Together, we'll work on boosting your confidence, improving your communication skills, and finding ways to navigate social situations with greater ease.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Social anxiety can make conversations, relationships, work situations, or even everyday interactions feel exhausting and high-stakes. You may replay conversations afterward or worry about being judged, awkward, or misunderstood. Therapy can help you challenge these patterns and become more comfortable and confident in your interactions with others.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.
