Fallon Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, LPC
"Social anxiety can feel like being constantly watched, leading to a cycle of self-consciousness and avoidance that makes connecting with others feel exhausting. In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you understand the root of these fears and develop a new way of engaging with the world. Using evidence-based tools like CBT and DBT skills, we will work on challenging the internal narratives that drive your anxiety and build practical strategies to manage physical and emotional discomfort in social settings. My goal is to help you move from a place of avoidance toward a life where you feel confident, connected, and authentically yourself."

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
With social anxiety we will work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions as well as positive self talk, behavioral activation, probability estimation, pros and cons of being social, social skills & social cues, and behavioral activation (taking action). Often times we make something seem scarier in our own mind than it actually is. With anxiety one of the best ways to overcome it is simply to engage in the activity that scares you. I will help you to stop your negative thinking, to learn relaxation techniques and coping skills and then encourage you to face your fears and gain practice in social situations.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety involves three components: cognitive (thinking), behavioral, and physiological. I can help you change your thinking to be more positive, yet accurate. Behavioral includes facing your social fears (the more you avoid, the more fearful you will be), as well as social skills. I'll help you learn social skills. Physiological means that dreaded fight flight response (heart pounding, blushing, sweating). I'll help you to stay relaxed when anxious. Believe it or not 95% of people are anxious in at least one social situation. Normalizing it and accepting it is another thing I am Abel (hahaha) to help you with.
