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 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.

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.

Julie Harris
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Social situations can feel overwhelming, exhausting, or just plain scary. I help people with social anxiety learn to listen to and work with their anxiety instead of trying to get rid of it. What is your anxiety trying to tell you? How is it trying to help? Together we can get curious, access your inner strengths, and meet the challenges of social situations with more ease.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
Many introverts tend to isolate themselves, and this was exacerbated by the pandemic. Finding the cause of this condition can be helpful in building confidence, and decreasing self-consciousness. The free, regular zoom seminars are helpful, and after a period of time people become more confident in revealing themselves. Please feel free to call for more information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.
