Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety is so much more than shyness. It can mean dreading everyday interactions, replaying conversations long after they are over, avoiding situations that feel overwhelming, or carrying a constant fear of being judged, embarrassed, or not meeting others' expectations. At Alabaster Counseling, we understand how exhausting it can be to navigate the world when social situations feel threatening rather than enjoyable, and we are here to help. We work with girls and women of all ages who are struggling with social anxiety, providing a warm and supportive space to explore where those fears come from and gently begin to work through them. Using evidence-based therapy, we help you build confidence, develop practical coping strategies, and start showing up in your life and relationships with greater ease and comfort.

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.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Social anxiety reflects fears of visibility, judgment, and emotional exposure. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration with somatic awareness to understand how relational fear is held in both the body and inner life. This process supports greater confidence, presence, and emotional freedom in social and intimate situations.
