Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an IFS perspective, social anxiety often involves protective parts that try to prevent perceived judgment or rejection. By noticing and compassionately engaging with these anxious parts, you can help them feel safe and understood rather than controlling your behavior. Over time, connecting with your Self allows these parts to relax, creating space for more confident and authentic social interactions.

Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
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.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals struggling with social anxiety, fear of judgment, and difficulty feeling comfortable or confident in social and professional settings. With extensive clinical experience treating anxiety across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping reduce reactivity and increase a sense of calm and control. Together, we build confidence, strengthen communication, and learn how to become more comfortable with the inherent lack of control in social environments, supporting more authentic and relaxed engagement.

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.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their social anxiety. I help them subsequently identify what is in their control as they anticipate being in those settings in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their fears associated with their anxiety in those settings.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety can be painful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. I understand why this is one of people's top fears. Talking in therapy about the worries you have and learning new ways to practice social skills as well as learning more accurate self talk and self appraisal can increase confidence and improve your social life.
