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.

Social Anxiety
Christine Clark, PsyD
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Anxiety can be one of the most debilitating feelings we as humans can experience. When we feel this in social situations, it can be even worse as we fear judgment from others. Social connections and support can be so valuable and through talking through one’s experiences and fears, it is possible to build the skills necessary to tackle anxiety producing situations head on. Through facing the situations, it is possible to build connection, socially, and create a strong support system that will alleviate other feelings of anxiety one may be experiencing.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, triggering self-doubt, overthinking, and a constant fear of judgment. At Root & Rise, we treat social anxiety by combining evidence-based methods with The Stark Contrast™—our signature blend of Creative Arts Therapy and cognitive-emotional processing developed by co-founder Julie Stark, LCSW. This approach helps clients move beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging both the analytical and expressive parts of the brain. Through guided creative exercises, emotional mapping, nervous-system awareness, and structured skill-building, clients learn to address the fears underneath their social anxiety while also practicing new ways of showing up confidently in real-world situations. The Stark Contrast™ helps you shift from avoidance and self-consciousness into clarity, connection, and self-trust—so social interactions feel less threatening and more authentically you.

Long Island Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, CCTP
If the thought of walking into a room full of people, speaking up in a meeting, or making small talk leaves you feeling exposed, judged, or frozen, you are not alone. Social anxiety can make your world feel incredibly small. In our sessions, we will create a safe, paced space to challenge the harsh inner critic that tells you everyone is watching or judging. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, I will help you tame physical panic symptoms, quiet the mind-racing "what-ifs," and gradually build authentic social confidence.
