Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Social Anxiety
Inner Balance Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Social anxiety can develop from repeated experiences of rejection, shame, or emotional invalidation. I work with clients to understand how past relational trauma contributes to fear of judgment or avoidance of connection. Treatment focuses on regulation, self-trust, and gradually rebuilding confidence in social situations.

Social Anxiety
Kerry Diana
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
We provide therapy for adults experiencing social anxiety, including fear of negative evaluation, excessive self-monitoring, anticipatory worry, and avoidance of social or performance-based situations.
Our approach uses a structured CBT protocol for social anxiety that helps clients map the connection between situations, anxious thoughts, physical sensations, self-image, safety behaviors, and avoidance. Therapy focuses on identifying the beliefs and behaviors that keep social anxiety active, while helping clients develop more accurate self-evaluation, reduce self-focused attention, and gradually engage in social situations with greater confidence and flexibility.

Caitlin Derouen
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
I specialize in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. I utilize a combination of evidence based methods to approach anxiety treatment from a holistic, whole person perspective. I treat from both a top down and bottom up perspective to address the way that chronic anxiety affects both our body and mind. Both EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, can be great methods to address the source of anxiety symptoms.

Social Anxiety
Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
Social anxiety is so much more than shyness. It is the exhausting mental rehearsal before a conversation that hasn't happened yet, the replay that runs for hours after one that has. It is canceling plans you actually wanted to keep, staying quiet in rooms where you have something worth saying, dreading ordinary interactions that seem effortless for everyone around you, and leaving social situations feeling not relieved but flooded with self-scrutiny and regret. It is the fear not just of being seen, but of being seen and found lacking — and it can quietly shrink your world in ways that compound over time, narrowing your relationships, your opportunities, and your sense of what is possible for you. What makes social anxiety particularly painful is how invisible the struggle tends to be. From the outside you may appear reserved, composed, or simply quiet. On the inside you may be running an entirely different experience — one characterized by hypervigilance, self-consciousness, and a nervous system that has learned to treat social connection as something closer to threat than nourishment. At Deserts Bloom Therapy, social anxiety is approached with both clinical understanding and genuine empathy for how deeply it can affect the texture of daily life. Using CBT, mindfulness, and exposure-based approaches tailored to your specific patterns and pace, the work focuses on gently challenging the thoughts that fuel social fear, building tolerance for the discomfort that connection sometimes requires, and helping you gradually reclaim the parts of life that anxiety has quietly placed off limits. You were made for connection — and with the right support, it is possible to find your way back to it.

Social Anxiety
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming. You may worry about being judged, say little out of fear, or avoid situations altogether. Therapy can help you understand what fuels this anxiety and develop tools to feel calmer and more confident around others. Using a blend of mindfulness and trauma-informed techniques, we’ll work to reduce fear responses, increase emotional regulation, and build genuine self-assurance in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is not just about being shy. It often develops after experiences where being seen, judged, or rejected felt unsafe. Over time, avoiding people can start to feel like the safest option. The problem is it also keeps you stuck. In therapy, we work to understand where that fear came from and help you re-engage socially without feeling like you’re constantly under pressure.
