Social Anxiety
Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, uncomfortable, or even avoidable. I work with clients to understand the patterns of fear and self-consciousness that drive social anxiety and how avoidance reinforces it. Using evidence-based strategies, we focus on building confidence, reducing fear of judgment, and increasing comfort in social situations.

Social Anxiety
Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Social Anxiety
Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
Social anxiety often reflects deeper fears of judgment, rejection, or exposure rooted in earlier relational experiences. Together, we explore how these patterns developed and work to transform the beliefs and nervous system responses that sustain them. My approach combines psychodynamic insight, CPT-informed belief restructuring, and somatic regulation strategies. Over time, clients develop greater ease in social interactions, improved self-expression, and a stronger internal sense of worth.
