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.

Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
People with social anxiety find it very hard to interact with others and will do whatever possible to avoid it. They constantly second guess themselves, and attribute any negative interaction to their own failure to relate. They also anticipate negative consequences even before attempting to interact. Luckily, through cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral techniques, you can overcome this problem.

Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Persistent and intense fears of being watched, judged, or evaluated negatively by others in social or performance situations are very different than feeling shy or nervous. The fears are often out of proportion to the actual threat the situation poses. Common triggers may include: meeting new people; starting conversations; dating; eating or drinking in front of others; being the center of attention. Many individuals either avoid such situations, or endure them with significant distress. Together, we can explore how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations reinforce each other when anxiety levels spike. Our goal will be to identify and challenge distorted beliefs, and then replace them with more accurate thoughts. In addition, reducing subtle avoidance tactics will help you come to realize that you can in fact handle these situations successfully.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Social anxiety can create intense feelings of fear or discomfort in social situations, affecting personal, professional, and social aspects of life. I help clients explore the underlying thoughts and beliefs that contribute to this anxiety while offering practical tools for managing fear and building confidence in social interactions. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure techniques, and mindfulness strategies, we work together to reduce avoidance behaviors, challenge negative self-talk, and develop more comfortable, authentic ways of engaging with others.
