Social Anxiety
Patrick Varney-Phoenix Foundations Recovery

Social anxiety often has to do with our fear of being critiqued, criticized or evaluated, mixing CBT/DBT with self-esteem work often transforms people into being an active participant again.

Jamie Roach
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MDiv, NCC
Social anxiety often comes with the feeling of being constantly watched or judged. I help you understand this “internalized spotlight” and the nervous-system responses driving it. Through compassionate awareness, gradual exposure, and grounding practices, we work toward greater ease, confidence, and freedom in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety may stem from feelings of vulnerability, like you don't belong, past experiences of rejection, fears of judgment, and/or a sensitive nervous system's that needs lower stimulation and greater predictability than social interactions entail. Socializing or the thought of meeting people can come with feelings of fear, embarrassment, self-consciousness, and self-doubt. It's easier to avoid interacting with others, but the temporary comfort this brings leads to greater discomfort in the long run. You feel like your social anxiety is hindering your relationships and keeping you from experiencing life as fully as you'd like.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them, while honoring who you are.
