Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
For treating social anxiety, I use a collaborative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we'll identify and challenge the negative thought patterns that fuel your anxiety in social situations. By gradually exposing you to feared situations in a safe and structured way, we work to reduce the power of those fears. Over time, this process helps you build confidence, improve your social skills, and foster a greater sense of control in interactions. Ultimately, my goal is to help you engage more freely and comfortably with others, improving your social experiences and overall well-being.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.
