Social Anxiety
Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Persistent and intense fears of being watched, judged, or evaluated negatively by others in social or performance situations are very different than feeling shy or nervous. The fears are often out of proportion to the actual threat the situation poses. Common triggers may include: meeting new people; starting conversations; dating; eating or drinking in front of others; being the center of attention. Many individuals either avoid such situations, or endure them with significant distress. Together, we can explore how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations reinforce each other when anxiety levels spike. Our goal will be to identify and challenge distorted beliefs, and then replace them with more accurate thoughts. In addition, reducing subtle avoidance tactics will help you come to realize that you can in fact handle these situations successfully.

Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgment, self-consciousness, and discomfort in social or performance situations. Many clients avoid social interactions or feel tense and overwhelmed despite wanting to connect and engage more fully with others. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with exploration of underlying emotional and cognitive patterns, helping clients build confidence, reduce anxiety, and develop practical skills to navigate social situations with greater ease and self-assurance.
