Social Anxiety
Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel like high-stakes performances, leaving you preoccupied with how others perceive you or replaying conversations long after they’ve ended. You may avoid certain situations, hold back from speaking up, or put significant energy into appearing confident while privately worrying about being judged. It's exhausting. In our work together, we’ll identify the patterns that make social situations feel so difficult and practice approaching them differently, so you can feel more at ease, speak more freely, show up genuinely, and build connections without the pressure to get everything right.

Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Charles R. Davenport specializes in treating social anxiety, a condition characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Davenport uses evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety can significantly impact daily life, making it difficult to interact with others, attend social gatherings, or perform in public. Dr. Davenport employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to their anxiety. He also incorporates exposure therapy, a CBT method that gradually exposes clients to feared social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Davenport integrates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. His holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Davenport provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. He also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Davenport is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services to those who may self-identify as socially anxious. If you often feel stuck between wanting to feel seen and wanting to remain invisible, I'd love to help you explore and navigate relationships. Working with me on this concern will likely involve some education and skill-building, exposures or "risk-taking," and some humor to take the edge off. Clients often also have dating-related concerns or inexperience, which I welcome.

Social Anxiety
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.

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.
