Annapolis, Maryland therapist: Eric Weinstein, life coach
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.

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.

Bethesda, Maryland therapist: Monica Grey, counselor/therapist
Social Anxiety

Monica Grey

Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions — networking, speaking up at work, even making a phone call — feel like high-stakes performances. If you find yourself rehearsing conversations, avoiding situations where you might be judged, or replaying interactions long after they're over, you're not alone. I use cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based strategies to help you understand what's driving the avoidance and gradually reclaim the parts of your life anxiety has taken over. We work at your pace, with concrete goals, so progress feels real — not theoretical. For many clients, social anxiety also disrupts sleep, and I'm uniquely positioned to address both.
