Social Anxiety
Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

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.

Ann Aspnes
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Social anxiety is one of my favorite and most rewarding areas of practice. Grounded in a hugely successful protocol with decades of strong empirical support, my approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you break free from the overwhelming self-consciousness and fear of judgment that keep you isolated. Together, we work to identify and challenge the negative thought patterns and safety behaviors that heighten social distress. Through structured, gradual exposure to feared social situations in a safe and supportive environment, you will build genuine confidence, quiet the internal critic, and cultivate the deep, meaningful connections you deserve.

Social Anxiety
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Social anxiety is a very common condition that can result in avoidance and/or avoidance and also a lot of discomfort when being or even thinking of being in a social situation including 1 on 1, small and large group situations. Most individuals feel they don't know what to say or how to act and will be shunned, avoided or rejected. I provide social skills training to improve confidence, relaxation skills to reduce anxiety and strategies to change negative thinking patterns with healthy and adaptive ones. Whether it's becoming more comfortable and effective in asking someone on a date, socializing at a party or giving a speech at work, I can help.

Social Anxiety
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social Anxiety can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure. This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for social anxiety available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create social and emotional distress while simultaneously resist acting on urges to avoiding such interactions. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming urges to avoid them. People with social anxiety are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.
