Social Anxiety
Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
If being watched, judged, or evaluated makes your mind race and your body tense, you know what social anxiety costs; friendships not made, chances not taken, moments you dreaded instead of enjoyed. I help you understand the fear underneath it, settle your nervous system in the moment, and gradually build the confidence to be seen. You don't have to become someone else; you just have to stop bracing against yourself.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt your heart race—wondering what people are thinking about you, or wishing you could disappear before anyone notices? Social anxiety can make even simple moments—talking in class, attending church, meeting new people—feel like survival. Over time, the worry turns into withdrawal, and loneliness begins to take root.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand how exhausting it is to overthink every word and every glance. Our Christian counselors help you quiet the noise of self-criticism, retrain your body’s stress response, and build confidence that lasts beyond the next conversation.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use faith-integrated, evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic grounding, and exposure techniques—combined with biblical truth and compassionate guidance to help you:
• Calm the physical symptoms of anxiety in social settings
• Overcome fear of judgment and rejection
• Strengthen communication and self-expression
• Build authentic connections and trust
• Restore peace through a renewed sense of identity in Christ
You don’t have to live trapped inside your own thoughts. With practical tools, gentle exposure, and spiritual grounding, you can learn to walk into any room with calm confidence—rooted not in others’ approval, but in God’s love for you.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living freely, Rising Calm Center is here to help you find your voice and your peace again.

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.

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.
