Rachele Epp
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, EMDRIA Certified Therapist™
Social anxiety can make social situations feel overwhelming, often leading to avoidance or fear of judgment. I can help you overcome this through exposure therapy, where we gradually face social situations to reduce anxiety. I use CBT, which helps challenge negative thoughts and build confidence, and EMDR, which processes past experiences that fuel anxiety. These approaches can empower you to feel more comfortable and in control in social settings.

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.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Social anxiety goes far deeper than shyness — it is a persistent, exhausting fear of judgment, embarrassment, or saying the wrong thing that can quietly shrink your world over time. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and high-achieving professionals navigate social anxiety disorder, performance anxiety, fear of judgment, public speaking anxiety, and the social avoidance that keeps so many capable people from fully engaging in their personal and professional lives. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure-based techniques, and psychodynamic insight, I help clients build genuine confidence and meaningful connection. Telehealth therapy for social anxiety available across 40+ states.
