Social Anxiety
Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
I’m dubious about the term “social anxiety.” I don’t doubt for a second how paralyzing or distressing it is to be anxious in social situations, but diagnosing someone with social anxiety sometimes feels like an excuse for a quick fix: “Here’s a prescription!” That’s not my approach (although I get it if that’s where you are now).
Whether you’ve been diagnosed or not doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that you want to be more confident and comfortable around people. Because I can help you with that.
The tools I use – energy psychology, hypnosis and NLP (neurolinguistic programming), nutritional guidance, and voice dialogue (or “parts work”) – all have a part. As can figuring out if “social anxiety” is part of a bigger problem, such as chronic anxiety or perfectionism or a general distrust of people, or a seemingly unrelated bad experience that subconsciously affects you in social situations.
Human beings are social animals. Social connection is so important that a lack of it is a reliable predictor of early death. And technology now gives us so many ways to “connect” that it’s easy to stop connecting in meaningful ways.
If you’re tired of not being able to be yourself (or the person you want to be) in social situations, there’s a good chance I can help. Please get in touch.

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.

Social Anxiety
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.

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.

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.

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.
