Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC

Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, exhausting, or even impossible. I work with adults who feel anxious in social situations, worry about being judged, or avoid activities they used to enjoy. Using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness-informed strategies, I help clients build confidence, reduce avoidance, and engage more fully in their lives. If social anxiety is keeping you from feeling connected or comfortable, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Joshua Redding
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
It's not always the lonely who have social anxiety (though that can be a symptom), It can look like avoiding friends and family, using substances to cope, or binge-watching shows because the world (and the people in it) can seem boringly terrifying. Trying to understand why and how to manage your social anxiety may even be anxiety-inducing! Therapy can help reduce the effects of social anxiety and uncover desire. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.

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.

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.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Social anxiety can turn everyday interactions, meetings, and public speaking into exhausting sources of dread. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and gradual exposure frameworks, I help clients identify and challenge catastrophic thinking patterns and fears of negative evaluation. Our clinical work focuses on disrupting avoidance behaviors, lowering physiological hyperarousal, and building authentic communication confidence so you can engage in professional and social spaces on your own terms.

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.

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.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals understand social anxiety and loosen its grip, easing distress while making room for genuine connection. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we study what is happening at and beneath the surface—anticipatory fear, self-monitoring, and the meanings carried from past experience—and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less avoidance and second-guessing, more ease, choice, and confidence in relating to others.
