Social Anxiety
Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, triggering self-doubt, overthinking, and a constant fear of judgment. At Root & Rise, we treat social anxiety by combining evidence-based methods with The Stark Contrast™—our signature blend of Creative Arts Therapy and cognitive-emotional processing developed by co-founder Julie Stark, LCSW. This approach helps clients move beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging both the analytical and expressive parts of the brain. Through guided creative exercises, emotional mapping, nervous-system awareness, and structured skill-building, clients learn to address the fears underneath their social anxiety while also practicing new ways of showing up confidently in real-world situations. The Stark Contrast™ helps you shift from avoidance and self-consciousness into clarity, connection, and self-trust—so social interactions feel less threatening and more authentically you.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I work with individuals experiencing social anxiety, including fear of judgment, discomfort in social situations, and difficulty speaking up or feeling at ease around others. Together, we explore the thought patterns and physical responses that fuel anxiety, while gently working to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social settings. My approach is supportive and practical, helping you build real-world coping tools so you can feel more grounded, present, and comfortable in interactions at your own pace. The focus is on increasing confidence, easing social distress, and supporting you in showing up more fully and authentically in your relationships and daily life. If you’re ready to feel more at ease around others, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.
