LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
Social anxiety can be holding a client back from pursuing their life. I work with them to identify their issues and begin to get comfortable, little by little to address these issues. It takes time but the work pays off when a client can make the kind of change that can enhance their life.

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
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Social anxiety in teens gets read as shyness, or as rudeness, or as a kid who just doesn't want to try. What's usually happening is more specific: a constant, exhausting sense of being watched and evaluated, and a running tally of everything they might have gotten wrong. Some of it happens hours after the fact, replaying a conversation from lunch.
It shows up in the small refusals more than the big ones. Not ordering their own food. Not raising a hand when they know the answer. Skipping the party, then the practice, then the group project. Stomachaches on school mornings. Texting instead of calling, and eventually not doing either. Each avoidance brings relief in the moment and makes the next one harder, and that loop is what tends to shrink a teen's world over time.
I work with teens on both halves of it. We look at what's driving the fear, including anything in their history that taught them other people are unsafe to be seen by. And we work practically, at their pace, on moving toward the things they've been avoiding rather than around them, in steps small enough to actually take.
My approach is warm and non-pressuring, which matters especially here. A teen with social anxiety is already braced for judgment, and therapy that feels like one more performance will not go anywhere. The aim is that your teen gets to have a normal social life, not a perfectly comfortable one. Nervous and going anyway is the win.

Social Anxiety
Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Social anxiety is an area of specialty as it is an issue close to my heart. Therapy is a safe place to address all the fears associated with it and those fears can be deconstructed and new coping skills will be provided, enabling social situations to no longer cause anxiety.

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.
