Fear of judgement, fear of being awkward, fear of having nothing to say, fear of losing control... These are all ways people experience social anxiety. A good therapist can help a client first achieve insight into where these fears came from, but then put in place an action plan to build confidence and safely help oneself feel more comfortable in social settings.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PsyA
Social anxiety can be potentially crippling, depending on how strong it is in an individual person. Depending on their particular profile, I will help them better understand themselves, how they may see themselves unconsciously, and what their fears are in engaging with others socially. If they are prescribed medication I may ask to collaborate with this provider.

Social Anxiety can feel debilitating and often prevents us from having the kinds of relationships and experiences we are worthy of. Given the pandemic and the subsequent isolation, your social anxiety might feel more intense or, you are simply struggling to reconnect with your social self.

Paterson is one of New Jersey's largest and most ethnically diverse cities, a former industrial hub whose silk-milling heritage has given way to a dense and vibrant immigrant community spanning Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Bangladeshi, and Middle Eastern populations, with mental health needs that are correspondingly multilingual and cross-cultural. The city has a high poverty rate and limited private therapy infrastructure, and the demand for multilingual, culturally competent care—particularly in Spanish and Arabic—significantly outpaces the available supply. St. Joseph's University Medical Center in Paterson provides behavioral health services, and community organizations supplement what is a largely under-resourced formal mental health system. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, family stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of maintaining cultural identity and community cohesion across generations in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
