Cait Glenn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The dread and anxiety bubble up anytime you think about having to interact in certain situations or with certain individuals. You can feel it in your chest and belly and all you want to do is retreat to where you feel safe and at peace. Feeling anxiety in social settings can be so challenging. You are not alone. I can help you begin to feel more calm and connection and most importantly help you be your authentic self in anxiety provoking situations.

Nancie Kohlenberger
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Some of us get anxious in social situations where we feel we have lost control. We tend to shy away from those situations. We can feel small and self-conscious. It is important to gain self-confidence so that social situations do not get the best of us. I utilize EMDR and EFT to support growth and a feeling of presence in these stressful situations.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I hope you can take a moment to celebrate your success in reaching out to start a new relationship. In working with social anxiety, we'll consider the exceptions in your life—the times when you have connected with strangers, when you’ve entered into a new social environment, when you’ve stayed longer at a social event. We’ll bring curiosity to what made those experiences exceptional for you. We’ll then bring those differences, as well as, newly learned skills into corrective experiences in the therapy room and the least risky environments for you outside of therapy. We will likely use EMDR and somatic therapy approaches to work through the engrained difficult messages and bodily experiences of social anxiety from your past to increase your confidence in your capacity for present and future social connections.

Social Anxiety can be debilitating. There are techniques and exercises that can be learned to help manage these symptoms. Once the symptoms are under control, we can delve into the underlying factors of the anxiety and pain.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Social Anxiety is a frequent presenting concern for clients. Often this results in and is perpetuated by avoidance of social situations, and quite frequently is accompanies by uncomfortable physiologic reactions in social situations experienced as threatening. Usually it is the avoidance of the threatening situations that prevent the person from becoming desensitized. On a very simple level, supporting my clients in developing effective ways to calm themselves such as through relaxation training, meditation, or even clinical hypnosis then can be used to help them be able to tolerate gradually increasing their exposure to the threatening situations. If desired, I can support clients in applying a behavioral approach to social anxiety using techniques such as systematic desensitization. Frequently too do I augment this with clinical hypnosis in preparing clients for successfully expanding their social activity. In other cases, working with the beliefs and expectations they have can be helpful using cognitive therapy, either formally or in a more conversational approach. A guiding principal I apply is to empower the client to be actively involved in planning the approach and to continually emphasize the choices they are making rather than have them experience themselves as passively participating in a treatment.
