Ashton Burdick
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, NCC, LCMHC
I enjoy helping individuals who struggle with social anxiety, "shyness", or introversion. As a life-long introvert and socially anxious person, I understand how hard it can be to get through some social situations. I can help you build skills to manage the anxiety and awkwardness, as well as improve acceptance of yourself.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with thoughtful, high‑achieving adults, often sensitive or highly self‑aware, who struggle with social anxiety. You may care deeply about connection but find that being around others brings up a lot of worry, overthinking, or dread. On the outside, you may seem capable and composed; inside, it can feel like a constant evaluation of how you are coming across. Social anxiety can feel like living in your head while your body is in the room. I work extensively with social anxiety in high‑responsibility adults and know how consuming it can feel, even when no one else sees it.
It can look like replaying conversations and worrying you said the wrong thing; avoiding gatherings, calls, or new situations because they feel too intense; fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen as awkward or boring; difficulty speaking up in groups, at work, or in class; feeling like you do not quite know the rules that other people seem to follow; or wanting close relationships but pulling back when things get more vulnerable. Over time, this can lead to isolation, loneliness, or feeling stuck in patterns you do not want.
In our work together, we get curious about where this started and how it shows up now. We make room for the part of you that is trying to keep you safe by staying small or hidden. From there, we explore small, doable steps toward more ease and authenticity with the people and situations that matter most to you, so you do not have to choose between protecting yourself and having the connections you want.

Social Anxiety
Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It is incredibly exhausting to walk into a room and instantly feel like everyone is judging you, or to spend hours overthinking a casual conversation after it’s already over. Social anxiety loves to make you feel isolated and keep you playing small to avoid embarrassment. We will work together to lower that intense internal pressure, quiet the fear of rejection, and build realistic comfort so you can show up in social or professional spaces without your nervous system going into overdrive.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Fears relate to perceived risk of rejection and hurt. Anxiety is fear of felt but non-specific risks. Each involves the same areas of the brain. My treatment focuses on finding and resolving the core issues that trigger the fear and anxiety responses, except in response to realistic perceived threat.

Social Anxiety
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.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Social anxiety is a very common condition that can result in avoidance and/or avoidance and also a lot of discomfort when being or even thinking of being in a social situation including 1 on 1, small and large group situations. Most individuals feel they don't know what to say or how to act and will be shunned, avoided or rejected. I provide social skills training to improve confidence, relaxation skills to reduce anxiety and strategies to change negative thinking patterns with healthy and adaptive ones. Whether it's becoming more comfortable and effective in asking someone on a date, socializing at a party or giving a speech at work, I can help.

Katie Steinert
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety feels devastating. The constant fear of judgement, worrying that others can see that you are anxious, and the frustrating physical symptoms (pounding heart, trembling, sweating, or blushing) can be enough to make you feel hopeless, maybe even depressed. Let's explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact to power your social anxiety. You CAN learn to interact with your anxiety in a more productive way. I believe that every individual struggling with social anxiety can learn to re-engage in their lives and reduce the impact that it has on their relationships and self-esteem.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so you don't feel rejected or stupid? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how.

Social Anxiety
Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety is more than shyness or being introverted. It is a persistent fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen in a negative light that makes ordinary social situations feel genuinely threatening. For many men, it shows up as dreading conversations, avoiding situations where attention might land on them, replaying interactions afterward looking for what went wrong, or holding back in professional and personal settings in ways that quietly limit their lives.
The frustrating part is that social anxiety often coexists with real capability. Many of the men I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and accomplished in other areas. The anxiety is not about lacking social skills. It is about a deeply ingrained pattern of threat perception that fires in situations where it does not need to, and a set of avoidance behaviors that provide short term relief while making the anxiety stronger over time.
In our work together, we get specific about where social anxiety is showing up, what is driving it, and what it is costing you. We work on the thought patterns that fuel it, build practical skills for navigating the situations you have been avoiding, and develop a more grounded and realistic way of relating to other people and to yourself in social contexts.
My approach is direct and structured. I do not believe in simply processing anxiety indefinitely. I believe in building the kind of confidence that comes from actual experience, supported by the right tools and a clear plan for getting there.
If social anxiety has been holding you back and you are ready to address it, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
