Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
For treating social anxiety, I use a collaborative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we'll identify and challenge the negative thought patterns that fuel your anxiety in social situations. By gradually exposing you to feared situations in a safe and structured way, we work to reduce the power of those fears. Over time, this process helps you build confidence, improve your social skills, and foster a greater sense of control in interactions. Ultimately, my goal is to help you engage more freely and comfortably with others, improving your social experiences and overall well-being.

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.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
If you get very stressed about social situations, either before or after, you'll be spending a lot of energy and brain power on all your internal self-talk around this. Sometimes that can make you act awkwardly or not be able to be as natural and confident as you'd like to be. We can work on changing your self-talk together so that you are better able to be more in the moment and can be freer and more accepting of yourself.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It feels like we all have anxiety at this point, right? Especially after COVID - so let's get down to it. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in overcoming the symptoms of social anxiety - whether that is due to interacting in specific situations, more general public environments, or anything in between. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of overcoming social anxiety, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe and welcoming space where you can be open about your worries so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, intimidating, or even overwhelming. You might worry about being judged, embarrassed, or saying the “wrong” thing, leading you to avoid social situations, overthink conversations, or feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt. Over time, this can impact relationships, work, and your ability to feel confident and at ease around others. As a clinical psychologist, specializing in trauma, mood disorders and addiction, I help individuals understand and overcome social anxiety in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Together, we explore the underlying patterns that maintain anxiety, such as attachment anxiety, negative core beliefs about the self, fear of evaluation, and avoidance, and work toward building confidence and flexibility in social situations. My approach is integrative, utilizing evidence-based treatments, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and exposure therapy, while also incorporating depth oriented strategies to address root causes. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, helping you develop practical skills incrementally to navigate social interactions with greater ease and authenticity. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more comfortable being yourself, engage more fully in relationships, and approach social situations with increased confidence rather than fear.
