Social Anxiety
Dr. Sam Macy
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety can limit us personally and professionally, making life smaller and less-realized. I use an integrative therapeutic approach to help people feel more confident in social interactions, and more willing to take "good risks" towards a more expanded and empowered life.

Social Anxiety
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
For those who struggle with social anxiety, everyday interactions may feel overwhelming and bring fears of judgment, self-consciousness, or a tendency to withdraw. These responses are understandable and often rooted in a need for safety and belonging. Together, we explore the underlying patterns, build confidence, and develop ways of engaging with others that feel more comfortable and authentic.

Social Anxiety
Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in social anxiety.
Social anxiety is more than shyness. It can look like rehearsing what you will say before you say it, dreading plans you actually want to keep, then picking yourself apart for hours afterward. You may find yourself watching yourself from a distance in conversation, convinced everyone can see what you are hiding, or avoiding opportunities entirely rather than risk being perceived.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we take up not just the fear but what it is organized around. Social anxiety carries an unconscious logic worth understanding: it usually says something about how you see yourself and how you imagine others see you, and those impressions were formed somewhere. In sessions we trace them back, including how they show up between us, since a fear of being judged tends to surface in the room as well.
If you have been managing social anxiety by staying small, I would be glad to talk.

Psychologist, Psy.D., HSPP
Are you stressed out? And is it getting harder to "just not think about it?" I specialize in helping people work through stressful transitions and high-conflict situations. Through individual or couple's therapy, we can work together to achieve the goals you've wanted, but have felt out of reach.
