Happy Apple - Center for Anxiety, Depression, & Couples
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, PhD, LMHC
Social anxiety is a common complaint among our clients. Treatment often involves identifying maladaptive thoughts that trigger and perpetuate self-consciousness. An exploration into historical and circumstantial contributors to social anxiety is sometimes helpful so that such factors can be mitigated. In addition, clients often learn skills for reducing anxiety and bolstering confidence in social situations.

Josh Stieber
Psychologist, PhD
You are probably on this page because you know how much social anxiety can hold you back. I believe that your anxieties arose at some point as a way to try to keep you safe. But sometimes that protective wall can feel like a prison. If we work together, I would support you in understanding how your psyche built this layer of protection. We would then befriend the vulnerable parts of yourself that have relied on this protection. Through welcoming these parts, we can then find more satisfying ways of taking care of yourself.

Tala Abu Rahma
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
Our work starts by acknowledging the social, cultural, and environmental conditions that may contribute to the problems that affect your quality of life and capacity to receive or engage in mental health care. Therapy is tailored to your preferences to minimize stressors and build skills for interacting more effectively with the outside world. The behaviors, emotions, relationship patterns, or self-beliefs that no longer work for you can be transformed, rather than pathologized by identifying external power imbalances that impede quality of life and highlighting the good intentions behind difficult interactions.

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.
