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.

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.
