Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
People with social anxiety find it very hard to interact with others and will do whatever possible to avoid it. They constantly second guess themselves, and attribute any negative interaction to their own failure to relate. They also anticipate negative consequences even before attempting to interact. Luckily, through cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral techniques, you can overcome this problem.

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
