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
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Treating social anxiety requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of the condition. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, I collaborate with clients to challenge negative thought patterns, reduce avoidance behaviors, and gradually confront feared social situations. Through structured exercises and role-playing, clients learn to reframe anxious thoughts, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in their social interactions.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and confident in social situations, but instead you are afraid you will look stupid, embarrass yourself, or be rejected. It has been hard for you to manage this level of social anxiety on your own. Each day it becomes more difficult to focus on anything other than those worst-case scenarios that your mind so quickly creates. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from social anxiety. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.
