Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social Anxiety can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure. This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for social anxiety available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create social and emotional distress while simultaneously resist acting on urges to avoiding such interactions. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming urges to avoid them. People with social anxiety are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

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

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Being afraid of social situations severely restricts our ability to find and form relationships with others, and essential part of being a person. Having support in dealing with this problem can help you become more confident, learn social skills, and being less fearful of social situations.

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.
