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.

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.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
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. Therapy can help you understand the fears beneath the anxiety, quiet the voice of self-consciousness, and feel more confident showing up as your authentic self.

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.

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.

Rochester's identity has been shaped by the legacy of companies like Kodak and Xerox — their rise defining the city's mid-20th-century prosperity and their decline leaving a post-industrial community grappling with poverty, population loss, and the psychological challenges of navigating a city in long-term contraction. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a major institutional mental health anchor — including one of the country's leading psychiatry departments — alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Brighton, Pittsford, and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Rochester's large Black and Latino communities, concentrated in the city's urban core, experience significant mental health inequities, and culturally affirming therapists are an important but undersupplied part of the local landscape. Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester contribute academic energy to a city that holds significant intellectual capital despite its economic challenges.
