Social Anxiety
Bloom Behavioral Health Ptrs
Treatment Center, Psy'D, LPC, LMSW, CAADC, CCS
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to fear of judgment, avoidance, and difficulty building meaningful connections. With therapy you can start to understand the underlying causes of social anxiety, develop confidence in social situations, challenge anxious thought patterns, and build skills to engage more comfortably in work, school, and personal relationships.

Social Anxiety
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

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Social anxiety can feel overwhelming, impacting relationships, confidence, and the ability to participate in areas of life you care about. Symptoms may include self-doubt, reassurance seeking and rumination, feeling embarrassed, and avoiding social situations. I utilized evidence-based therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness methods to help clients face their fears and better manage discomfort in social settings.

Its mental health picture follows Peoria's — economic anxiety in a city navigating industrial transition, family and career stress, and healthcare workforce burnout given the city's large medical employment. OSF HealthCare's behavioral programs and Peoria's provider base serve the area.
