Social Anxiety can make being around other people feel scary. We will work with you to find ways to feel safer in your own skin, especially in moments when you feel judged, self-conscious, or unsure of what to say. From there, we help you connect with others in ways that work for you, without forcing you to become someone you're not.

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.

Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Do you often feel intense dread about social situations, to the point that it can be challenging to meet or interact with others? If you do, you might benefit from meeting with a mental health professional. It is estimated that around 12.1% of Americans are diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, accounting for over 40 million adults. Social anxiety is more than shyness, and a fair amount of research indicates that therapy can be valuable in treating symptoms.
The nature of social anxiety can make it difficult to seek treatment, as talking with a therapist is a form of social interaction. However, various treatment forms are available; you do not have to partake in therapy in person. Learning more about how therapy benefits those with a social anxiety disorder diagnosis or those struggling with social interactions and fears can help you decide if treatment is right for you.
