Social Anxiety
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.

Jennifer Andrews
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Social anxiety can make even everyday interactions feel overwhelming. Whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, attending social gatherings, or building deeper relationships, the fear of judgment or rejection can leave you feeling isolated and unsure of yourself. Social anxiety doesn’t just hold you back—it can rob you of the joy of connection and belonging.
As a therapist, I understand the unique challenges of social anxiety and how deeply it can impact your life. Together, we’ll work to uncover the roots of your anxiety, challenge the negative thoughts that fuel it, and develop practical tools to navigate social situations with greater confidence. But what truly sets this journey apart is anchoring the process in your Christian faith.
God has created you with a purpose and invites you to live boldly in His love and grace. Through prayer, scripture, and Christ-centered strategies, you’ll learn to trust in His strength, embrace your God-given worth, and step into social situations with a renewed sense of peace and assurance.
You don’t have to let social anxiety define your life. With faith and support, you can find freedom, build meaningful connections, and embrace the abundant life God has planned for you.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so you don't feel rejected or stupid? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how.

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.

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.
