Social Anxiety
Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Did you grow up feeling judged, criticized, or not good enough? If so, this may have led to social anxiety and often worrying that others are negatively evaluating you. Have you shaped yourself to try to be "palatable" for other people as if you are constantly wearing a mask pretending to be a version of yourself others might like? Often, having social anxiety can lead to people pleasing and having poor boundaries in order to appear more likable. However, these patterns can be exhausting and leave you feeling like a shell of who you really are. I can support you to be more authentic and to slowly work through patterns that no longer serve you so you can feel more at peace with who you truly are.

I help people struggling with social anxiety understand the fears, self‑doubt, and old protective patterns that make everyday interactions feel so overwhelming.

Roanne de Guia-Samuels
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CChT
Social anxiety is more than just being shy—it can feel like your body is constantly on alert, making you second-guess yourself, overthink conversations, or avoid situations that matter to you. My approach goes beyond building confidence by helping you understand what your nervous system is trying to protect you from. Using somatic therapy, and practical coping strategies, we'll work together to help your body feel safer so you can show up more fully in your relationships, work, and everyday life.

Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
I know the agony of social anxiety. I am, if you like, an expert in it. Which means, I can help you find compassion for yourself, and the gradual allowance of who and how you are in social life, and the expansion of a certain ease and freedom in this respect that can seem unthinkable at the beginning of the journey.
