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.

Social Anxiety
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, yet alone trying to make sense of the world around them.
I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

Social Anxiety
Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
If you get very stressed about social situations, either before or after, you'll be spending a lot of energy and brain power on all your internal self-talk around this. Sometimes that can make you act awkwardly or not be able to be as natural and confident as you'd like to be. We can work on changing your self-talk together so that you are better able to be more in the moment and can be freer and more accepting of yourself.

Social Anxiety
Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
By fostering acceptance of anxious thoughts and feelings without judgment, my clients can reduce avoidance behaviors and engage more fully in social situations. Additionally, I believe exploring unconscious patterns and past experiences helps uncover underlying causes of anxiety, promoting deeper self-understanding and lasting change.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help people struggling with social anxiety understand the fears, self‑doubt, and old protective patterns that make everyday interactions feel so overwhelming. Together, we gently explore what’s underneath the worry and build new ways of relating that feel safer, more grounded, and more authentic. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative—supporting you as you grow confidence and ease in connecting with others.
