Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful or exhausting, often leading to avoidance, self-doubt, or fear of judgment. I provide integrative psychiatric care that looks at both emotional and physical contributors to social anxiety, including nervous system sensitivity, sleep, and overall health. Visits focus on understanding how social anxiety shows up for you, offering guidance and medication support when appropriate, with the goal of helping you feel more comfortable, confident, and at ease in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Social anxiety can quietly shrink your world — making connection feel more threatening than rewarding, and keeping you from the relationships and experiences you actually want. At Restored, we help clients understand the subconscious beliefs and nervous system patterns fueling social anxiety and work to shift them at a deeper level than traditional coping strategies alone can reach. You deserve to feel at ease in your own skin — and in the presence of others.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You might appear confident and capable to others—but inside, social situations feel exhausting, overwhelming, or filled with second-guessing. Whether it’s speaking in groups, initiating friendships, navigating dating, or networking, social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel high-stakes. You may replay conversations in your head, fear saying the wrong thing, or feel pressure to present yourself in ways that aren’t sustainable. And while avoidance might bring temporary relief, it often reinforces the shame and isolation underneath.
For neurodivergent folks—including those with ADHD or autism—social anxiety can come with an added layer of complexity. You might feel like you’re constantly monitoring your tone, facial expressions, or body language just to meet unspoken expectations. Masking can become second nature—and incredibly draining. Even when things go “fine,” you might leave social interactions feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or unsure of how you were received.
I work frequently with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults navigating the intense internal pressure to show up flawlessly in social, academic, or professional spaces—always “on,” even when it’s exhausting. In our work together, we’ll also explore how social expectations intersect with aspects of your identity—and how these pressures have shaped your sense of self and belonging.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients understand the roots of their social anxiety and develop tools to connect with others in ways that feel more authentic and sustainable. We’ll build insight, strengthen your self-trust, and practice new ways of showing up that support the kind of connection you actually want. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a compassionate space where you don’t have to perform, translate, or push through. If you're ready to unmask, exhale, and feel more at ease in your relationships, your work, and yourself—I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Tucson's large Hispanic population — spanning both sides of the US-Mexico border — and its position as a university city anchored by the University of Arizona together define the city's therapy landscape. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand, and therapists experienced with border-crossing trauma, immigration stress, and bicultural identity serve an important clinical role. The city's proximity to the Tohono O'odham Nation and other tribal communities creates demand for therapists trained in Indigenous trauma, historical loss, and culturally grounded care. Banner — University Medical Center Tucson provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community serving the Foothills, midtown, and the university corridor.
