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.

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.

Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, exhausting, or even impossible. I work with adults who feel anxious in social situations, worry about being judged, or avoid activities they used to enjoy. Using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness-informed strategies, I help clients build confidence, reduce avoidance, and engage more fully in their lives. If social anxiety is keeping you from feeling connected or comfortable, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.
