Social Anxiety
Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
Many people experience social anxiety as a constant, 'hidden' soundtrack of self-criticism. I specialize in deconstructing the subconscious 'scripts' that tell you that you aren't enough or that judgment is inevitable. By integrating Dr.-level clinical insight with targeted trauma tools, we resolve the 'core negative beliefs' that fuel social avoidance and isolation. We don’t just manage your anxiety; we restore your inherent right to belong, helping you navigate everything from intimate gatherings to professional stages with genuine confidence.

Social Anxiety
Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to avoidance, isolation, and a diminished sense of confidence. As a therapist, I help individuals understand the thoughts, beliefs, and fears that fuel their anxiety in social situations. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to challenge negative thinking patterns and build healthier, more realistic self-perceptions. I also incorporate exposure therapy in a gradual, supportive way—helping clients face feared situations step by step, so they can gain confidence through real-world experiences. Over time, clients learn to manage their anxiety more effectively, increase their comfort in social settings, and engage more fully in life. My goal is to help you feel more connected, capable, and at ease with yourself and others.

Social Anxiety
Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety involves three components: cognitive (thinking), behavioral, and physiological. I can help you change your thinking to be more positive, yet accurate. Behavioral includes facing your social fears (the more you avoid, the more fearful you will be), as well as social skills. I'll help you learn social skills. Physiological means that dreaded fight flight response (heart pounding, blushing, sweating). I'll help you to stay relaxed when anxious. Believe it or not 95% of people are anxious in at least one social situation. Normalizing it and accepting it is another thing I am Abel (hahaha) to help you with.

Social Anxiety
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or emotionally drained, you're not alone. Social anxiety is more than shyness—it can involve an intense fear of being judged, criticized, rejected, or embarrassed. You may avoid speaking up in meetings, meeting new people, attending social events, or expressing your thoughts because you're worried about saying or doing the "wrong" thing. Over time, this fear can impact your relationships, career, confidence, and overall quality of life.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help you understand and overcome social anxiety. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, beliefs, and past experiences that contribute to your anxiety while developing practical tools to reduce fear and build confidence in social situations. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, exposure-based strategies, and trauma-informed care, we'll work to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, reduce self-criticism, regulate physical symptoms of anxiety, and strengthen your ability to navigate social interactions with greater ease. If past experiences such as bullying, emotional abuse, rejection, or trauma have contributed to your anxiety, EMDR may also be incorporated to help process those experiences and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.
Our goal isn't to change who you are or make you more outgoing than you want to be. Instead, therapy helps you feel more comfortable being your authentic self, communicate with greater confidence, establish healthy relationships, and participate more fully in the experiences that matter most to you. You deserve to live without constantly worrying about what others think. With the right support, you can develop lasting confidence, reduce anxiety, and create meaningful connections while staying true to yourself.

People with over-control seem to 'see threat everywhere.' Especially in social situations and relationships. RO DBT teaches about how our perceptions of threat may not match reality and how to behave in a manner that helps you feel safe and comfortable in social situations.
