Social Anxiety
Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Social anxiety can be very uncomfortable to live with and can lead to feeling isolated or depressed. In addition to avoiding social situations or being very anxious beforehand, people suffering from social anxiety often think the worst afterwards. They tend to judge themselves, second guess themselves or 'beat themselves up' recycling an interaction over and over in their thoughts. In therapy, I teach clients methods to relieve their anxious thoughts, feelings and body sensations. I also support them with do-able step by step actions which lead to solutions of their social anxiety and avoidance. I offer online and phone sessions which can be more comfortable than in person sessions for people with social anxiety, as you don't have to travel to sessions or sit in an office waiting room.

Social Anxiety
Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety often results in avoidance of many activities. In these cases, fear is running the show. I work to unpack the fear of rejection and encourage people to slowly go out of their comfort zone.

Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
I help clients understand and manage social anxiety that can make interactions, relationships, work, or everyday situations feel overwhelming. Therapy may address fear of judgment, self-consciousness, avoidance, difficulty speaking or asserting oneself, and worry about how others perceive you. Together, we work to build confidence, develop effective coping strategies, and increase comfort and flexibility in social situations.

Social Anxiety
Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety can be deeply uncomfortable and often misunderstood. It’s not simply shyness or a lack of social skills, but a heightened sensitivity to evaluation, rejection, or disapproval that can make social situations feel exhausting, tense, or even threatening. Many people with social anxiety spend a great deal of energy monitoring themselves, anticipating how others might perceive them, or replaying interactions long after they’ve ended.
In my work with social anxiety, I view these experiences as understandable responses that often develop in relational contexts where it felt important to stay vigilant, perform correctly, or avoid drawing negative attention. Therapy can become a place to explore how these patterns formed, what they are trying to protect you from, and how they continue to shape your relationships and sense of self today.
Together, we may work on gently loosening the grip of self-criticism, fear of judgment, and internal pressure to “get it right.” This often involves cultivating greater self-compassion, increasing tolerance for discomfort, and developing a more grounded relationship with yourself in social settings. The goal is not to force confidence or eliminate anxiety entirely, but to help you feel freer, more authentic, and less constrained by fear in your interactions with others.
