Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In therapy, you will learn to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs about social situations. Utilizing the cognitive-behavioral techniques I will help you develop coping strategies for managing anxiety symptoms, such as relaxation techniques and gradual exposure to feared social situations. Additionally, therapy may focus on improving social skills and communication, building self-confidence, and addressing underlying issues such as low self-esteem or past traumas that contribute to social anxiety.

Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
While most of us place some value on our personal and professional reputations, what happens when we're in constant fear of these reputations being tarnished or attacked? For those with social anxiety disorders, the result is the avoidance of people, experiences and opportunities that could result in life’s enjoyment. If you have a social anxiety disorder, our shared goal will be to gradually confront these avoided situations. After experiencing each situation, your original thoughts will be reframed to match this experience rather than the feared worst-case scenario. You’ll also apply coping strategies that help you feel at ease while confronting situations. You may even learn to laugh at yourself, which is almost always a win.

Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. oo often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.
