Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Social anxiety can often feel like an unwelcome burden and that it keeps life more limited than you would like. I will support you in reliving these symptoms through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to first build tools to better manage symptoms in the present and will follow that with psychodynamic work to support greater insight and lasting change.

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.
