Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a haven for those who find themselves shadowed by social anxiety. I understand the quiet turmoil of feeling perpetually on the outside, the racing heart in social situations, and the persistent fear of judgment. With empathy and gentle guidance, I work alongside my clients to unravel the complex emotions and thoughts that fuel their anxiety. Our journey together focuses on building confidence, developing coping strategies, and gently stretching the boundaries of comfort zones. It's about transforming the fear of connection into a celebration of your unique self in the social tapestry, enabling you to step into the world with a newfound sense of belonging and ease.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social Anxiety can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure. This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for social anxiety available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create social and emotional distress while simultaneously resist acting on urges to avoiding such interactions. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming urges to avoid them. People with social anxiety are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

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.
