Social Anxiety
Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating social anxiety. My professional journey includes working in hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer in the U.S. Army, where I gained invaluable experience addressing diverse mental health concerns. Over the years, I have honed my skills in evidence-based therapies for social anxiety, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), through advanced training at leading military treatment facilities and esteemed private practices.
These experiences have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges posed by social anxiety and strengthened my dedication to providing compassionate, effective care. My mission is to help you overcome the limitations of social anxiety, build confidence, and lead a more connected and meaningful life. Together, we will create a personalized therapeutic plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

Social Anxiety
Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety often results in avoidance of many activities. In these cases, fear is running the show. I work to unpack the fear of rejection and encourage people to slowly go out of their comfort zone.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Fatuma Dzilala
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel intimidating, leaving you overthinking conversations, worrying about judgment, or avoiding situations where you feel uncomfortable. I help women explore the thoughts and fears underlying their social anxiety, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in expressing themselves and connecting with others.

Social Anxiety
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in social anxiety, my approach to treatment is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and social skills training, I work collaboratively with individuals to address underlying fears and negative thought patterns related to social situations. By gradually exposing clients to feared social scenarios in a supportive environment, we work together to challenge avoidance behaviors and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety symptoms. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome social anxiety, build confidence in social interactions, and cultivate meaningful connections with others.
