Social Anxiety therapists in Chinatown, New York NY
Desiree Woehrle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SIFI
Social Anxiety is when you feel intensified fear, discomfort, flooding thoughts or panic when in social situations, especially ones where you are meeting new people, speaking in front of a group or going on a date. Many people not diagnosed with social anxiety feel nervousness in these situations, however, for some, it is really getting in the way of successful partnerships, friendships, career advancement and other aspects of daily life. It's not something to be embarrassed of! With the right tools and a safe holding space for processing how things came to feel this way, you'll be on the road to recovery before you know it. The group therapy we offer monthly or bi-weekly can be great ways of connecting with others who feel similarly and are practicing fearlessness in networking and adulting.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is something that impacts all of us. For many, there’s a general sense of dread or feeling of being unsafe that holds us back from life. For some, social anxiety is a significant barrier to creating connection with others. Anxiety can show up in our thoughts as well as our bodies, and it can prevent us from living the life we want. The most important thing to remember when it comes to anxiety is that most of our fearful thoughts are false. Your brain sends a compelling signal that you’re in mortal danger, but most times the stakes just aren’t that high. Learn how to challenge that signal and lead a richer, more full life.

Do you find yourself nervous in social situations? Do you often opt out of social interaction or have trouble initiating relationships? Social Anxiety has become more prevalent over the last few years, spurred by the pandemic and subsequent need for social distancing and isolation.
