Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety often involves fear of judgment, overthinking interactions, and difficulty feeling at ease around others. I work with individuals to understand the underlying patterns driving these experiences, rather than only trying to reduce symptoms. Therapy focuses on building confidence, increasing tolerance for discomfort, and developing a more stable sense of self in social situations.

Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Social anxiety is more than being shy or uncomfortable around people. It can feel like constantly seeing yourself through someone else's eyes—monitoring what you're saying, how you're coming across, whether you're being judged, and replaying interactions long after they're over.
While avoidance can make social anxiety worse, we are also interested in understanding why being seen by other people feels so threatening in the first place. Beneath social anxiety we often find shame, fear of rejection, harsh self-criticism, painful earlier experiences, or a deeply held belief that something about you will be exposed and found unacceptable.
Our approach to social anxiety therapy combines psychodynamic and depth-oriented work with practical interventions when helpful. We explore where these fears came from, how they shape your relationships, and the ways avoidance or self-monitoring may unintentionally keep the anxiety alive. Exposure, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral strategies can also help you gradually build confidence and tolerate situations you've learned to fear.
The goal isn't to turn an introvert into an extrovert or teach you how to perform better socially. It's to help you become more comfortable being yourself in the presence of other people—without constantly watching, judging, or editing yourself.

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.
