Social Anxiety
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You might appear confident and capable to others—but inside, social situations feel exhausting, overwhelming, or filled with second-guessing. Whether it’s speaking in groups, initiating friendships, navigating dating, or networking, social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel high-stakes. You may replay conversations in your head, fear saying the wrong thing, or feel pressure to present yourself in ways that aren’t sustainable. And while avoidance might bring temporary relief, it often reinforces the shame and isolation underneath.
For neurodivergent folks—including those with ADHD or autism—social anxiety can come with an added layer of complexity. You might feel like you’re constantly monitoring your tone, facial expressions, or body language just to meet unspoken expectations. Masking can become second nature—and incredibly draining. Even when things go “fine,” you might leave social interactions feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or unsure of how you were received.
I work frequently with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults navigating the intense internal pressure to show up flawlessly in social, academic, or professional spaces—always “on,” even when it’s exhausting. In our work together, we’ll also explore how social expectations intersect with aspects of your identity—and how these pressures have shaped your sense of self and belonging.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients understand the roots of their social anxiety and develop tools to connect with others in ways that feel more authentic and sustainable. We’ll build insight, strengthen your self-trust, and practice new ways of showing up that support the kind of connection you actually want. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a compassionate space where you don’t have to perform, translate, or push through. If you're ready to unmask, exhale, and feel more at ease in your relationships, your work, and yourself—I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Social anxiety is the body responding to social situations as if they were genuinely dangerous. It is not shyness and it is not a character flaw. It is a subconscious pattern, usually formed early, that learned to brace and self-monitor in the presence of other people. RTT works directly with the moment that pattern was formed and updates it. Once the threat signal quietens, social situations stop feeling like a performance and start feeling like, well, situations. I work with adults who have tried talking therapy and exposure work and want something that addresses the underlying wiring rather than just managing the surface symptoms.

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in social anxiety because I believe no one should have to live in fear of judgment or feel isolated by their own mind. Social anxiety is far more than just shyness—it is a, often debilitating, fear of being scrutinized that restricts careers, relationships, and daily life.
I help clients break the cycle of avoidance by using evidence-based tools, such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Challenging and reframing the automatic negative thoughts that fuel anxiety.
Gradual Exposure: Safely facing feared social situations to build lasting confidence.
Skill Development: Learning practical techniques for relaxation, conversation, and assertiveness.
My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can dismantle those barriers together, allowing you to re-engage with the world on your own terms. Social anxiety is highly treatable, and I am passionate about guiding clients toward freedom and connection.

David Schaffer, MSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Through specialized virtual assessments, I help individuals understand how social anxiety impacts their cognitive functioning, daily performance, and overall quality of life, providing comprehensive evaluations from the privacy and comfort of home. My approach to social anxiety assessment goes beyond symptom identification, examining how anxiety affects attention, memory, decision-making, and executive functioning—crucial insights for developing effective treatment strategies. With extensive experience evaluating the intersection of anxiety and cognitive performance, I provide detailed assessments that differentiate social anxiety from other conditions, identify specific triggers and patterns, and offer evidence-based recommendations for therapy, accommodations, and coping strategies tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.
