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.

Social Anxiety
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Worrying about what others think, overanalyzing conversations, or avoiding social situations can make everyday life feel stressful and limiting. Social anxiety often shows up in school, friendships, and new environments. My goal is to help you reduce anxious thoughts and develop practical strategies for feeling more comfortable and authentic in social settings—so you can connect with others without the constant pressure.

Social Anxiety
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgement, self-consciousness, difficulty speaking up, or a tendency to withdraw in social situations. Social anxiety often develops as a way of managing risk in relationships and can shape how people anticipate, interpret, and respond to others.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what they may be protecting. Rather than focusing on exposure or performance, sessions centre on understanding the internal responses that arise in social situations. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Social Anxiety
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social Anxiety can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure. This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for social anxiety available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create social and emotional distress while simultaneously resist acting on urges to avoiding such interactions. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming urges to avoid them. People with social anxiety are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Michelle Solomon
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with individuals experiencing social anxiety who feel held back by fear, overthinking, and self-consciousness in social situations. Their fear of being judged by others limits their ability to show up authentically as themselves. Together, we build tools to manage anxiety, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen your sense of ease and confidence with yourself and others.
