Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety has a way of existing even in the quiet moments. I work with clients to decrease ruminating thoughts, dwelling, and anxious/avoidance cycles. There are many ways we can approach your social anxiety - which may include changes in how you speak to yourself, how you engage/disengage with others, and how to work on staying connected throughout conversations. Our goal will be directly based on what is useful for you in decreasing your social anxiety.

Josh Stieber
Psychologist, PhD
You are probably on this page because you know how much social anxiety can hold you back. I believe that your anxieties arose at some point as a way to try to keep you safe. But sometimes that protective wall can feel like a prison. If we work together, I would support you in understanding how your psyche built this layer of protection. We would then befriend the vulnerable parts of yourself that have relied on this protection. Through welcoming these parts, we can then find more satisfying ways of taking care of yourself.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a haven for those who find themselves shadowed by social anxiety. I understand the quiet turmoil of feeling perpetually on the outside, the racing heart in social situations, and the persistent fear of judgment. With empathy and gentle guidance, I work alongside my clients to unravel the complex emotions and thoughts that fuel their anxiety. Our journey together focuses on building confidence, developing coping strategies, and gently stretching the boundaries of comfort zones. It's about transforming the fear of connection into a celebration of your unique self in the social tapestry, enabling you to step into the world with a newfound sense of belonging and ease.
