Social Anxiety
Ryan Egan
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Is your child hiding, hesitating, avoiding, going mute, or simply struggling with everyday social interactions? It might have seemed like normal shyness at first, but now you are not sure what to do, and pushing them seems to make it worse. You don't have to keep opting out and missing out on things that matter. I help kids find their voice and their confidence using gentle, proven strategies that respect who they are while helping them brave the world again.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety has a way of existing even in the quiet moments. I work with clients to decrease ruminating thoughts, dwelling, and anxious/avoidance cycles. There are many ways we can approach your social anxiety - which may include changes in how you speak to yourself, how you engage/disengage with others, and how to work on staying connected throughout conversations. Our goal will be directly based on what is useful for you in decreasing your social anxiety.

Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with social anxiety. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. This can include fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to social anxiety. She also integrates exposure therapy, a CBT method that gradually exposes clients to feared social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Downs incorporates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. Her holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Downs provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. She also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Downs is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.
