Centerpoint Healing; Raphaelle Cuenod
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can involve intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, avoidance of social situations, and physical symptoms such as blushing, sweating, nausea, shakiness, or a racing heart. For highly sensitive people, these experiences may feel especially overwhelming due to heightened emotional and sensory awareness. We help you develop nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and self-trust to
support greater confidence, authenticity, and ease in social connection.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people experience everyday social situations as draining rather than energizing, which affects everything from workplace dynamics to personal relationships. I help clients understand their social energy patterns and develop strategies that honor their natural temperament while building confidence. We focus on distinguishing between realistic social concerns and anxiety-driven thoughts, creating sustainable approaches to social connection.

Naya Clinics Denver
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselors
Anxiety is a state of feeling afraid of a future, unknown, or ambiguous threat. It is often characterized by certain physiological symptoms, along with doubt concerning the nature of the threat and our ability to handle it. Some anxiety is a normal part of life. In fact, it is necessary for our survival and peak performance. After all, the anxiety you feel before an interview or a performance can motivate you to be prepared, vigilant, and focused. However, if anxiety persists beyond the threat or challenge, it begins to lose its benefits. An unhealthy level of anxiety can paralyze you and leave you unable to function in the most basic tasks. If your anxiety is persisting and getting worse, this could qualify as an anxiety disorder, and you should consider counseling for anxiety.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with thoughtful, high‑achieving adults, often sensitive or highly self‑aware, who struggle with social anxiety. You may care deeply about connection but find that being around others brings up a lot of worry, overthinking, or dread. On the outside, you may seem capable and composed; inside, it can feel like a constant evaluation of how you are coming across. Social anxiety can feel like living in your head while your body is in the room. I work extensively with social anxiety in high‑responsibility adults and know how consuming it can feel, even when no one else sees it.
It can look like replaying conversations and worrying you said the wrong thing; avoiding gatherings, calls, or new situations because they feel too intense; fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen as awkward or boring; difficulty speaking up in groups, at work, or in class; feeling like you do not quite know the rules that other people seem to follow; or wanting close relationships but pulling back when things get more vulnerable. Over time, this can lead to isolation, loneliness, or feeling stuck in patterns you do not want.
In our work together, we get curious about where this started and how it shows up now. We make room for the part of you that is trying to keep you safe by staying small or hidden. From there, we explore small, doable steps toward more ease and authenticity with the people and situations that matter most to you, so you do not have to choose between protecting yourself and having the connections you want.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so you don't feel rejected or stupid? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how.

Aurora is one of Colorado's most ethnically diverse cities and home to Buckley Space Force Base, creating a therapy community shaped by both military families and a remarkably multicultural civilian population that includes large communities from East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The city's proximity to Denver and its own rapidly expanding healthcare sector — anchored by Children's Hospital Colorado and UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus — give it significant institutional mental health resources and a large population of healthcare workers navigating occupational stress. Therapists experienced with military trauma, refugee resettlement, and bicultural identity serve distinct and important roles in Aurora's clinical landscape. The city's rapid growth has accelerated demand for therapists who specialize in life transitions and the challenges of building community in a fast-changing suburban environment.
