Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Social anxiety can make everyday situations—meeting new people, speaking up at work, or even attending social gatherings—feel overwhelming. You may find yourself avoiding opportunities, worrying about being judged, or replaying conversations long after they’ve ended. In therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space to reduce fear, build confidence, and practice skills that help you feel more comfortable in social situations. Together, we’ll work on calming anxious thoughts, strengthening self-esteem, and creating strategies so you can connect more freely and fully with others.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
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.
