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.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for anxiety disorders, including social anxiety. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue letting anxiety rule their choices, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. Social anxiety is isolating and painful. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for social anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary anxiety and OCD, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. You don't have to keep suffering this way.

Social anxiety can create intense feelings of fear or discomfort in social situations, affecting personal, professional, and social aspects of life. I help clients explore the underlying thoughts and beliefs that contribute to this anxiety while offering practical tools for managing fear and building confidence in social interactions. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure techniques, and mindfulness strategies, we work together to reduce avoidance behaviors, challenge negative self-talk, and develop more comfortable, authentic ways of engaging with others.
