Utilizing approaches from either DBT or CBT, the support for social anxiety focuses on building confidence, developing effective communication skills, challenging negative self-perceptions, and gradually reducing fear of social situations to foster meaningful connections and a sense of ease.

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
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.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Fatuma Dzilala
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel intimidating, leaving you overthinking conversations, worrying about judgment, or avoiding situations where you feel uncomfortable. I help women explore the thoughts and fears underlying their social anxiety, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in expressing themselves and connecting with others.

Social Anxiety
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.
