Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Social anxiety can quietly shrink your world — making connection feel more threatening than rewarding, and keeping you from the relationships and experiences you actually want. At Restored, we help clients understand the subconscious beliefs and nervous system patterns fueling social anxiety and work to shift them at a deeper level than traditional coping strategies alone can reach. You deserve to feel at ease in your own skin — and in the presence of others.

Social anxiety can block us from the way we would like to live our lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy provide many approaches to decreasing social anxiety.

Ann Aspnes
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Social anxiety is one of my favorite and most rewarding areas of practice. Grounded in a hugely successful protocol with decades of strong empirical support, my approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you break free from the overwhelming self-consciousness and fear of judgment that keep you isolated. Together, we work to identify and challenge the negative thought patterns and safety behaviors that heighten social distress. Through structured, gradual exposure to feared social situations in a safe and supportive environment, you will build genuine confidence, quiet the internal critic, and cultivate the deep, meaningful connections you deserve.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services to those who may self-identify as socially anxious. If you often feel stuck between wanting to feel seen and wanting to remain invisible, I'd love to help you explore and navigate relationships. Working with me on this concern will likely involve some education and skill-building, exposures or "risk-taking," and some humor to take the edge off. Clients often also have dating-related concerns or inexperience, which I welcome.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who experience social anxiety, fear of judgment, or discomfort in social or professional situations. Social anxiety often involves more than shyness; it can reflect deeper concerns about acceptance, belonging, or fear of exposure in relationships with others.
My work is grounded in the belief that anxiety develops within relational experience. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to explore how fears of evaluation or rejection have developed and how they continue to shape interactions with others. Through increased understanding, individuals often find greater freedom to engage socially in ways that feel more natural and less constrained by fear.
I also work with couples who wish to understand how social anxiety affects communication and relational connection.
