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.

Brittany Bouffard, LCSW, CYT
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CYT
Social anxiety often arises after difficult or traumatic experiences growing up, where perhaps someone broke your trust, people were undependable, or no one helped you feel secure in social situations. You and your social anxiety are so worthy of therapy in order to branch confidently into the relationships and social spaces you seek. Please see my profile and website for much more about how to increase your confidence in connection.

Social 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.

Social Anxiety
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.

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.

Social 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.
