Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
I know the agony of social anxiety. I am, if you like, an expert in it. Which means, I can help you find compassion for yourself, and the gradual allowance of who and how you are in social life, and the expansion of a certain ease and freedom in this respect that can seem unthinkable at the beginning of the journey.

Different from generalized anxiety, social anxiety has specific catalysts and situations that cause it to heighten or worsen. There are methods that make lessening and managing those feelings of discomfort and overwhelm and minimize the catalysts so that you can feel like you are making the choices in your life, instead of feeling like anxiety is making all the choices for you.

Social Anxiety
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.
