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.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
Social anxiety can make your world feel smaller than it should be. Psychotherapy can help you to quiet the 'mental noise' of overthinking so you can stop performing and start feeling like yourself again.

Social anxiety can impact so many areas of life. Fear of judgment, overthinking conversations, self-consciousness, and avoidance can make social, professional, and dating situations feel overwhelming. Using evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and exposure-based strategies, I help clients build confidence and feel more comfortable engaging in the relationships and opportunities that matter to them.

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.

Brielle Layden

Social Anxiety can feel debilitating and often prevents us from having the kinds of relationships and experiences we are worthy of. 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. I will help you identify the root causes of this anxiety and provide you with coping strategies to ease the fearful response and increase your confidence.

My approach to the treatment social anxiety is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs that contribute to fear and self-consciousness in social situations. Together, we use practical strategies such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, and social skills training to build confidence and reduce avoidance. This structured, supportive process helps clients develop a more balanced perspective and engage more comfortably and authentically in social interactions.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can quietly shape how you move through the world—leading you to hold back, overprepare, overanalyze, or avoid situations that feel emotionally risky. You may long for connection while also fearing judgment, criticism, rejection, or not being accepted as you are. Together, we will explore the roots of these fears while helping you feel more secure, authentic, and at ease in relationships and social situations.

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. 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.

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.
