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.

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.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, yet alone trying to make sense of the world around them.
I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

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.

Romina Schnelle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel intimidating, leading to intense worry about being judged, embarrassed, or rejected. You may avoid social situations, overanalyze conversations, or feel exhausted from trying to appear "perfect" around others. Together, we'll explore the underlying factors contributing to your anxiety and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident and comfortable in social settings. Using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR when appropriate, my goal is to help you reduce anxiety, build self-confidence, and engage more fully in the relationships and experiences that matter to you.
