Social Anxiety therapists in Brisbane, California CA
Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have extensive experience working with social anxiety and also run a social anxiety therapy group called Social Anxiety, Shyness and Highly Sensitive Person Group. Social anxiety is often experienced as intense self-consciousness and a fear of being negatively judged by others and can get in the way of relationships and living the life we want. I help clients get to the root of their social anxiety. Understanding where it came from gives us clues as to what the anxiety is trying to protect or prevent. Often there are social traumas that created an intense vigilance and harsh inner critic as protectors. However, these protections likely have become outdated. With empathy I help clients heal and transform these painful moments to create a more compassionate and empowered self narrative so that they can safe again to connect with the world and people around them.

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
There are many root causes of social anxiety. While some people are naturally introverted, anxiety is an unnecessary extension of that. Social anxiety can also become entrained through conscious or unconscious habits of thought and expectation based on past experiences. No matter what your personality type or prior traumas you don't have to suffer with anxiety in any social situation, whether at a party, giving a presentation at work, or interacting with a clerk at the store. Using hypnosis I will help you resolve any negative feels around previously triggering situations and help you discover inner strength and confidence that will allow you to function well in any social situation.

Often a strong inner critic and judging mind contribute to social anxiety- creating a different relationship with this critic will free you up to enjoy yourself and others much more.

I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in overcoming the symptoms of social anxiety - whether that is due to interacting in specific situations, more general public environments, or anything in between. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of overcoming social anxiety, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well.

Together, we'll identify the underlying triggers and beliefs contributing to your anxiety, while developing practical strategies to manage and cope with social challenges. Through gradual exposure, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness techniques, we'll work towards increasing your confidence, improving your social skills, and expanding your comfort zone. My goal is to help you navigate social situations with greater ease, resilience, and self-assurance, ultimately enhancing your overall well-being and quality of life.

James Norwood
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
We all do our best to navigate a complex and often unpredictable social world. It usually isn't easy, and the uncertainty that accompanies any social interaction can drive some to feel afraid, even to the point of feeling paralyzed. Therapy should be a place where you can talk about all of your relationships.
