Social Anxiety
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Social anxiety reflects fears of visibility, judgment, and emotional exposure. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration with somatic awareness to understand how relational fear is held in both the body and inner life. This process supports greater confidence, presence, and emotional freedom in social and intimate situations.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals understand social anxiety and loosen its grip, easing distress while making room for genuine connection. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we study what is happening at and beneath the surface—anticipatory fear, self-monitoring, and the meanings carried from past experience—and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less avoidance and second-guessing, more ease, choice, and confidence in relating to others.

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
Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Are you someone who avoids certain social situations or endures them with significant difficulty? You may fear rejection, criticism or judgment and avoid certain social situations to try to keep these feelings at bay. Unfortunately, this avoidance makes social anxiety worse over time. You may notice that you continue to lose self-confidence and a sense of worth the more that you avoid others. As a specialist in treating social anxiety, I understand how challenging it can be to face these fears. I have worked with many client so to help them build insight into what contributes to their social anxiety. Once we have a deeper understanding of how social anxiety impacts you and in what situations it arises, I can help teach you strategies to begin to gradually face feared situations and increase your self-confidence over time.

Social Anxiety
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
TL;DR: Michael approaches social anxiety as a protective but limiting "mask," helping clients move from the fear of being judged to a more authentic and relaxed way of connecting with others.
Social anxiety often feels like an internal spotlight, magnifying every perceived flaw and making everyday interactions feel like high-stakes performances. With 35 years of clinical experience, Michael looks beyond the physical symptoms of "shyness" to explore the underlying fears of rejection or inadequacy that often stem from early relational patterns. By utilizing a psychodynamic framework, he helps you unpack the "unconscious scripts" that keep you in a state of hyper-vigilance, allowing you to move past the exhausting effort of social mask-wearing. The goal is to shift from a focus on how others might judge you toward a deeper sense of self-acceptance, enabling genuine, low-pressure connections with the world around you.
