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.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Kristen Roman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with clients with social anxiety using exposure therapy. We'll help you start to gradually approach the social situations that you've been avoiding, or that just make you very anxious. I'll also teach you how to approach these situations differently, within your actions and thoughts, so that you can learn to get more comfortable in them and build confidence socially.
