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.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Social anxiety often stems from deeper fears of judgment, rejection, or not being “enough.” These fears can lead to avoidance, overthinking, and intense self-monitoring in social situations. In therapy we work with both the psychological and nervous system patterns behind social anxiety, helping your body feel safer in connection so you can move through relationships with greater confidence and ease.

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.

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.
