Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Children and adolescents suffer intense distress when affected by social anxiety. They can manifest their discomfort by avoiding anxiety-inducing situations whenever anxiety feelings are triggered.
Young kids can express their discomfort by a rapid change in mood, tantrums, and crying; older ones may experience panic reactions and physical signs like shortness of breath shaking, sweating, stomachaches and nausea.
One of the most significant consequences of social anxiety is that it can prevent individuals from taking risks and trying new things, ultimately blocking them from reaching their full potential.
Talking to a therapist about their feelings and learning techniques to deal with social anxiety allows kids to feel less overwhelmed, less upset and scared, and eventually more in control of themselves and their environment

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety can be painful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. I understand why this is one of people's top fears. Talking in therapy about the worries you have and learning new ways to practice social skills as well as learning more accurate self talk and self appraisal can increase confidence and improve your social life.

Ellen Ronka
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC
The root of social anxiety is shame, which is a lack of belief in your own worth. I am excellent in teaching clients how to recognize shame and then train their brains out of it. It is simply a persistent style of relating to yourself, and like any relationship, you can change it. Your self-worth is a fact, you just need to align your beliefs with that fact. We can use alternative healing techniques to help you with this, including energy psychology methods for addressing earlier experiences that set you up for this type of anxiety.

Emerge Counseling Solutions, LLC - Liz Overpeck
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MA
Social anxiety is a commonly occurring mental health issue, but one that many people and providers do not understand. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help you reshape thinking patterns and particular behaviors in order to create new adaptive experiences and new beliefs which reduce anxiety and increase connection.
