Social Anxiety
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.

David Essel, M.S., O.M.
Counselor/Therapist, Master's Degree Psychology, Ordained All Faiths Minister
Entering a party, or networking event alone, can be terrifying to many! David's compassionate approach can alleviate this anxiety, and through techniques that calm the Vagus nerve, can give people relief in a short period of time.

Social Anxiety
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.

Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting or high-stakes, even when others can’t tell. Whether you’re avoiding conversations, overthinking everything you say, or feeling like you can’t be yourself around others, I help clients work through the fear of judgment and build real confidence. You don’t have to become an extrovert. You just need tools to stop anxiety from calling the shots.

Social Anxiety
Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who experience social anxiety, self-consciousness, fear of judgment, or difficulty feeling comfortable and confident around others. Together, we explore the deeper beliefs, past experiences, attachment patterns, and nervous-system responses that may contribute to feeling unsafe, exposed, or afraid of being rejected or misunderstood. Through a trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach, I help clients develop greater internal safety, self-trust, emotional regulation, and confidence in their ability to navigate relationships and social situations. The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you feel more comfortable being fully yourself without constantly monitoring, judging, or questioning how you are being perceived.
