Social Anxiety
Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can quietly shape how you move through the world—leading you to hold back, overprepare, overanalyze, or avoid situations that feel emotionally risky. You may long for connection while also fearing judgment, criticism, rejection, or not being accepted as you are. Together, we will explore the roots of these fears while helping you feel more secure, authentic, and at ease in relationships and social situations.

Social Anxiety
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.

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.

Social Anxiety
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.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Social anxiety is more than shyness. It can leave you overthinking conversations, worrying about how you're perceived, or holding yourself back from the relationships and experiences you want. Therapy can help you understand the fears beneath the anxiety, quiet the voice of self-consciousness, and feel more confident showing up as your authentic self.

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.

Brooklyn is home to one of the most culturally and economically diverse therapy communities in the United States, with practices concentrated in Park Slope, Fort Greene, Crown Heights, and Williamsburg serving an extraordinarily wide range of backgrounds and needs. The borough's large Caribbean, West African, Haitian, and Orthodox Jewish communities drive sustained demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists who understand the intersection of identity, faith, and mental health. Brooklyn's rapid gentrification and rising rents have become significant mental health stressors, and therapists frequently address the grief of displacement experienced by long-term residents alongside the adjustment challenges of newer arrivals. SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and Maimonides Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources for a borough of nearly three million people.
