Interfacing with other people can sometimes feel daunting. As we get to explore and understand where these fears are emanating from, huge changes can be made in people's lives. I help people to confront the dynamics that created the anxiety around other people.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You may appear composed in social or professional settings, but inside, you’re second-guessing every interaction or avoiding connection altogether. Social anxiety in high-achieving individuals is often masked by success and control. I help clients move beyond self-doubt and fear of judgment—toward more ease, presence, and authentic confidence in both personal and professional relationships.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Social anxiety often involves more than fear of other people. It can create a painful sense of being watched from the outside, as though every interaction requires careful management of how you appear. Over time, this can make relationships feel more like performances than places of genuine contact. Our work can help you understand where that imagined gaze came from and why it carries so much authority, making it easier to be with others without constantly leaving yourself to wonder how you are being seen.

Social Anxiety
David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
So often shame and social anxiety are tied together. It has been said that "It is a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be found". I find this to be very true. We all desire closeness and intimacy, however, often when we experience conditional worth, shame based parenting and other traumas early in our lives, we can naturally develop a fear of people. Social anxiety is to be afraid of being ourselves for fear of rejection or some other shame/imperfection. Learning to love ourselves, heal from the shame, and reclaim our birthright of belonging is the work.

Thousand Oaks is a Ventura County city long regarded as one of the safest in California, and it was this reputation that made the 2018 Borderline Bar & Grill mass shooting—in which twelve people were killed at a country music bar—particularly traumatic for the community, with the city's mental health landscape profoundly shaped by the ongoing collective grief of that event. The shooting occurred just days before the Woolsey Fire swept through parts of the surrounding area, compounding the trauma with disaster-related grief, and many local therapists have developed specialized expertise in mass casualty trauma, community grief, and the challenges of healing a community that did not expect to need such help. The city also has a significant veteran and military family population from nearby bases, and veteran-specific mental health services complement the broader private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include trauma and PTSD, community grief, climate and wildfire anxiety, and the general anxiety and parenting stress common in an affluent suburban community, with the 2018 events adding a distinctive and ongoing layer of collective psychological need.
