Ciara Shellman
Therapist
As a dedicated therapist with a focus on social anxiety, I bring a compassionate, understanding approach to the challenges you might be facing.

Leveraging the latest in therapeutic techniques and my understanding of the nuances of social anxiety, I offer a safe, supportive space for exploring these feelings. Together, we will work towards understanding the roots of your anxiety, developing coping strategies, and gradually expanding your comfort zone.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Do you find yourself afraid of what others will say or think? Do these fears keep you from living out loud? Maybe you feel social anxiety only in certain situations, and not in others. Regardless, when social anxiety is high, many people find that their life gets smaller, or they get quieter - usually when it matters most. We can focus on learning ways to overcome social anxiety through patience and skill building, but always for a purpose - to live more in line with what matters.
