Fear of being judged negatively or avoiding things so we are not embarrassed or judged is the hallmark here. If we avoid everything tends to get worse. Dr. Davenport may be able to help.

Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Do you secretly hope your friends will cancel the plans you have made with them or spend time trying to figure out how to get out of social events because the thought of interacting with people or even walking into the even terrifies you? Social anxiety can be extremely crippling, and those of us who deal with it often struggle from loneliness and isolation even though those same social situations we crave so desperately also overwhelm us tremendously. In therapy you can learn new strategies to manage your anxiety, learn ways of creating friends AND showing up to enjoy them, and ways to create a community of people that “get” you and have space for you however you choose to show up. We can also help you learn to love ALL of the facets of your life- including the moments where you get to show up to spend time with others and the times you are alone. I find that online therapy is particularly good for social anxiety because we can work together in any place you feel safe and comfortable in and work together to help you stretch and strengthen your ability to interact socially. Please reach out!

Dr. David Ransen
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CHt
I have successfully helped a great many people to prevent feelings of social anxiety and to eliminate them in minutes if they should ever experience them in the future. Human beings are social creatures, and no one should have to bear feelings of anxiety in social contexts.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Cognitive behavioral therapy uses a variety of direct methods to help patients modify their thoughts and emotional reactions to stressors like social situations. Using psychodynamic techniques, we will work together to gain insight into the emotional roots of unhealthy attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Based on the idea that avoiding the things we fear tends to reinforce anxiety, exposure therapy encourages people to encounter the sources of their anxieties in a controlled, deliberate way.

Dr. Jami Landen
Psychologist, Psy.D>
I have seen an increase in social anxiety since the pandemic started and it continues as we transition out of isolation. Social anxiety is extreme discomfort in various social situations. If untreated, social anxiety can trigger panic attacks and cause avoidance of important social situations. Through mindful mediation in conjunction with cognitive-behavioral techniques I help my clients find joy in social situations again.
