Social Anxiety
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In assisting individuals with social anxiety issues, I provide a supportive and understanding environment to explore their concerns. Through therapy, we work on understanding the underlying factors contributing to their anxiety, such as negative beliefs or past experiences. I offer strategies to manage anxiety symptoms, including relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring, and exposure therapy. Together, we practice social skills and gradually confront feared social situations, building confidence and reducing avoidance behaviors. The goal is to empower individuals to navigate social interactions with greater ease and enjoyment, ultimately improving their overall well-being and quality of life.

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
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
It's not shyness. It's the dread before social situations, the replaying of conversations afterward, the constant worry that you said something wrong or that people are judging you. You cancel plans because the relief of staying home outweighs the effort of showing up. Or you push through and spend the whole time managing the anxiety instead of actually being present. Social anxiety shrinks your world slowly, and the avoidance that feels like it's helping actually makes it worse over time. We can help you break that cycle with approaches that work, not just "put yourself out there" advice that ignores how hard that actually is. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Rockford is one of Illinois's largest cities and one of the Midwest's most economically challenged mid-size communities, having experienced significant deindustrialization following the loss of its manufacturing base, with high rates of poverty and crime that create substantial mental health need across the population. The city has a racially diverse population and a significant Black community that has been disproportionately affected by economic decline and the associated stresses of poverty, violence, and limited opportunity. SwedishAmerican Hospital, now part of UW Health, provides behavioral health services, and community mental health centers serve residents who cannot access private care. Common therapy concerns include trauma, depression, anxiety, economic stress, and the particular challenges of living in a community grappling openly with how to rebuild and reimagine itself after decades of industrial decline.
