Social Anxiety
David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for social anxiety, I help you identify and challenge the fear of being judged or scrutinized by others in social or performance situations. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe self-critical thoughts while teaching you practical social skills and grounding techniques to manage physical discomfort. Through gradual, supportive exposure to social settings, I work with you to build genuine self-confidence and reduce the need for avoidance or safety behaviors.
