Social Anxiety
Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
Different from generalized anxiety, social anxiety has specific catalysts and situations that cause it to heighten or worsen. There are methods that make lessening and managing those feelings of discomfort and overwhelm and minimize the catalysts so that you can feel like you are making the choices in your life, instead of feeling like anxiety is making all the choices for you.

Social Anxiety
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.
