Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Maureen J Gallagher
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel daunting, from speaking up in a meeting to meeting new people or simply being noticed. You may replay conversations afterward, worry about being judged, or avoid situations you actually long to enjoy. Often the body reacts first, with a flushed face, racing heart, tight throat, or an urge to disappear. Somatic work helps you track these reactions in the moment and gradually teach your nervous system that connection can feel safe. Through embodied parts work, we listen to the parts of you that fear rejection or embarrassment, and to the protective parts that pull you back, with patience and care. As these parts begin to trust that you can handle being seen, many clients feel more at ease with others and more free to show up as themselves.

Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
Brian W. Keating
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Similar to social isolation, therapy can be a powerful first intervention for working through symptoms of social anxiety. Many of my patients choose to join a therapy group after seeing progress in their individual therapy to further connect with others who have similar anxieties.
