Social Anxiety
Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients manage their social anxiety. People can be unpredictable and rejecting. For someone that is different, who struggles to pick up on subtle social cues, or who has social communication differences, interacting with others can be tiring and painful. Yet, so many of us are social creatures and get lonely. I enjoy helping clients build a supportive community, find their tribe, and feel more confident interacting with others.

Social Anxiety
Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Persistent and intense fears of being watched, judged, or evaluated negatively by others in social or performance situations are very different than feeling shy or nervous. The fears are often out of proportion to the actual threat the situation poses. Common triggers may include: meeting new people; starting conversations; dating; eating or drinking in front of others; being the center of attention. Many individuals either avoid such situations, or endure them with significant distress. Together, we can explore how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations reinforce each other when anxiety levels spike. Our goal will be to identify and challenge distorted beliefs, and then replace them with more accurate thoughts. In addition, reducing subtle avoidance tactics will help you come to realize that you can in fact handle these situations successfully.

Cecelia Kowalski
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW - 22624
Social anxiety can make ordinary interactions feel like a performance you're constantly being evaluated on. I help clients understand what's driving that fear and build genuine confidence, not just coping strategies to get through it.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.
