J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, overwhelming, or exhausting. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying about being judged, avoiding social situations, or feeling self-conscious even in routine interactions. Therapy can help you understand the thoughts and patterns that fuel anxiety, build confidence in social settings, and develop practical strategies for managing discomfort. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel more comfortable being yourself, strengthening self-confidence, and creating more meaningful connections with others.

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.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Social anxiety often stems from deeper fears of judgment, rejection, or not being “enough.” These fears can lead to avoidance, overthinking, and intense self-monitoring in social situations. In therapy we work with both the psychological and nervous system patterns behind social anxiety, helping your body feel safer in connection so you can move through relationships with greater confidence and ease.

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!

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, but hypnosis offers a powerful way to find calm and confidence from within. Through hypnotherapy, we quiet the inner critic, ease anxious thoughts, and strengthen your sense of comfort and authenticity around others. Each session helps reprogram the subconscious mind to support self-trust and genuine connection. I offer virtual hypnosis sessions to help you feel more at ease, confident, and free to be yourself.
