Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Social anxiety therapy, is a gradual approach to help individuals overcome intense fear of judgment by identifying, challenging, and replacing negative thought patterns with more realistic ones. Some techniques include gradual exposure to feared social situations, social skills training, and, if needed, medications like SSRIs or beta-blockers. I work with individuals with social anxiety using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If the fear of judgment keeps you isolated, our work is designed to help you reconnect with confidence. We’ll partner to identify and restructure the fear-based thoughts that fuel your anxiety. Using a "parts work" approach, we will gently explore the protective inner system and connect with the source of the anxiety—often a young, vulnerable, or shamed "part" that developed to keep you safe from perceived social threat. This work is gently paced and respects your need for safety as you learn to unhook from the endless cycle of rumination and choose to engage in your life according to your values.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
So often shame and social anxiety are tied together. It has been said that "It is a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be found". I find this to be very true. We all desire closeness and intimacy, however, often when we experience conditional worth, shame based parenting and other traumas early in our lives, we can naturally develop a fear of people. Social anxiety is to be afraid of being ourselves for fear of rejection or some other shame/imperfection. Learning to love ourselves, heal from the shame, and reclaim our birthright of belonging is the work.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You Worry What Others Think
If you find yourself replaying conversations, worrying you said the “wrong” thing, or avoiding situations where you might be judged, you may be struggling with social anxiety. You might appear confident and put-together on the outside but inside feel tense, self-conscious, or on high alert. Even small interactions — meetings, text replies, or social plans — can feel like high-stakes performances. Social anxiety is not just shyness. It’s your brain trying to protect you from rejection or embarrassment — often by over-analyzing and keeping you stuck.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you feel calm and authentic around others. You’ll learn how to:
Identify and challenge the beliefs that drive fear of judgment
Rewire the inner dialogue that fuels self-criticism and avoidance
Build emotional tolerance for uncertainty and vulnerability
Practice real-world experiments that retrain your brain’s social safety system
Experience connection and confidence without overthinking every move
Our work blends compassion and science — using daily tools, feedback, and measurable progress to create lasting change. Most clients notice significant relief from social anxiety within 8 to 12 weeks.
I BELIEVE:
You deserve to feel safe being yourself — not performing for others.
Confidence isn’t the absence of anxiety; it’s learning to show up anyway.
Connection grows when we stop chasing perfection and start allowing authenticity.
Fear loses power when it’s met with curiosity instead of avoidance.
Laughter, empathy, and courage are the antidotes to shame.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel emotionally exhausting, intimidating, or overwhelming. Many individuals struggling with social anxiety experience intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, difficulty speaking openly, avoidance of social situations, chronic overthinking, or persistent worries about being rejected, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated by others.
I provide therapy for individuals experiencing social anxiety with a focus on helping clients better understand the emotional and psychological patterns contributing to fear, avoidance, and self-criticism. Treatment involves developing healthier coping strategies, increasing emotional confidence, reducing avoidance behaviors, and building a greater sense of comfort, authenticity, and connection in relationships and social situations.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for treating social anxiety by helping individuals overcome the fear and discomfort associated with social situations. Through relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapists support clients in accessing subconscious beliefs that contribute to anxiety, enabling them to reframe negative self-perceptions and develop greater confidence. This approach may reduce physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat or sweating, and promote calmer, more adaptive responses in social settings. Integrated with other therapies, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to build self-assurance and engage more comfortably in social interactions.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety can quietly shrink your world — you avoid situations, over-rehearse interactions, replay conversations afterward for everything you said wrong, and feel a loneliness that comes from being around people but never quite feeling able to be yourself. This isn't shyness or introversion; it's your nervous system treating social situations as a threat. I work with social anxiety through a combination of nervous system regulation, EMDR, and somatic techniques that help your body learn to feel safer in connection — so you can start showing up more freely, and less managed.
