Social Anxiety
Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming—whether it's speaking up in meetings, attending social gatherings, meeting new people, or even making small talk. The fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected can lead to avoidance that limits your personal and professional life, leaving you feeling isolated and frustrated.
I specialize in helping clients overcome social anxiety using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the most effective evidence-based treatment for this condition. Together, we'll identify the anxious thoughts that fuel your fear—beliefs like "everyone will think I'm stupid" or "I'll embarrass myself"—and learn to challenge and reframe them with more realistic, balanced thinking. My goal is to help you engage more fully in life—to pursue opportunities, build meaningful connections, and feel comfortable being yourself in social situations. Social anxiety is highly treatable, and with the right tools and support, you can experience genuine freedom and confidence.

Social Anxiety
Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
Social anxiety can make you feel like everyone is watching or judging you, even when they are not. You may replay conversations, worry about saying the wrong thing, or avoid situations altogether. Therapy can help you understand those patterns and feel more confident in social situations.

Social Anxiety
Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety often develops from experiences of rejection, criticism, or feeling unsafe in relationships. It was not simply "shyness" but a protective response rooted in fear of judgment or harm. Therapy helps you understand the origins of these fears while building internal safety and confidence in relational spaces.
