TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Feeling overwhelmed? Stressed? Panicked? You’re not alone! My goal is to teach you how to understand what social anxiety is from a biological and psychological standpoint, how to navigate anxiety socially, and collaborate with you on how to best manage anxiety in all its forms.
I Will Help You:
Identify thoughts and scenarios that invite anxious feelings in.
Understand what anxiety is, how it can help you, and how it hurts you if you aren't careful.
Navigate social situations with a sense of calm and content.
Connect with others in a meaningful and natural way.
Gain clarity on what’s keeping you stuck, so you can make choices that are right for you.
Connect with your intuition, and learn to listen to it.
Clearly set and maintain boundaries in a way that is kind to yourself and others.
Confidently ask for what you want, and declare what you need — without feeling guilty.
Develop a strong, positive sense of self that is balanced and well-rounded.
You are too great of a person to keep all to yourself!

Regina Lazarovich
Psychologist, PhD
If you experience intense anxiety in social situations you may be struggling with social anxiety disorder (social phobia). Social anxiety is the fear of judgment from others, whether it’s new people, authority figures, romantic interests, friends, acquaintances or strangers. This can make it difficult to do things like make friends, ask for a raise, go on dates, attend parties, or give speeches.
With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ll teach you skills for working with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so you can reclaim your life from anxiety and move towards the nourishing connections you crave.

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have experience supporting clients in identifying where their social anxiety began and what limiting/self-defeating thoughts are linked to the challenges. From there, we will implement EMDR and/or IFS work to further explore and support the issues in order to help you live your life with more social freedoms.

Nancie Kohlenberger
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Some of us get anxious in social situations where we feel we have lost control. We tend to shy away from those situations. We can feel small and self-conscious. It is important to gain self-confidence so that social situations do not get the best of us. I utilize EMDR and EFT to support growth and a feeling of presence in these stressful situations.
