Social Anxiety
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.

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.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, risky, or overanalyzed long after they are over. It may show up as fear of being judged, difficulty speaking up, avoiding certain people or situations, replaying conversations, or feeling tense in groups, dating, work, family, or community settings. In therapy, I help clients understand the thoughts, fears, and past experiences that may be keeping social anxiety in place. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life. Together, we work on building confidence, reducing overthinking, strengthening self-acceptance, and developing tools that help you show up more fully and comfortably in your relationships and daily life.
