Social Anxiety
Roanne de Guia-Samuels
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CChT
Social anxiety is more than just being shy—it can feel like your body is constantly on alert, making you second-guess yourself, overthink conversations, or avoid situations that matter to you. My approach goes beyond building confidence by helping you understand what your nervous system is trying to protect you from. Using somatic therapy, and practical coping strategies, we'll work together to help your body feel safer so you can show up more fully in your relationships, work, and everyday life.

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.

Social Anxiety
Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I approach social anxiety through a relational and nervous system lens, recognizing that fear, self-consciousness, and avoidance often develop as protective responses to experiences of feeling unsafe, disconnected, or misunderstood. Therapy focuses on creating a space of relational safety where clients can better understand their responses, build confidence, and gradually develop a greater sense of comfort and connection in relationships and social situations.

Social Anxiety
David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
So often shame and social anxiety are tied together. It has been said that "It is a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be found". I find this to be very true. We all desire closeness and intimacy, however, often when we experience conditional worth, shame based parenting and other traumas early in our lives, we can naturally develop a fear of people. Social anxiety is to be afraid of being ourselves for fear of rejection or some other shame/imperfection. Learning to love ourselves, heal from the shame, and reclaim our birthright of belonging is the work.
