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.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety is not shyness. It is the experience of being watched by a judge who lives inside your own head — a judge who arrived long before you ever chose to listen to it. Every room becomes a performance. Every interaction is graded. The exhaustion is not from other people. It is from the constant labor of self-surveillance. Therapy works not by teaching you to ignore the judge but by understanding whose voice it actually is, and why it was installed in the first place.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.
