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.

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.

Alison deLassus
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can be incredibly exhausting and frustrating, and it operates like a cycle - the more you avoid certain people/places, the more anxious you feel about those people/places. I specialize in helping people find freedom from the cycles of social anxiety and expand their lives again. I use a combination of IFS/ parts work, Exposure and Response Prevention, and DBT. This approach helps us build a toolbox of skills, while also deepening self-understanding and self-compassion.

Avery Wageman Passion Flower Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to fear of judgment, avoidance of social situations, or intense self-consciousness in conversations, work settings, or group environments. Over time, this can impact relationships, confidence, and opportunities for connection.
Avery provides a supportive and nonjudgmental space to help you understand the thoughts and fears that fuel social anxiety. Together, you’ll work on building coping strategies, gently challenging avoidance patterns, and developing greater confidence in social situations at a pace that feels manageable. The goal is to help you feel more comfortable, present, and authentic in your interactions with others.

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.
