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.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel like high-stakes performances, leaving you preoccupied with how others perceive you or replaying conversations long after they’ve ended. You may avoid certain situations, hold back from speaking up, or put significant energy into appearing confident while privately worrying about being judged. It's exhausting. In our work together, we’ll identify the patterns that make social situations feel so difficult and practice approaching them differently, so you can feel more at ease, speak more freely, show up genuinely, and build connections without the pressure to get everything right.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Lisa Wilke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Do you feel anxious meeting new people, speaking in front of a group, or walking into a crowded room? Do you avoid activities that involve large groups of people? Social anxiety is more than simply being shy or introverted. It can involve a strong fear of being judged, embarrassed, rejected, or negatively evaluated by others. Sometimes, even everyday interactions such as making a phone call, asking a question, or starting a conversation can trigger anxiety. If you are experiencing significant social anxiety, support is available. Schedule an initial consultation through my website to get started.

Social Anxiety
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can be like nesting dolls: the anxiety and avoidance of social situations creates new problems to feel anxious about, and the challenges multiply. It helps to have a place to talk through what is making you anxious today while also working to understand how past experiences are contributing to present symptoms. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can learn techniques to reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.
