Social Anxiety
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can be like nesting dolls: the anxiety and avoidance of social situations creates new problems to feel anxious about, and the challenges multiply. It helps to have a place to talk through what is making you anxious today while also working to understand how past experiences are contributing to present symptoms. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can learn techniques to reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Lisa Taylor-Austin
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, LMHC, CFMHE, CFBA, LCPC, LCMHC
Social anxiety responds very well to evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and gradual exposure. In our work together, we would take a thoughtful and structured approach—identifying the thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety while slowly building comfort and confidence in social situations. Over time, this process can help you feel more at ease, capable, and self-assured in your interactions with others.

Social Anxiety
Chananya Abraham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, MS, LPC
I work with individuals struggling with social anxiety by helping them understand the fear patterns, self-critical thinking, and nervous system responses that make social situations feel overwhelming. Together, we build practical skills to regulate anxiety, challenge distorted beliefs about judgment or rejection, and gradually increase confident engagement in social and professional settings. My goal is to help clients move from avoidance to presence, developing genuine confidence rather than performing or hiding.

Social Anxiety
Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is very common and very painful. Even though social anxiety is a common condition, each of us feels it in our own way. I have learned that social anxiety can best be treated with a combination of individual therapy and group therapy. At the beginning of individual therapy people are often reluctant to join a group. But even if you never choose to engage in group therapy, individual therapy can help. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with social anxiety.

Social Anxiety
Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Please also see the description under 'anxiety or fears'. Social anxiety can hamper the trajectory of life- not meeting people you could have met, not having friends that could have been there for you, and reinforcing anxiety in all its forms while increasing isolation. It is tied to self-judgment, fear of embarrassment, endless 'playbacks' of conversations in the mind, and memories of other situations. But like anxiety in general, it is something that can be overcome. Sometimes we find that what we think of as scary to the point of being unapproachable is much more tame and harmless than we expected, once we get a closer look at the thing we fear.
