Averill Hovey
Art Therapist, MA, MA, LPC-S, ATR-BC, EMDR
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, leaving you replaying conversations, worrying about how you are perceived, avoiding situations you wish you could enjoy, or feeling as though you need to carefully manage how you show up around others. Over time, this can interfere with relationships, work, school, and your ability to feel comfortable being yourself.
I approach social anxiety with curiosity and compassion, exploring not only anxious thoughts but also the emotions, physical sensations, past experiences, and patterns that may be contributing to them. Drawing from art therapy, Gestalt and experiential approaches, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and attachment-informed work, I help clients develop greater awareness of their anxiety while finding practical and creative ways to respond to it.
Together, we can work toward quieting self-criticism, increasing confidence and self-trust, and gradually expanding your ability to engage with people and experiences that matter to you. The goal is not to become a different person, but to feel increasingly free to be yourself in the presence of others.

A Different Lens Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, NCC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming — worrying about how you’re perceived, replaying conversations, or avoiding social situations altogether. I help clients understand the thoughts, fears, and body responses that fuel social anxiety while developing practical skills for navigating relationships, work, and social settings with more ease. Through a mix of CBT, mindfulness, compassion-based strategies, and gentle exposure work, we build confidence step by step so you can show up more fully in your life without fear holding you back.

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.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients manage their social anxiety. People can be unpredictable and rejecting. For someone that is different, who struggles to pick up on subtle social cues, or who has social communication differences, interacting with others can be tiring and painful. Yet, so many of us are social creatures and get lonely. I enjoy helping clients build a supportive community, find their tribe, and feel more confident interacting with others.
