Social Anxiety
Dr. Sam Macy
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety can limit us personally and professionally, making life smaller and less-realized. I use an integrative therapeutic approach to help people feel more confident in social interactions, and more willing to take "good risks" towards a more expanded and empowered life.

Reshma Rampersad
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Therapy for social anxiety is centered on creating a safe and supportive space where you can gradually build confidence in social situations. Using a blend of cognitive-behavioral strategies, exposure techniques, and mindfulness practices, we work to challenge anxious thoughts, develop effective coping skills, and increase comfort in interactions. My goal is to help you shift from fear and avoidance to a place of self-assurance and meaningful connection with others

Social Anxiety
Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in social anxiety.
Social anxiety is more than shyness. It can look like rehearsing what you will say before you say it, dreading plans you actually want to keep, then picking yourself apart for hours afterward. You may find yourself watching yourself from a distance in conversation, convinced everyone can see what you are hiding, or avoiding opportunities entirely rather than risk being perceived.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we take up not just the fear but what it is organized around. Social anxiety carries an unconscious logic worth understanding: it usually says something about how you see yourself and how you imagine others see you, and those impressions were formed somewhere. In sessions we trace them back, including how they show up between us, since a fear of being judged tends to surface in the room as well.
If you have been managing social anxiety by staying small, I would be glad to talk.

Social Anxiety
Dr. James R. McClymonds
Psychologist, Psy.D., HSPP
Are you stressed out? And is it getting harder to "just not think about it?" I specialize in helping people work through stressful transitions and high-conflict situations. Through individual or couple's therapy, we can work together to achieve the goals you've wanted, but have felt out of reach.

Social Anxiety
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals struggling with social anxiety, fear of judgment, and difficulty feeling comfortable or confident in social and professional settings. With extensive clinical experience treating anxiety across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping reduce reactivity and increase a sense of calm and control. Together, we build confidence, strengthen communication, and learn how to become more comfortable with the inherent lack of control in social environments, supporting more authentic and relaxed engagement.

Social anxiety is rooted in a fear of rejection and/or judgment by others. I work with clients to help identify the source of this fear while highlighting strengths and positive attributes that clients possess, which helps to empower clients to seek and develop meaningful relationships.
