Being afraid of social situations severely restricts our ability to find and form relationships with others, and essential part of being a person. Having support in dealing with this problem can help you become more confident, learn social skills, and being less fearful of social situations.

Social Anxiety
Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety is more than shyness or being introverted. It is a persistent fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen in a negative light that makes ordinary social situations feel genuinely threatening. For many men, it shows up as dreading conversations, avoiding situations where attention might land on them, replaying interactions afterward looking for what went wrong, or holding back in professional and personal settings in ways that quietly limit their lives.
The frustrating part is that social anxiety often coexists with real capability. Many of the men I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and accomplished in other areas. The anxiety is not about lacking social skills. It is about a deeply ingrained pattern of threat perception that fires in situations where it does not need to, and a set of avoidance behaviors that provide short term relief while making the anxiety stronger over time.
In our work together, we get specific about where social anxiety is showing up, what is driving it, and what it is costing you. We work on the thought patterns that fuel it, build practical skills for navigating the situations you have been avoiding, and develop a more grounded and realistic way of relating to other people and to yourself in social contexts.
My approach is direct and structured. I do not believe in simply processing anxiety indefinitely. I believe in building the kind of confidence that comes from actual experience, supported by the right tools and a clear plan for getting there.
If social anxiety has been holding you back and you are ready to address it, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

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.

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. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and confident in social situations, but instead you are afraid you will look stupid, embarrass yourself, or be rejected. It has been hard for you to manage this level of social anxiety on your own. Each day it becomes more difficult to focus on anything other than those worst-case scenarios that your mind so quickly creates. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from social anxiety. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

New Path Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
We help individuals overcome the fear and discomfort that can arise in social situations, whether it's speaking in public, meeting new people, or participating in group settings. Social anxiety often stems from a fear of judgment or rejection, but our approach is designed to help clients challenge these fears and build greater confidence in their social interactions. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness, we work with clients to identify and reframe negative thought patterns, gradually reduce avoidance behaviors, and develop effective coping strategies. Our goal is to empower individuals to feel more comfortable in social situations, build stronger connections with others, and ultimately embrace life with less fear and greater self-assurance.

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.

Jennifer Whaley
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety can make life extremely limited in what you can or want to do. It is our human nature to want to avoid; however, this most often takes us further away from the life you desire. I use a CBT approach of exploring your fears and responses while gaining confidence through practicing actions.

Social anxiety can be potentially crippling, depending on how strong it is in an individual person. Depending on their particular profile, I will help them better understand themselves, how they may see themselves unconsciously, and what their fears are in engaging with others socially.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you constantly seeking acceptance from others? Do you struggle with being your authentic self because you worry about how other's perceive you? Do you avoid social situations because you fear you may say something wrong or not be liked by others? Anxiety can be debilitating in social situations. CBT is often used to assist individuals with increasing confidence in social situations and learning how to give oneself grace when they say or do something wrong. Dr. Goodwin will work on helping individuals to let go of the idea that they need to be perfect, or what they perceive as the perfect person, to be liked by others so they can work on being the person they were meant to be. Together, we can work on helping you to believe in yourself and be the best version of who you are meant to be.
