Social Anxiety
Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
College can be an exciting time—but it can also bring intense pressure to fit in, make friends, and find your place. If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or worried about being judged, you’re not alone. Many students quietly struggle with these same feelings. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand your anxiety, build coping skills, and increase your confidence so you can feel more at ease connecting with others and fully engaging in college life.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Michelle Solomon
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with individuals experiencing social anxiety who feel held back by fear, overthinking, and self-consciousness in social situations. Their fear of being judged by others limits their ability to show up authentically as themselves. Together, we build tools to manage anxiety, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen your sense of ease and confidence with yourself and others.

Social Anxiety
Tin Huang
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I have significant experience helping clients overcome the debilitating effects of social anxiety, from fear of judgment to avoidance of social situations. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, providing a safe space to explore the thoughts and feelings that fuel your social fears. I also consider how cultural expectations and societal pressures can contribute to and intensify feelings of social anxiety.
Together, we'll identify triggers, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and gradually build confidence and practical skills for navigating social interactions.
Through this informed and supportive process, I empower clients to step out of isolation, connect authentically, and live more freely in social settings.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults struggling with social anxiety, shyness, or fear of judgment in personal, professional, or social settings. I help clients understand how patterns of worry, avoidance, and self-criticism develop and how they impact relationships, confidence, and daily life.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to support emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build coping skills. Therapy emphasizes self-compassion, confidence, and practical strategies to navigate social situations, communicate effectively, and foster meaningful connections.

Social Anxiety
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Social anxiety is a very common condition that can result in avoidance and/or avoidance and also a lot of discomfort when being or even thinking of being in a social situation including 1 on 1, small and large group situations. Most individuals feel they don't know what to say or how to act and will be shunned, avoided or rejected. I provide social skills training to improve confidence, relaxation skills to reduce anxiety and strategies to change negative thinking patterns with healthy and adaptive ones. Whether it's becoming more comfortable and effective in asking someone on a date, socializing at a party or giving a speech at work, I can help.

Social Anxiety
Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Social anxiety in high-performing men is uniquely paradoxical — these are men who can command a boardroom or lead a crew but privately dread casual social situations, feel certain they're being judged, or perform confidence they don't actually feel underneath. I work with men navigating social anxiety through Character Driven Therapy, examining the self-perception and inner critic driving the anxiety and building a more grounded internal identity that doesn't require constant monitoring of how others are responding. The goal is genuine ease in social situations — not a performance of ease that costs you every time.

Social Anxiety
Andrea Kamins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW, MSW
Social anxiety is a common part of daily life for many people. When it interferes with one's capacity to maintain meaningful relationships, psychotherapy can help. I draw from relational, cognitive and mindfulness-based approaches to challenge patterns of avoidance related to social anxiety.
