Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals struggling with social anxiety, fear of judgment, and difficulty feeling comfortable or confident in social and professional settings. With extensive clinical experience treating anxiety across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping reduce reactivity and increase a sense of calm and control. Together, we build confidence, strengthen communication, and learn how to become more comfortable with the inherent lack of control in social environments, supporting more authentic and relaxed engagement.

Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety is one of my specialties and honestly one of my favorite things to work on with clients. Why? Because it's actually a mental health issue that responds really well to the right approaches. If you're willing to put in the work and practice what I teach you, you're going to see some pretty amazing progress. I've watched so many clients break free from social anxiety over the years, and these are the same techniques that helped me work through my own social fears. I also have tons of experience helping people get over their fear of public speaking, which usually goes hand in hand with social anxiety.

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.

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. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Social anxiety can make even the simplest interactions feel overwhelming. Maybe you spend hours replaying conversations in your head, fearing you said the wrong thing. Perhaps you avoid certain situations altogether—speaking up in meetings, attending social events, or even making phone calls—because the discomfort feels unbearable. The fear of being judged, embarrassed, or not “good enough” can be exhausting, leaving you feeling isolated or stuck in patterns of avoidance.
But social anxiety doesn’t have to dictate your life. Together, we’ll explore the underlying fears that keep you feeling trapped, work on quieting self-criticism, and develop strategies that help you step into social situations with more ease and confidence. You don’t need to be outgoing or fearless to live fully—you just need the tools to navigate social experiences in a way that feels manageable and authentic to you. Growth is possible, and you don’t have to take this step alone.
