Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety has a way of shutting everything down. We were made for connection and when we can't engage in a conversation, a relationship, or a social gathering the way we want to we often begin to isolate completely to avoid the tough feelings that arise when we feel we can't connect. In our work together I will help you overcome your anxious thoughts, feelings, and negative beliefs. Together we will explore where the anxiety comes from, why the anxiety exists and how to transcend the anxious feelings.

Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You may feel that others are closely watching you in social situations. You may overthink what you say or do which makes sense because you may also be thinking about how others have interacted with you. In our work, it will be important to understand the roots of your anxiety and what your anxiety is trying to protect you from now. Then to find a deeper truth and strength that allows you to move towards discomfort knowing that you are capable and worthy.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Social anxiety in teens gets read as shyness, or as rudeness, or as a kid who just doesn't want to try. What's usually happening is more specific: a constant, exhausting sense of being watched and evaluated, and a running tally of everything they might have gotten wrong. Some of it happens hours after the fact, replaying a conversation from lunch.
It shows up in the small refusals more than the big ones. Not ordering their own food. Not raising a hand when they know the answer. Skipping the party, then the practice, then the group project. Stomachaches on school mornings. Texting instead of calling, and eventually not doing either. Each avoidance brings relief in the moment and makes the next one harder, and that loop is what tends to shrink a teen's world over time.
I work with teens on both halves of it. We look at what's driving the fear, including anything in their history that taught them other people are unsafe to be seen by. And we work practically, at their pace, on moving toward the things they've been avoiding rather than around them, in steps small enough to actually take.
My approach is warm and non-pressuring, which matters especially here. A teen with social anxiety is already braced for judgment, and therapy that feels like one more performance will not go anywhere. The aim is that your teen gets to have a normal social life, not a perfectly comfortable one. Nervous and going anyway is the win.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for treating social anxiety by helping individuals overcome the fear and discomfort associated with social situations. Through relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapists support clients in accessing subconscious beliefs that contribute to anxiety, enabling them to reframe negative self-perceptions and develop greater confidence. This approach may reduce physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat or sweating, and promote calmer, more adaptive responses in social settings. Integrated with other therapies, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to build self-assurance and engage more comfortably in social interactions.
