Social Anxiety
Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety is often less about being around people and more about being seen — and the terror of what they might find if they really look. At Simple Empathy we work with the part of you that monitors, edits and manages every interaction, and we get curious about what it's protecting you from. This isn't exposure therapy disguised as something deeper. It's actual depth work — looking at the story beneath the anxiety, the early experiences that taught you that being visible was dangerous, and building a self that can be seen without bracing for impact.

Social Anxiety
Tracy Hadel
Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Social anxiety can be lessened with EMDR and cognitive behavioral techniques. Somatic yoga techniques can also help calm the mind and body, and help us become physically more aware of triggers and thoughts that hinder progress.
