Social Anxiety
Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety involves three components: cognitive (thinking), behavioral, and physiological. I can help you change your thinking to be more positive, yet accurate. Behavioral includes facing your social fears (the more you avoid, the more fearful you will be), as well as social skills. I'll help you learn social skills. Physiological means that dreaded fight flight response (heart pounding, blushing, sweating). I'll help you to stay relaxed when anxious. Believe it or not 95% of people are anxious in at least one social situation. Normalizing it and accepting it is another thing I am Abel (hahaha) to help you with.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

Resilient Roots Therapy - Social Work and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MA, RP
Even with social anxiety, you've experienced moments when interactions felt more comfortable or when you successfully navigated social situations - perhaps a conversation that flowed naturally or a time when you felt more at ease - these experiences contain valuable clues about your natural ability to connect with others. By building on these instances of social confidence and drawing from your existing interpersonal strengths, you'll find that meaningful connections become more accessible as you gradually expand the moments when anxiety holds less power over your social experiences.

Social Anxiety
Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to the treatment social anxiety is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs that contribute to fear and self-consciousness in social situations. Together, we use practical strategies such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, and social skills training to build confidence and reduce avoidance. This structured, supportive process helps clients develop a more balanced perspective and engage more comfortably and authentically in social interactions.
