Social Anxiety
Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Social anxiety can be very uncomfortable to live with and can lead to feeling isolated or depressed. In addition to avoiding social situations or being very anxious beforehand, people suffering from social anxiety often think the worst afterwards. They tend to judge themselves, second guess themselves or 'beat themselves up' recycling an interaction over and over in their thoughts. In therapy, I teach clients methods to relieve their anxious thoughts, feelings and body sensations. I also support them with do-able step by step actions which lead to solutions of their social anxiety and avoidance. I offer online and phone sessions which can be more comfortable than in person sessions for people with social anxiety, as you don't have to travel to sessions or sit in an office waiting room.

Xandra Hawes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel heavy, draining, or filled with self-doubt. In our work together, we explore the root causes beneath the anxiety, including nervous-system sensitivity, attachment wounds, or fear of being truly seen. Using somatic techniques, exposure therapy, and self-compassion practices, you begin to feel safer in your body and more confident in connection. Over time, social interactions become opportunities for authenticity rather than moments of fear or overthinking

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety affects many people throughout the world, especially the ones that grew up in unhealthy dynamics at home and who may have learned that the world is an untrustworthy and/or scary place. Social anxiety lives in the body and in the nervous system so we will use approaches that target the nervous system specifically to help unwind any material that is resting there. When the body and nervous system release this material, we very often feel better and less overwhelmed in daily life, especially in social situations.

Megan Ramos
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC
We all have a need to feel connected. When we have social anxiety, it can be hard to feel safe and at ease in the presence of others. I help people connect with the wisdom in their anxiety, while also building safety to connect with and support what's underneath that the anxiety may be protecting. Over time, more ease in connecting with others can build.

Chris Davis
Counselor/Therapist, M.A.
Social anxiety can create an exhausting amount of self-monitoring—wondering how you are coming across, anticipating rejection, replaying interactions, or avoiding situations altogether. I help clients explore what happens internally in these moments and the protective patterns that have developed around them. Over time, therapy can help create greater tolerance for vulnerability and uncertainty so that connection becomes less governed by fear.

From there, we help you connect with others in ways that work for you, without forcing you to become someone you're not.

Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
I suffered from severe social anxiety for many years. It used to ruin my life. I also had severe blushing. I could not find therapists to help me. Finally with a combination of different therapies and research I was able to resolve my blushing and to put an end to my social anxiety and blushing. Today I specialize in resolving social anxiety, blushing and trauma. If you suffer this way, please schedule a free 15-30 minute complimentary session and let's discuss how I can help you. I see people here in Boulder, CO and by zoom from all over the world.

David Redbord
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MPH, LPCC
Social anxiety is where you feel very anxious when interacting with others and/or when you’re out in public.
It can keep you from creating meaningful connections with others because you’re so caught up in the anxiety.
The key to working with social anxiety is to work through the anxiety so you can come back to presence. If you can relax your nervous system, you’ll be able to create more meaningful, fulfilling connections with others.
I use mindfulness techniques to help clients work through social anxiety and come back to presence so they can connect effectively with others.
I’d welcome the opportunity to help you work through social anxiety and come back to presence and connection. Please reach out to see how we can work together.

Boulder is home to the University of Colorado Boulder and has one of the highest educational attainment rates and most progressive cultures of any American city, with exceptional access to therapy—CU's graduate programs produce many trained clinicians—alongside the specific pressures of a city with extreme housing costs, intense social comparison around physical fitness and achievement, and a large university student population. The 2021 King Soopers mass shooting created community-level trauma that remains present in Boulder's collective consciousness, and local therapists have significant experience with trauma-informed care. The city's outdoor recreation culture and emphasis on wellness are genuine assets but can also create pressure around physical appearance and lifestyle perfection that feeds anxiety and disordered eating. Common therapy concerns include academic perfectionism, housing insecurity anxiety, trauma, the psychological pressure of an exceptionally high-achieving and health-conscious culture, and student mental health.
