Tony D Silva
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Social anxiety can overwhelm the sense of wellbeing because we are biologically wired to be social creatures with interdependence on each other in order to thrive and feel purpose in life. Ultimately, I believe the antidote to social anxiety is a combination of increased "self acceptance/esteem/love" & "presence" and the courage to understand our fears of rejection and abandonment. The necessary neurological re-wiring includes somatic awareness and intra-personal plasticity. I often draw from an Internal Family Systems approach to understand to understand the complexities of the psych around social anxiety.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients manage social anxiety, performance anxiety, fear of judgment, and discomfort in professional or personal interactions. Many clients overthink what they said, worry about being misunderstood, or feel pressure to appear confident even when they feel anxious inside. In therapy, we work on reducing avoidance, challenging self-critical thoughts, building confidence, and developing more authentic ways of relating to others. My goal is to help clients feel more comfortable, present, and confident in social situations.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social anxiety and related challenges, including fear of judgment, excessive self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, difficulty speaking in groups, performance anxiety, and discomfort in interpersonal interactions. Social anxiety can significantly impact relationships, work performance, confidence, and overall quality of life, often leading to isolation, stress, and reduced self-esteem.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social anxiety therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to fear and avoidance in social settings. Many individuals with social anxiety have experienced past criticism, embarrassment, rejection, bullying, or other distressing social experiences that continue to shape how they perceive and respond to social environments.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce anxiety responses, and build greater confidence in social situations. Therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, shifting negative beliefs about self and others, and developing healthier patterns of interaction.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, explore underlying fears, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety in real-world social settings. Treatment is personalized and supportive, helping clients gradually increase comfort, confidence, and authenticity in their interactions with others.
The goal of therapy is not to eliminate personality or force social performance, but to help clients feel more at ease being themselves, build meaningful connections, and reduce the fear and avoidance that interfere with daily life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond social anxiety, feel more grounded in social situations, and engage with others in a way that feels natural, confident, and authentic.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services to those who may self-identify as socially anxious. If you often feel stuck between wanting to feel seen and wanting to remain invisible, I'd love to help you explore and navigate relationships. Working with me on this concern will likely involve some education and skill-building, exposures or "risk-taking," and some humor to take the edge off. Clients often also have dating-related concerns or inexperience, which I welcome.
