Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Social Anxiety feels like a prison. It's too difficult to be your authentic self, and you feel lonely - but it's preferred over how it feels to be around other people. Informed by my own experience with social anxiety, what we will uncover is that social anxiety is a set of learned behaviors and social conditioning - which can be unlearned and unconditioned. If you're ready to stop being at war with your own nervous system - lets get to work!

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, overwhelming, or even paralyzing. Whether it’s fear of judgment, discomfort in groups, or avoidance of social situations, these patterns often stem from past experiences, attachment wounds, or self-critical beliefs. In therapy, we provide a safe, supportive space to explore these fears, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical coping skills. With Christ-centered guidance, clients learn to build confidence, deepen connection with others, and engage in life with greater ease, courage, and emotional freedom.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety has a way of shutting everything down. We were made for connection and when we can't engage in a conversation, a relationship, or a social gathering the way we want to we often begin to isolate completely to avoid the tough feelings that arise when we feel we can't connect. In our work together I will help you overcome your anxious thoughts, feelings, and negative beliefs. Together we will explore where the anxiety comes from, why the anxiety exists and how to transcend the anxious feelings.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or emotionally drained, you're not alone. Social anxiety is more than shyness—it can involve an intense fear of being judged, criticized, rejected, or embarrassed. You may avoid speaking up in meetings, meeting new people, attending social events, or expressing your thoughts because you're worried about saying or doing the "wrong" thing. Over time, this fear can impact your relationships, career, confidence, and overall quality of life.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help you understand and overcome social anxiety. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, beliefs, and past experiences that contribute to your anxiety while developing practical tools to reduce fear and build confidence in social situations. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, exposure-based strategies, and trauma-informed care, we'll work to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, reduce self-criticism, regulate physical symptoms of anxiety, and strengthen your ability to navigate social interactions with greater ease. If past experiences such as bullying, emotional abuse, rejection, or trauma have contributed to your anxiety, EMDR may also be incorporated to help process those experiences and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.
Our goal isn't to change who you are or make you more outgoing than you want to be. Instead, therapy helps you feel more comfortable being your authentic self, communicate with greater confidence, establish healthy relationships, and participate more fully in the experiences that matter most to you. You deserve to live without constantly worrying about what others think. With the right support, you can develop lasting confidence, reduce anxiety, and create meaningful connections while staying true to yourself.
