Social Anxiety therapists in Altamonte Springs, Florida FL

My approach with social anxiety is understanding your symptoms from a holistic perspective. We will learn triggers for your anxiety, ways to reduce exposure, and how to face things head on with new coping skills. We will use somatic-based mindfulness practices to connect to the physical sensations for a deeper understanding.  

Social anxiety is a commonly occurring mental health issue, but one that many people and providers do not understand. I have developed a clinical specialty in this area and am ready to help you address feelings of shame, isolation, fear, and disconnection. I provide a unique, multi-layered approach which utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure activities such as group therapy, assertiveness training, acceptance based behavioral therapies, and treatment for other co-existing mental health problems which may also be contributing to your social anxiety. I'm passionate about this work and can't wait to help you feel the victory of being at peace with yourself and with others!  

My goal when working with clients suffering from social anxiety is to give them the tools they need to be able to manage their debilitating anxiety and function successfully in society.  

You want to connect with other people, but it's just so, so hard. You question every interaction, every word that comes out of your mouth. I've been in your shoes, and I help you learn new tools to manage and reduce your fears around social interactions, challenge negative thinking patterns that keep you stuck in the same cycle, and finally engage with others the way you have always wanted.  

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) represents major modality of treatment to overcome social anxiety and stress. In addition, mindfulness plays a role in my therapeutic approach. Seligman and Reichenberg (2014) provide profound insight as to how best to accomplish these goals namely: (a) employing effective and well-conceived Socratic questions, (b) helping the client to establish a clear framework of his/her perceptions and thoughts and (c) helping the client to reframe such perceptions and thoughts where negative cognitions exist.  

All staff are trained in working with social anxiety.  

What we think creates our feelings... learn how to identify unhelpful thoughts and create new awareness about yourself and those around you.
