I work to address social anxiety by offering targeted interventions to help individuals navigate social interactions with greater ease. Through evidence-based techniques, I work collaboratively with patients to identify, explore, and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build a sense of confidence and competence, and develop effective coping mechanisms. The aim is to empower individuals to overcome social fears and enhance overall social wellbeing.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social Anxiety can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure. This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for social anxiety available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create social and emotional distress while simultaneously resist acting on urges to avoiding such interactions. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming urges to avoid them. People with social anxiety are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.
