Social Anxiety
Ryan Egan
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Is your child hiding, hesitating, avoiding, going mute, or simply struggling with everyday social interactions? It might have seemed like normal shyness at first, but now you are not sure what to do, and pushing them seems to make it worse. You don't have to keep opting out and missing out on things that matter. I help kids find their voice and their confidence using gentle, proven strategies that respect who they are while helping them brave the world again.

Social Anxiety
Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
The root of social anxiety tends to be our beliefs about what other people will think of us or whether they are safe with others. This is different than just introverted people. Social anxiety can affect a great many areas of your life but it is something that can be treated and open up your world.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have extensive experience working with individuals who struggle in certain social settings. I draw upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to explore how our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are all reciprocally related. This allows us to identify what changes we can make that will produce significant reduction in social anxiety symptoms.

Social Anxiety
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.

Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Breaking the Cycle of Social Anxiety
Social anxiety often creates a "safety cycle" where we avoid situations to stay safe, which unintentionally makes the fear grow stronger. We help you break that cycle using a combination of clinical expertise and real-world tools.
Our Specialized Approach
Because social anxiety affects the mind, body, and behavior, we use a multi-dimensional approach to treatment:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and challenge the "mind-reading" thoughts that tell you others are judging you.
DBT & Mindfulness: To manage the physical symptoms of anxiety (like racing heart or sweating) in the moment
