Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you struggle taking the first steps to get closer to others and feel detached?
Do you experience tension or conflict when you get closer to your acquaintances?
Do you feel anxious in social situations and shy away from closer connections?
Do you long for more enjoyment and fun in your social experience?
While we desire relationships and connections with others outside of our immediate families, we may experience difficulty establishing and maintaining these relationships .
If you are someone who…
looks for closer connections
wishes there was more care and less conflict with your friends
get anxious when talking to strangers or in social gatherings
… then I may be able to help. I can assist you in improving your communication and interpersonal skills to bring you closer to others. While conflict can surface in every human interaction, if it is handled skillfully with warmth and respect, there is a great chance to develop closer and more meaningful relationships.
I have experience helping people manage relationship conflicts, attachment difficulties and social anxiety. Please contact me if you are interested in exploring these services.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You overthink everything you say. You replay conversations long after they’re over, second-guessing how you came across. Maybe you dread group settings, avoid situations where you might be put on the spot, or mask your discomfort so well that no one would ever know how anxious you feel inside. Social anxiety doesn’t always look like panic—it can look like perfectionism, avoidance, or exhaustion from constantly managing how you’re perceived.
Dr. Jenny Shields helps people who are quietly carrying social anxiety beneath the surface—especially those who seem calm and capable on the outside but feel anything but on the inside. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-based work, she helps you gently face the fears that are running the show, learn new ways to respond, and build confidence from the inside out. Her approach is warm, respectful, and deeply attuned to the sensitivity that often comes with social anxiety. Together, you’ll work to ease the self-doubt, drop the need to perform, and reclaim your voice—not by becoming someone else, but by learning to show up as yourself.
