Social Anxiety
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Social anxiety is a brain that treats human connection as danger — firing threat responses in social situations with the same intensity reserved for genuine emergencies, leaving the body flooded and the mind catastrophizing.
Neurofeedback retrains this misfiring alarm system, quieting the hyperactive circuits that convert social exposure into perceived threat. Over time, connection stops feeling dangerous — and the nervous system learns to experience other people as safe rather than something to survive.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
A number of people in this generation experience social anxiety. You are not alone in that. The reliance on social media, the effect of covid-era lockdowns, depression, anxiety and a general sense of low self-esteem can all be contributing factors to being in social situations that feel overwhelming. We can examine and determine the most reasonable ways to diminish or eliminate social anxiety through behavioral change, EMDR and talk therapy.

Matthew Weisskopf
Psychologist, PhD
I can assist clients with addressing social anxiety with cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. This approach addresses thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that often underlie social anxiety. When these factors are shifted in a positive direction, this can have significant benefits for social anxiety.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric illnesses affecting children and adults. Approximately, 40 million American adults suffer from anxiety disorders. Sadly, about one-third of those individuals suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment. Increase in public awareness is essential in informing the public that anxiety disorders are highly treatable.
If you experience anxiety that is persistent, seemingly uncontrollable, and overwhelming it may be indicative of an anxiety disorder. If it is an excessive, illogical fear of everyday situations, it can be disabling. When anxiety interferes with your daily activities, you may have an anxiety disorder.
Social anxiety may seem overwhelming and are stopping you from living your life in a manner that suits you, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Gratefully, many treatments and self-help strategies for social anxiety can help you significantly decrease your anxiety symptoms, manage anxiety attacks, and reclaim your life.
