Social Anxiety
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Social anxiety is more than just being afraid to speak in public, for many people social anxiety is fear of being judged by other people in any social setting to the extent that they usually decline any social events. Treating social anxiety involves trying to find the source for the anxiety and the negative beliefs that have become part of the client's self beliefs so that we can desensitize, reframe, reprocess, and replace these negative beliefs with improved self-confidence. We will also use visualization exercises in which the client will imagine a social setting and being comfortable with who they are in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Aguib Diop
Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
While most of us place some value on our personal and professional reputations, what happens when we're in constant fear of these reputations being tarnished or attacked? For those with social anxiety disorders, the result is the avoidance of people, experiences and opportunities that could result in life’s enjoyment. If you have a social anxiety disorder, our shared goal will be to gradually confront these avoided situations. After experiencing each situation, your original thoughts will be reframed to match this experience rather than the feared worst-case scenario. You’ll also apply coping strategies that help you feel at ease while confronting situations. You may even learn to laugh at yourself, which is almost always a win.
