Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Social anxiety can make ordinary interactions feel like high-stakes performances, often rooted in early experiences of judgement or exclusion. I help clients understand where that fear originated and build both the practical confidence and the internal safety needed to engage more freely.

Abby Leefer, LCSW-R - Perspectives Counseling of LI
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, often involving fear of judgment, embarrassment, or rejection. You may find yourself avoiding social situations or feeling distressed before, during, or after interactions. Our therapists provide a supportive space to understand these patterns and how they are maintained over time. Together, we work to build confidence, reduce avoidance, and develop skills to navigate social situations with greater ease and comfort.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Social anxiety in high-performing men is uniquely paradoxical — these are men who can command a boardroom or lead a crew but privately dread casual social situations, feel certain they're being judged, or perform confidence they don't actually feel underneath. I work with men navigating social anxiety through Character Driven Therapy, examining the self-perception and inner critic driving the anxiety and building a more grounded internal identity that doesn't require constant monitoring of how others are responding. The goal is genuine ease in social situations — not a performance of ease that costs you every time.
