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.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for anxiety disorders, including social anxiety. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue letting anxiety rule their choices, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. Social anxiety is isolating and painful. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for social anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary anxiety and OCD, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. You don't have to keep suffering this way.

Social anxiety can make even everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to avoidance, self-doubt, and excessive overthinking. I help individuals navigate these challenges by building confidence, developing practical coping strategies, and gently shifting unhelpful thought patterns. Using a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and gradual exposure work, I support clients in breaking free from fear-based limitations and finding more ease in social situations. My approach fosters self-trust, helping individuals engage more fully in their personal and professional lives without the weight of anxiety holding them back.

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.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.
