Mary Jean Elder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, Ed. S, LCMHC
Social anxiety can limit ones ability to engage in a fulfilling life. Often our worries about what others think about us or the fear that we are going to do something embarrassing or that others are going to judge us. These type of thoughts keep us from engaging often by avoiding situations or remaining silent when in groups. Often these thoughts are developed over years of being criticized or punished for behaviors in groups or irrational beliefs we have about ourselves and others. With exploring our history and how it is influencing our core beliefs that hold us back from enjoying life.

Kelsey Grant
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA
Social anxiety is often a part of you that learned the room wasn't safe — that being seen meant being judged, or that taking up space came with a cost. That part isn't irrational. It learned something real. I help clients understand where that part came from and what it still needs, so it doesn't have to run the show every time you walk into a room

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Social anxiety is often described as shyness, but for many people, it feels much more intense—overthinking every interaction, worrying about how you’re coming across, replaying conversations afterward, or avoiding situations altogether because the discomfort feels too high. It can make everyday things—meeting new people, speaking up, even casual interactions—feel exhausting. And in environments that are fast-paced, socially demanding, or unclear, that anxiety can build quickly.
For some, social anxiety is also connected to neurodivergence—such as ADHD, autism, or giftedness—where social dynamics may feel less intuitive, more effortful, or shaped by past experiences of being misunderstood. That context matters, and it changes how we approach the work.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t treat social anxiety as something to “push through” without support. We help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and how your specific patterns developed. From there, we actively build practical, realistic strategies—whether that’s managing physical anxiety, shifting thought patterns, or gradually increasing comfort in social situations in ways that feel doable. We also name the cultural and systemic factors that shape social expectations, so you’re not holding yourself to standards that may not actually fit you. This work is about helping you feel more at ease, more confident, and more able to show up as yourself—without constantly second-guessing or shrinking.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you constantly seeking acceptance from others? Do you struggle with being your authentic self because you worry about how other's perceive you? Do you avoid social situations because you fear you may say something wrong or not be liked by others? Anxiety can be debilitating in social situations. CBT is often used to assist individuals with increasing confidence in social situations and learning how to give oneself grace when they say or do something wrong. Dr. Goodwin will work on helping individuals to let go of the idea that they need to be perfect, or what they perceive as the perfect person, to be liked by others so they can work on being the person they were meant to be. Together, we can work on helping you to believe in yourself and be the best version of who you are meant to be.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services to those who may self-identify as socially anxious. If you often feel stuck between wanting to feel seen and wanting to remain invisible, I'd love to help you explore and navigate relationships. Working with me on this concern will likely involve some education and skill-building, exposures or "risk-taking," and some humor to take the edge off. Clients often also have dating-related concerns or inexperience, which I welcome.
