Social Anxiety
Lindsey Luedtke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social anxiety is not much different than general anxiety and fear but centers on social interactions and relationships with others. As we shift the relationship you have to your inner world and you feel more confident and capable, your social anxiety will not have to work so hard to protect you.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Social anxiety in high-performing men is uniquely paradoxical — these are men who can command a boardroom or lead a crew but privately dread casual social situations, feel certain they're being judged, or perform confidence they don't actually feel underneath. I work with men navigating social anxiety through Character Driven Therapy, examining the self-perception and inner critic driving the anxiety and building a more grounded internal identity that doesn't require constant monitoring of how others are responding. The goal is genuine ease in social situations — not a performance of ease that costs you every time.

Social Anxiety
Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel high-stakes—leading to overthinking, self-consciousness, and a tendency to avoid situations that might otherwise be meaningful. In therapy, we take time to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going, while gently working toward greater comfort and flexibility in social settings. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and feelings that arise in the moment, and build your capacity to stay present and engaged—so interactions feel less overwhelming and more like an opportunity for genuine connection.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt your heart race—wondering what people are thinking about you, or wishing you could disappear before anyone notices? Social anxiety can make even simple moments—talking in class, attending church, meeting new people—feel like survival. Over time, the worry turns into withdrawal, and loneliness begins to take root.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand how exhausting it is to overthink every word and every glance. Our Christian counselors help you quiet the noise of self-criticism, retrain your body’s stress response, and build confidence that lasts beyond the next conversation.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use faith-integrated, evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic grounding, and exposure techniques—combined with biblical truth and compassionate guidance to help you:
• Calm the physical symptoms of anxiety in social settings
• Overcome fear of judgment and rejection
• Strengthen communication and self-expression
• Build authentic connections and trust
• Restore peace through a renewed sense of identity in Christ
You don’t have to live trapped inside your own thoughts. With practical tools, gentle exposure, and spiritual grounding, you can learn to walk into any room with calm confidence—rooted not in others’ approval, but in God’s love for you.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living freely, Rising Calm Center is here to help you find your voice and your peace again.
