Social Anxiety
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.

Barbara J. Biggs
Professional Christian Counselor, M.A., LLPC
As a therapist specializing in social anxiety, my mission is to provide a supportive and understanding environment for individuals struggling with the challenges of social anxiety disorder. I recognize that social anxiety can be isolating and profoundly affect various aspects of one's life. My approach is centered on fostering gradual exposure, building coping skills, and challenging negative thought patterns. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, I aim to empower clients to manage their anxiety, boost self-confidence, and develop the social skills needed to engage in fulfilling and meaningful social interactions. Together, we work towards helping clients overcome the barriers that social anxiety presents, enabling them to lead more socially connected and satisfying lives.
