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.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Social anxiety can make conversations, gatherings, work situations, or even everyday interactions feel overwhelming. Fear of judgment, rejection, embarrassment, or saying the wrong thing may lead to avoidance and self-criticism, even when you deeply want connection.
I help clients understand the roots of social anxiety, challenge harsh beliefs, calm physical symptoms, and gradually approach feared situations with greater confidence. Through compassionate support and practical strategies, we work to strengthen self-acceptance, communication, and the freedom to be present with others without constantly questioning your worth.
