Allyson Stephens

Social Anxiety
Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, exhausting, or filled with self-conscious thoughts about how you are being perceived. I support clients in understanding the patterns of worry, avoidance, and self-criticism that often show up in social situations. In our work together, we focus on building awareness of these thoughts, developing practical coping strategies, and gradually increasing confidence in social settings at a pace that feels manageable. My goal is to help you feel more at ease in relationships and everyday interactions, while building a stronger sense of self-assurance and presence with others.

Social Anxiety
David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for social anxiety, I help you identify and challenge the fear of being judged or scrutinized by others in social or performance situations. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe self-critical thoughts while teaching you practical social skills and grounding techniques to manage physical discomfort. Through gradual, supportive exposure to social settings, I work with you to build genuine self-confidence and reduce the need for avoidance or safety behaviors.
