Dr. Felicia Jackson
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel like a performance you're afraid of getting wrong. You might replay conversations afterward, worry about what others think of you, or avoid situations where you could feel embarrassed or judged. Therapy can help you step out of the cycle of overthinking and avoidance, become more comfortable with the possibility of awkward moments, and engage with others more freely and confidently.
