Rachele Epp
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, EMDR 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.

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.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety affects many people throughout the world, especially the ones that grew up in unhealthy dynamics at home and who may have learned that the world is an untrustworthy and/or scary place. Social anxiety lives in the body and in the nervous system so we will use approaches that target the nervous system specifically to help unwind any material that is resting there. When the body and nervous system release this material, we very often feel better and less overwhelmed in daily life, especially in social situations.

Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Fears relate to perceived risk of rejection and hurt. Anxiety is fear of felt but non-specific risks. Each involves the same areas of the brain. My treatment focuses on finding and resolving the core issues that trigger the fear and anxiety responses, except in response to realistic perceived threat.
