Isaiah Whisner
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT #154057
Social anxiety can cause untold distress in your life and make it so that social interactions feel stressful and paralyzing, which can make you avoid socializing altogether. Through therapy you can figure out what is causing your social anxiety, clear out negative interactions, trauma, and experiences that may be contributing to the social anxiety you feel and gain confidence to enter social settings without anxiety/fear.

My Serenity Mental Wellness
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMFT
Social anxiety can feel like your body and mind are working against you. Maybe your heart races, your voice feels shaky, or your thoughts spiral about being judged. It can make school, work, friendships, or even everyday conversations feel overwhelming. In therapy, we help you understand where this fear comes from, quiet the self-doubt, and practice skills to feel calmer and more confident in social situations. The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you connect with others without the constant weight of fear.

Romina Schnelle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, overwhelming, or even impossible, leaving you feeling isolated or misunderstood. As a Latina therapist offering online therapy in California and Nevada, I provide a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space where you can explore the roots of social anxiety and develop practical strategies for connection and confidence.
Using EMDR therapy alongside trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming approaches, I help clients process past experiences, challenge self-doubt, and gradually build comfort and ease in social situations. Together, we’ll work on reducing fear, strengthening self-trust, and fostering authentic connection with others.
You don’t have to navigate social anxiety alone. Reach out today for online therapy in California or Nevada and take the first step toward feeling seen, heard, and confident in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition that can make it hard for individuals to fully participate in social situations. As a therapist, I understand the impact that social anxiety can have on one's life and I specialize in helping individuals manage symptoms of social anxiety to foster well-being through the use of evidence-based therapies such as prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Together, we will work to identify the triggers of your anxiety and develop effective strategies to manage them. We will explore the underlying causes of your social anxiety and use cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back. And, using prolonged exposure therapy, we will work to desensitize you to the feared situations, ultimately leading to a reduction of symptoms.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your social anxiety and to help you build a brighter, more fulfilling future for yourself. I will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to work through your struggles and find solutions that work for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards a better tomorrow.
