Beth Clardy Lewis
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming or unsafe. I help clients understand their triggers, build emotional regulation skills, and practice confidence in real-world scenarios. Through structured therapy and supportive coaching, we reduce avoidance and increase empowerment. You’ll gain tools that help you show up authentically — without fear running the show.

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.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety involves three components: cognitive (thinking), behavioral, and physiological. I can help you change your thinking to be more positive, yet accurate. Behavioral includes facing your social fears (the more you avoid, the more fearful you will be), as well as social skills. I'll help you learn social skills. Physiological means that dreaded fight flight response (heart pounding, blushing, sweating). I'll help you to stay relaxed when anxious. Believe it or not 95% of people are anxious in at least one social situation. Normalizing it and accepting it is another thing I am Abel (hahaha) to help you with.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Social anxiety can leave you replaying conversations, worrying about how others perceive you, or avoiding situations that matter to you. We'll explore the fears and beliefs that fuel those patterns with curiosity rather than self-criticism, recognizing that they often developed for understandable reasons. As therapy progresses, you'll learn more flexible ways of responding to anxious thoughts so they have less influence over your choices. My hope is to help you feel more present, confident, and authentic in your relationships.

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.
