Social Anxiety
Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Persistent and intense fears of being watched, judged, or evaluated negatively by others in social or performance situations are very different than feeling shy or nervous. The fears are often out of proportion to the actual threat the situation poses. Common triggers may include: meeting new people; starting conversations; dating; eating or drinking in front of others; being the center of attention. Many individuals either avoid such situations, or endure them with significant distress. Together, we can explore how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations reinforce each other when anxiety levels spike. Our goal will be to identify and challenge distorted beliefs, and then replace them with more accurate thoughts. In addition, reducing subtle avoidance tactics will help you come to realize that you can in fact handle these situations successfully.

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.

Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety is so much more than being shy. It is the dread that builds before a gathering you said yes to weeks ago. It is replaying a conversation in your head long after everyone else has moved on. It is shrinking yourself in rooms where you belong, staying quiet when you have something worth saying, or avoiding situations altogether just to escape the fear of being judged, embarrassed, or not enough.
And the exhausting part is that from the outside, nobody can even tell.
At CCW International, we understand how much energy it takes to navigate the world when social situations feel like a minefield. For many of the women we serve, social anxiety shows up quietly, hidden behind a polished exterior and a reputation for having it all together. For our veteran clients, it can look like struggling to reintegrate into civilian social spaces that feel foreign and unpredictable after years of a structured military community.
Whatever it looks like for you, we are here to help you understand where it comes from and what keeps it going. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we work with you to gently challenge the thoughts and avoidance patterns that have been running the show, and help you start showing up in your life with more ease, more confidence, and a lot less dread.
You have so much to offer the world. We want to help you feel free enough to share it.

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.
