Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, racing thoughts, frozen silence, or fear of being judged. I help sensitive adults explore the roots of that fear and gently shift it using body-based practices, somatic therapy, and relational healing. Together, we build self-trust and regulation so you can feel more confident and connected without masking who you are.

Social Anxiety
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.

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.

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.

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.
