Social Anxiety
Loren Soeiro
Psychologist, Ph.D. ABPP
Social anxiety can make ordinary interactions feel high-stakes—with worries about being judged, pressure to say the “right” thing, and conversations replayed later on. In therapy, we can examine the beliefs or previous experiences that generate these fears, while also building tolerance for social discomfort. This work combines practical exposure strategies with deeper understanding, so you can participate more freely and feel less preoccupied about how you are perceived.

Dr. Thomas Ballas

My professional journey includes working in hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer in the U.S. Army, where I gained invaluable experience addressing diverse mental health concerns. Over the years, I have honed my skills in evidence-based therapies for social anxiety, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), through advanced training at leading military treatment facilities and esteemed private practices.

Together, we will create a personalized therapeutic plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

Social Anxiety
Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel high-stakes—leading to overthinking, self-consciousness, and a tendency to avoid situations that might otherwise be meaningful. In therapy, we take time to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going, while gently working toward greater comfort and flexibility in social settings. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and feelings that arise in the moment, and build your capacity to stay present and engaged—so interactions feel less overwhelming and more like an opportunity for genuine connection.

Who wants to feel better?
You, or else you wouldn't be looking at psychotherapists websites. But wait, there's more...maybe you're not sure you can feel better. Maybe you've never been to a psychotherapist before & this is all new to you or was something that "other people" did.

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.

Manhattan is one of the most therapist-dense places in the world, with independent practices concentrated on the Upper West Side, in Chelsea, Midtown, and the East Village, serving an extraordinarily high per-capita demand for mental health care. The borough's concentration of finance, media, law, and healthcare professionals generates consistent demand for therapists experienced with high-stakes careers, perfectionism, and the emotional costs of extreme professional ambition. Manhattan also serves as the entry point for many immigrants from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and West Africa, and multilingual therapists make up a significant portion of the local clinical community. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone, and numerous academic training clinics provide institutional anchors and training pipelines for the borough's large private practice ecosystem.
