Social Anxiety
Allied Psychotherapy Group
Psychologist
Social anxiety can make everyday situations feel like a performance where you are constantly worried about saying the wrong thing, being judged, or not measuring up. You may avoid social events, overthink conversations afterward, or feel anxious in work, dating, school, or group settings. Our therapists help clients understand the cycle of social anxiety and gradually build greater confidence and comfort around other people. Therapy may include practical strategies for managing anxious thoughts, reducing avoidance, and approaching feared situations at a pace that feels manageable, so anxiety has less control over the life you want to live.

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.
