Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social anxiety often develops from experiences of rejection, criticism, or feeling unsafe in relationships. It was not simply "shyness" but a protective response rooted in fear of judgment or harm. Therapy helps you understand the origins of these fears while building internal safety and confidence in relational spaces.

Michelle Foster
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
When working with clients experiencing anxiety, I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach combined with mindfulness techniques to help them identify and reframe anxious thoughts, develop effective coping strategies, and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety. This approach empowers clients to build resilience and regain control over their daily lives.

Christie Roe
Therapist, LMSW
Whatever your experience of social anxiety, I offer trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and somatic support to build your capacity for more clarity, choice, and connection, inside and out. One technique I often use is known as memory reconsolidation, which creates transformative, lasting change through an open yet orderly process of unlearning and relearning with our response-abilities.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with social anxiety, I take a thoughtful, body-centered approach to help you better understand how anxiety shows up and what it’s trying to communicate. Together, we track your internal experience and develop tools for self-regulation—supporting your nervous system in moments of activation. We also explore the deeper beliefs that may underlie your anxiety, including fears around judgment, worth, or belonging. Through a combination of somatic awareness, parts work, and cognitive tools like reality testing, we begin to shift how you relate to social situations and build more flexibility, confidence, and connection in your day-to-day life.

Marina Rozenberg, MD
Therapist, MD
Social anxiety can make you feel like you're constantly on edge, worrying about how others see you or fearing judgment, even in everyday situations. In psychodynamic therapy, we’ll explore the deeper emotional roots of these fears, often tied to past experiences or internalized messages about your worth and belonging. Together, we’ll work to uncover and understand the unconscious patterns driving your anxiety, helping you build greater self-acceptance and confidence in social interactions. Over time, you’ll feel more at ease in your own skin and less controlled by the fear of being judged.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with coping with social anxiety issues can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can explore how to address your social anxiety and how these struggles may impact your happiness and ability to get what you want. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.
