isolation, stress, and reduced self-esteem.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social anxiety therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to fear and avoidance in social settings. Many individuals with social anxiety have experienced past criticism, embarrassment, rejection, bullying, or other distressing social experiences that continue to shape how they perceive and respond to social environments.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce anxiety responses, and build greater confidence in social situations. Therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, shifting negative beliefs about self and others, and developing healthier patterns of interaction.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, explore underlying fears, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety in real-world social settings. Treatment is personalized and supportive, helping clients gradually increase comfort, confidence, and authenticity in their interactions with others.
The goal of therapy is not to eliminate personality or force social performance, but to help clients feel more at ease being themselves, build meaningful connections, and reduce the fear and avoidance that interfere with daily life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond social anxiety, feel more grounded in social situations, and engage with others in a way that feels natural, confident, and authentic.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety can quietly shrink your world — you avoid situations, over-rehearse interactions, replay conversations afterward for everything you said wrong, and feel a loneliness that comes from being around people but never quite feeling able to be yourself. This isn't shyness or introversion; it's your nervous system treating social situations as a threat. I work with social anxiety through a combination of nervous system regulation, EMDR, and somatic techniques that help your body learn to feel safer in connection — so you can start showing up more freely, and less managed.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel high-stakes—leading to overthinking, self-consciousness, and a tendency to avoid situations that might otherwise be meaningful. In therapy, we take time to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going, while gently working toward greater comfort and flexibility in social settings. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and feelings that arise in the moment, and build your capacity to stay present and engaged—so interactions feel less overwhelming and more like an opportunity for genuine connection.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Social anxiety goes far deeper than shyness — it is a persistent, exhausting fear of judgment, embarrassment, or saying the wrong thing that can quietly shrink your world over time. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and high-achieving professionals navigate social anxiety disorder, performance anxiety, fear of judgment, public speaking anxiety, and the social avoidance that keeps so many capable people from fully engaging in their personal and professional lives. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure-based techniques, and psychodynamic insight, I help clients build genuine confidence and meaningful connection. Telehealth therapy for social anxiety available across 40+ states.
