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.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Social Anxiety
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating social anxiety, from discomfort in specific professional situations like public speaking or networking to more pervasive difficulty feeling at ease around others. For some clients, this includes the particular experience of neurodivergence, not being sure whether you're following the rhythm of a conversation or reading social cues the way others expect. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a structured way to understand what's driving the anxiety and build practical tools and gradual exposure to manage it. Many of my clients are professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom social anxiety is compounded by code-switching or navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.
