Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgment, self-consciousness, and discomfort in social or performance situations. Many clients avoid social interactions or feel tense and overwhelmed despite wanting to connect and engage more fully with others. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with exploration of underlying emotional and cognitive patterns, helping clients build confidence, reduce anxiety, and develop practical skills to navigate social situations with greater ease and self-assurance.

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.

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.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Social anxiety is a disorder that eats its' own tail. The more of an outsider we feel we are, the more of an outsider we become, avoiding people or becoming more anxious. We now have new tools to stop this downward spiral & can take you to a place where you can be more comfortable in your own skin.

Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Social anxiety often reflects a system that has learned to stay alert to potential judgement or rejection. Through a trauma-informed lens and a focus on trauma endurance, I support clients in understanding these adaptive patterns, building a greater sense of internal safety, and developing more confident, authentic ways of relating.

Barry Herbach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Do you constantly second-guess how you come across? Avoid social situations, even with people you care about? Social anxiety isn’t just shyness — it can hijack your confidence and isolate you. I use EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to help you reduce the fear, shift the self-talk, and show up as yourself — without the panic. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through connection anymore.

Given the pandemic and the subsequent isolation, your social anxiety might feel more intense or, you are simply struggling to reconnect with your social self.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with social anxiety, I take a thoughtful, body-centered approach to help you better understand how anxiety shows up and what it’s trying to communicate. Together, we track your internal experience and develop tools for self-regulation—supporting your nervous system in moments of activation. We also explore the deeper beliefs that may underlie your anxiety, including fears around judgment, worth, or belonging. Through a combination of somatic awareness, parts work, and cognitive tools like reality testing, we begin to shift how you relate to social situations and build more flexibility, confidence, and connection in your day-to-day life.
