Social Anxiety
Hannah Shevitz
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCMH, NCC, M.S.
Social anxiety often shows up not only in thoughts but also in the body, through tension, restlessness, or a racing heart. I help clients explore how past experiences, relational patterns, and internalized expectations shape these fears, while also developing tools to feel safer and more grounded in social situations. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, paced to your readiness, and focused on supporting growth, connection, and self confidence.

Social Anxiety
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals struggling with social anxiety, fear of judgment, and difficulty feeling comfortable or confident in social and professional settings. With extensive clinical experience treating anxiety across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping reduce reactivity and increase a sense of calm and control. Together, we build confidence, strengthen communication, and learn how to become more comfortable with the inherent lack of control in social environments, supporting more authentic and relaxed engagement.

Social Anxiety
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
Social anxiety is more than shyness—it’s the persistent fear of judgment, exposure, or saying the wrong thing that leads to avoidance, over-monitoring, or withdrawal. Many high-functioning men manage work and responsibilities well while quietly avoiding social situations, speaking up, or forming deeper connections.
Therapy for social anxiety focuses on reducing threat sensitivity, unlearning self-critical patterns, and building steady confidence in real-world interactions. With structured, evidence-based work, men learn to engage socially without overthinking, regain ease around others, and show up more fully in professional and personal settings.

Social Anxiety
Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.
