Social anxiety is more than shyness. It can leave you overthinking conversations, worrying about how you're perceived, or holding yourself back from the relationships and experiences you want.

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, intimidating, or even overwhelming. You might worry about being judged, embarrassed, or saying the “wrong” thing, leading you to avoid social situations, overthink conversations, or feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt. Over time, this can impact relationships, work, and your ability to feel confident and at ease around others. As a clinical psychologist, specializing in trauma, mood disorders and addiction, I help individuals understand and overcome social anxiety in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Together, we explore the underlying patterns that maintain anxiety, such as attachment anxiety, negative core beliefs about the self, fear of evaluation, and avoidance, and work toward building confidence and flexibility in social situations. My approach is integrative, utilizing evidence-based treatments, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and exposure therapy, while also incorporating depth oriented strategies to address root causes. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, helping you develop practical skills incrementally to navigate social interactions with greater ease and authenticity. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more comfortable being yourself, engage more fully in relationships, and approach social situations with increased confidence rather than fear.

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.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety can be painful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. I understand why this is one of people's top fears. Talking in therapy about the worries you have and learning new ways to practice social skills as well as learning more accurate self talk and self appraisal can increase confidence and improve your social life.

Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If the fear of judgment keeps you isolated, our work is designed to help you reconnect with confidence. We’ll partner to identify and restructure the fear-based thoughts that fuel your anxiety. Using a "parts work" approach, we will gently explore the protective inner system and connect with the source of the anxiety—often a young, vulnerable, or shamed "part" that developed to keep you safe from perceived social threat. This work is gently paced and respects your need for safety as you learn to unhook from the endless cycle of rumination and choose to engage in your life according to your values.
