Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
Social anxiety is more than shyness—it’s the persistent fear of judgment, exposure, or saying the wrong thing that leads to avoidance, over-monitoring, or withdrawal. Many high-functioning men manage work and responsibilities well while quietly avoiding social situations, speaking up, or forming deeper connections.
Therapy for social anxiety focuses on reducing threat sensitivity, unlearning self-critical patterns, and building steady confidence in real-world interactions. With structured, evidence-based work, men learn to engage socially without overthinking, regain ease around others, and show up more fully in professional and personal settings.

Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Social anxiety is more than shyness. It's the mental rehearsal before every conversation, the replay after, and the exhaustion of performing normalcy while dreading what people think. We work with people who are tired of letting anxiety run the show, helping them build confidence, quiet the self-criticism, and start engaging with the world in a way that feels more like them.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals understand social anxiety and loosen its grip, easing distress while making room for genuine connection. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we study what is happening at and beneath the surface—anticipatory fear, self-monitoring, and the meanings carried from past experience—and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less avoidance and second-guessing, more ease, choice, and confidence in relating to others.

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.
