Social Anxiety
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.

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.
