Social Anxiety
Dr. Michael J. 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.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel high-stakes—leading to overthinking, self-consciousness, and a tendency to avoid situations that might otherwise be meaningful. In therapy, we take time to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going, while gently working toward greater comfort and flexibility in social settings. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and feelings that arise in the moment, and build your capacity to stay present and engaged—so interactions feel less overwhelming and more like an opportunity for genuine connection.

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.
