Social Anxiety
Hattie Bluestone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Living with social anxiety can feel exhausting and lonely. You may find yourself replaying conversations, worrying about how others perceive you, or avoiding situations that feel overwhelming—even when you long for connection. Often, social anxiety is about more than discomfort in social situations; it can be connected to deeper feelings of self-doubt, fear of rejection, or beliefs about who you need to be in order to be accepted. In therapy, we can explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion, helping you better understand the fears and protective patterns that keep anxiety in place. As this understanding grows, many people find themselves feeling more confident, authentic, and at ease in their relationships. Healing is possible, and you don't have to navigate it alone.

Jamie Fortin
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
I offer strength-based counseling to explore what is uniquely special in you. If you are distracted, frustrated, or frightened about trying to fit into someone else's ideas about what you should be, I can support you to find satisfaction and pride within yourself. If you are fatigued by making slow progress on your own checklist of self-improvement, I can support you to develop goals, and exercises. I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, exposure therapy, and group therapy specifically tailored to social anxiety.

Social Anxiety
Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
This may show up as fear of judgment, comparison with others, discomfort in social settings, or overanalyzing interactions long after they occur. Many of my clients appear confident professionally but feel insecure or exposed in more personal environments. Using EMDR and depth-oriented therapy, we address the underlying beliefs and nervous system responses driving social anxiety so you can feel more at ease and authentic in relationships.

Social Anxiety
Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Social anxiety often lives in the aftermath, replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing, and feeling embarrassed by moments that others have long forgotten, or maybe that they didn't even notice. I work with clients to understand where that inner critic is coming from and build a more compassionate, grounded relationship with themselves so that being around others feels a little less like a performance and a little more like connection.
