Social Anxiety
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.

Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating social anxiety. My professional journey includes working in hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer in the U.S. Army, where I gained invaluable experience addressing diverse mental health concerns. Over the years, I have honed my skills in evidence-based therapies for social anxiety, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), through advanced training at leading military treatment facilities and esteemed private practices.
These experiences have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges posed by social anxiety and strengthened my dedication to providing compassionate, effective care. My mission is to help you overcome the limitations of social anxiety, build confidence, and lead a more connected and meaningful life. Together, we will create a personalized therapeutic plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification related to avoidance based fear/anxiety behaviors and habits. I have helped people effectively approach their fears and anxiety with the goal of improved functioning and quality of life.
The guidance that I'll provide you with helps build up the skills you need in your day-to-day life when making small and major decisions. I can help you achieve a better life balance. Learning when to pause and enjoy the moment, rather than stressing about what you did or didn’t do, or where you need to be or what you need to do next. People often have the tendency to let their past, patterns, or habits determine their present and future. I can help you find a way to roll with the waves of life in a more manageable way. There are unpredictable storms along the way, and I can provide the skills and tools for managing through the storms. I can help you find a new way to move forward in life rather than trying to anchor down in the storm. I can help you recognize that the tides tend to change, and you can find your way to calmer waters. I would love to help you find the right path forward for you on your journey.
I believe that nothing in life is truly just a mistake unless you learn nothing from it. Many of us learn things the best the hard way. These life lessons and experiences are where true wisdom can come from . I find that being straight forward with people in a kind, caring manner can lead to gains quicker. I don't judge people for choices made in the past, as our past helps us learn to grow and develop into what we hope to be. The potential for change is one of the greatest human abilities. When someone desires to change and decides to do it for themselves, then growth is always possible. Having a great therapist can be the missing key as to why change has been so hard in the past. Over my 15 years as a therapist, I learned that helping others be more intentional about life can be a game changer. If you are doubtful about your own change, I can be your confidence and I am always up for a challenge.

Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Do you secretly hope your friends will cancel the plans you have made with them or spend time trying to figure out how to get out of social events because the thought of interacting with people or even walking into the even terrifies you? Social anxiety can be extremely crippling, and those of us who deal with it often struggle from loneliness and isolation even though those same social situations we crave so desperately also overwhelm us tremendously. In therapy you can learn new strategies to manage your anxiety, learn ways of creating friends AND showing up to enjoy them, and ways to create a community of people that “get” you and have space for you however you choose to show up. We can also help you learn to love ALL of the facets of your life- including the moments where you get to show up to spend time with others and the times you are alone. I find that online therapy is particularly good for social anxiety because we can work together in any place you feel safe and comfortable in and work together to help you stretch and strengthen your ability to interact socially.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address social anxiety with a compassionate and faith-centered approach, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide individuals toward overcoming their fears. Recognizing the challenges associated with social anxiety, I create a supportive environment that incorporates prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith. Drawing upon biblical teachings on courage, trust in God, and the value of community, I collaborate with individuals to explore the root causes of social anxiety and develop coping strategies. Encouraging a reliance on God's strength and an understanding of one's worth in Christ, the counselor empowers individuals to face social situations with confidence. This integrated approach seeks to address the psychological and spiritual aspects of social anxiety, fostering a sense of belonging and ease within social interactions within the context of their Christian beliefs.

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!

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.

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.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social anxiety and related challenges, including fear of judgment, excessive self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, difficulty speaking in groups, performance anxiety, and discomfort in interpersonal interactions. Social anxiety can significantly impact relationships, work performance, confidence, and overall quality of life, often leading to isolation, stress, and reduced self-esteem.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social anxiety therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to fear and avoidance in social settings. Many individuals with social anxiety have experienced past criticism, embarrassment, rejection, bullying, or other distressing social experiences that continue to shape how they perceive and respond to social environments.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce anxiety responses, and build greater confidence in social situations. Therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, shifting negative beliefs about self and others, and developing healthier patterns of interaction.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, explore underlying fears, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety in real-world social settings. Treatment is personalized and supportive, helping clients gradually increase comfort, confidence, and authenticity in their interactions with others.
The goal of therapy is not to eliminate personality or force social performance, but to help clients feel more at ease being themselves, build meaningful connections, and reduce the fear and avoidance that interfere with daily life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond social anxiety, feel more grounded in social situations, and engage with others in a way that feels natural, confident, and authentic.
