Nick Worstell
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I offer a safe and understanding space where individuals can explore their concerns and develop effective strategies for managing social anxiety. Through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and social skills training, I empower clients to confront their fears, challenge negative thought patterns, and build confidence in social settings. With a focus on gradual, personalized steps toward growth, my goal is to help clients cultivate greater self-assurance, improve interpersonal relationships, and ultimately thrive in social environments. Together, we embark on a journey toward a future where social anxiety no longer holds sway and authentic connection and fulfillment become attainable realities.

Neurofeedback Clinic of Northern Colorado
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Social anxiety can feel isolating, but our compassionate approach helps you build confidence in social situations. We combine client-centered exploration of underlying fears and self-perceptions with gradual exposure techniques tailored to your comfort level. Neurofeedback addresses the heightened physiological arousal that accompanies social situations, training your nervous system toward calmer responses. Together, we challenge negative self-judgments, develop authentic social skills, and help you discover that connection with others can be rewarding rather than threatening.

Glenn Permar
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
For many high-functioning adults, social anxiety isn’t about lacking skills, it’s about a nervous system that shifts into high alert around evaluation or uncertainty. Conversations can trigger overthinking, self-monitoring, or replaying interactions afterward. I help adults reduce that internal tension so connection feels less draining and more natural. In therapy, we focus on calming those stress responses, loosening rigid expectations, and helping you engage with more steadiness and less internal pressure.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Social anxiety goes far deeper than shyness — it is a persistent, exhausting fear of judgment, embarrassment, or saying the wrong thing that can quietly shrink your world over time. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and high-achieving professionals navigate social anxiety disorder, performance anxiety, fear of judgment, public speaking anxiety, and the social avoidance that keeps so many capable people from fully engaging in their personal and professional lives. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure-based techniques, and psychodynamic insight, I help clients build genuine confidence and meaningful connection. Telehealth therapy for social anxiety available across 40+ states.

Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University and has a strong outdoor recreation culture anchored by the Rocky Mountain foothills, giving the city a relatively young, health-conscious population with a generally positive attitude toward therapy and mental health support. Demand for therapy is shaped by student needs at CSU, the stresses of a growing tech and craft brewing economy, and the challenges of a housing market that has grown significantly more expensive as the city's population has surged. Common therapy concerns include academic and career stress, relationship and life transition issues, anxiety, and the particular mental health challenges of a rapidly growing community where longtime residents and newcomers are still finding their footing. Fort Collins has a well-developed private therapy sector relative to its size, and CSU's counseling center serves the significant student population.
