Dr. Michelle Solomon
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with individuals experiencing social anxiety who feel held back by fear, overthinking, and self-consciousness in social situations. Their fear of being judged by others limits their ability to show up authentically as themselves. Together, we build tools to manage anxiety, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen your sense of ease and confidence with yourself and others.

Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Social anxiety can range from barely noticeable to debilitating. If you feel social anxiety is a problem in your life, I have many ways to address it. By identifying your personal experience of anxiety, we can work together to help reduce it using a combination of techniques that are appropriate for you. This may include mental strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Systematic Desensitization, or physical strategies such as breathing techniques, muscle relaxation, or other relaxation techniques.

Dr. Lisa Wilke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Do you feel anxious meeting new people, speaking in front of a group, or walking into a crowded room? Do you avoid activities that involve large groups of people? Social anxiety is more than simply being shy or introverted. It can involve a strong fear of being judged, embarrassed, rejected, or negatively evaluated by others. Sometimes, even everyday interactions such as making a phone call, asking a question, or starting a conversation can trigger anxiety. If you are experiencing significant social anxiety, support is available. Schedule an initial consultation through my website to get started.

Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
I work with social anxiety by helping clients understand the patterns that keep fear, self-doubt, and avoidance in place, while building confidence through values-aligned exposure and skill development. Our work focuses on strengthening self-trust, reducing over-monitoring, and learning how to show up authentically in social spaces in ways that you desire as the client. Therapy is practical, supportive, and paced to meet you where you are.
