Social Anxiety
Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.

Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Social anxiety can range from barely noticeable to debilitating. If you feel social anxiety is a problem in your life, I have many ways to address it. By identifying your personal experience of anxiety, we can work together to help reduce it using a combination of techniques that are appropriate for you. This may include mental strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Systematic Desensitization, or physical strategies such as breathing techniques, muscle relaxation, or other relaxation techniques.

Social Anxiety
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Everyone is 'wired' with a deep fear of rejection as a survival instinct-- finding connection and avoiding rejection are how our race has survived, and how we find meaning and fulfillment in life. Social anxiety is rooted in this fear of rejection, and people who have had negative childhood experiences that made them feel socially rejected or not good /safe enough around others will often develop unhelpful beliefs; these drive behaviors such as feeling anxious/ fearful around others, not having the courage to speak, wanting to avoid people as much as possible, etc. The events that are the cause of the beliefs need to be identified, and this is where Rapid Transformational Therapy can provide clarity. Once the underlying belief is addressed, it gets reframed and replaced with suggestions that rewire the subconscious to feel safe/ happy/ excited around other people and visualization of doing things that were previously a cause of anxiety. Ongoing support will be available after the session(s).
