Natalie A Shafer

For those who struggle with social anxiety, everyday interactions may feel overwhelming and bring fears of judgment, self-consciousness, or a tendency to withdraw. These responses are understandable and often rooted in a need for safety and belonging. Together, we explore the underlying patterns, build confidence, and develop ways of engaging with others that feel more comfortable and authentic.

Social Anxiety
Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
I treat symptoms of anxiety with a through a therapy called, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a unique form of psychotherapy that emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and embracing thoughts and feelings instead of attempting to control or avoid them. While the concept of accepting even the harshest experiences might appear counterintuitive, practicing radical acceptance can mitigate the additional suffering caused by avoidance strategies and can paradoxically diminish their intensity.
