Social Anxiety
Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety is not shyness. It is the experience of being watched by a judge who lives inside your own head — a judge who arrived long before you ever chose to listen to it. Every room becomes a performance. Every interaction is graded. The exhaustion is not from other people. It is from the constant labor of self-surveillance. Therapy works not by teaching you to ignore the judge but by understanding whose voice it actually is, and why it was installed in the first place.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety may stem from feelings of vulnerability, like you don't belong, past experiences of rejection, fears of judgment, and/or a sensitive nervous system's that needs lower stimulation and greater predictability than social interactions entail. Socializing or the thought of meeting people can come with feelings of fear, embarrassment, self-consciousness, and self-doubt. It's easier to avoid interacting with others, but the temporary comfort this brings leads to greater discomfort in the long run. You feel like your social anxiety is hindering your relationships and keeping you from experiencing life as fully as you'd like.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them, while honoring who you are.
