Social Anxiety
Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Anxiety isn’t just “worry.” It’s the mind working overtime to protect you — often in ways that leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Social anxiety, in particular, can make even simple interactions feel loaded with risk, self-doubt, or shame. You might find yourself rehearsing conversations before they happen, overanalyzing them after, or avoiding them altogether.
In our work together, we look beneath the symptoms. Instead of just learning how to manage your anxiety, we explore what it’s trying to protect you from — and why it learned to speak so loudly. I help clients slow down their inner experience, tune into the body, and begin to relate to anxiety with curiosity rather than fear.
Together, we’ll build new internal pathways rooted in safety, self-compassion, and presence. You don’t have to be “fearless” to live a full, connected life. You just have to stop fighting yourself.

Social Anxiety
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Social anxiety is more than just being afraid to speak in public, for many people social anxiety is fear of being judged by other people in any social setting to the extent that they usually decline any social events. Treating social anxiety involves trying to find the source for the anxiety and the negative beliefs that have become part of the client's self beliefs so that we can desensitize, reframe, reprocess, and replace these negative beliefs with improved self-confidence. We will also use visualization exercises in which the client will imagine a social setting and being comfortable with who they are in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety involves three components: cognitive (thinking), behavioral, and physiological. I can help you change your thinking to be more positive, yet accurate. Behavioral includes facing your social fears (the more you avoid, the more fearful you will be), as well as social skills. I'll help you learn social skills. Physiological means that dreaded fight flight response (heart pounding, blushing, sweating). I'll help you to stay relaxed when anxious. Believe it or not 95% of people are anxious in at least one social situation. Normalizing it and accepting it is another thing I am Abel (hahaha) to help you with.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services to those who may self-identify as socially anxious. If you often feel stuck between wanting to feel seen and wanting to remain invisible, I'd love to help you explore and navigate relationships. Working with me on this concern will likely involve some education and skill-building, exposures or "risk-taking," and some humor to take the edge off. Clients often also have dating-related concerns or inexperience, which I welcome.

Social Anxiety
Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety can quietly shrink your world — you avoid situations, over-rehearse interactions, replay conversations afterward for everything you said wrong, and feel a loneliness that comes from being around people but never quite feeling able to be yourself. This isn't shyness or introversion; it's your nervous system treating social situations as a threat. I work with social anxiety through a combination of nervous system regulation, EMDR, and somatic techniques that help your body learn to feel safer in connection — so you can start showing up more freely, and less managed.
