Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel emotionally exhausting, intimidating, or overwhelming. Many individuals struggling with social anxiety experience intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, difficulty speaking openly, avoidance of social situations, chronic overthinking, or persistent worries about being rejected, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated by others.
I provide therapy for individuals experiencing social anxiety with a focus on helping clients better understand the emotional and psychological patterns contributing to fear, avoidance, and self-criticism. Treatment involves developing healthier coping strategies, increasing emotional confidence, reducing avoidance behaviors, and building a greater sense of comfort, authenticity, and connection in relationships and social situations.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Social anxiety often involves more than fear of other people. It can create a painful sense of being watched from the outside, as though every interaction requires careful management of how you appear. Over time, this can make relationships feel more like performances than places of genuine contact. Our work can help you understand where that imagined gaze came from and why it carries so much authority, making it easier to be with others without constantly leaving yourself to wonder how you are being seen.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
Social anxiety can make you feel like everyone is watching or judging you, even when they are not. You may replay conversations, worry about saying the wrong thing, or avoid situations altogether. Therapy can help you understand those patterns and feel more confident in social situations.
