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.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
It can take years for social anxiety to harshly limit a life. Or, it can take a traumatic moment and that life is forever changed. One of the best clients I can help is a client with social anxiety. It is very gratifying to see that same person whom could hardly sit in front of me develop into a person that can walk into a social event, by themselves and introduce themselves to others. I use a technique called "Exposure, response prevention.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Social anxiety often shows up as a constant self-monitoring—replaying conversations, worrying about how you came across, or feeling tense before, during, and after social interactions. Many people assume this means they’re awkward or broken, when in reality it’s usually a nervous system that’s working overtime to stay safe. In therapy, we approach social anxiety with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from rather than forcing you to “just be more confident.”
My work with social anxiety focuses on easing the internal pressure rather than pushing you into uncomfortable situations before you’re ready. Together, we work on calming the body, softening self-judgment, and building trust in your ability to handle connection as it unfolds. Over time, social interactions begin to feel less like a performance and more like a shared experience—allowing you to show up as yourself with greater ease, presence, and self-acceptance
