Social Anxiety
Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety can make connection feel complicated. You may replay conversations afterward, worry about how you are being perceived, avoid situations you genuinely want to participate in, or spend so much energy monitoring yourself that it becomes difficult to simply be present.
Therapy can help us understand what maintains these patterns while gradually creating opportunities for greater flexibility and connection. We may explore avoidance, self-criticism, expectations, past relational experiences, boundaries, authenticity, and the beliefs you have developed about how you need to appear to others.
The goal is not necessarily to become more outgoing. It is to help social situations take up less emotional space and give you greater freedom to connect with others in ways that feel authentic to you.

Matthew Weisskopf
Psychologist, PhD
I can assist clients with addressing social anxiety with cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. This approach addresses thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that often underlie social anxiety. When these factors are shifted in a positive direction, this can have significant benefits for social anxiety.

Online in Visalia, CA
Visalia is the county seat of Tulare County in California's Central Valley, a region that is both one of the world's most productive agricultural areas and one of California's most underserved communities for mental health care, with a majority Latino population whose access to Spanish-language therapy is severely limited relative to need. The agricultural economy creates specific mental health challenges around seasonal employment, farmworker labor conditions, heat-related stress, and the immigration anxieties common across the San Joaquin Valley. Kaweah Health provides the primary hospital-based behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the more affluent parts of the population. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, agricultural and economic stress, immigration and family separation trauma, and the significant barriers to care created by language access issues and a shortage of Spanish-speaking therapists in a region where the majority of residents speak Spanish at home.
