Yuanfei Zhang
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel like a performance. I help clients slow down, understand their patterns, and gradually build confidence through real-world practice, so that connecting with others starts to feel more natural and less exhausting.

Creative Now Therapy, Cristina Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, racing thoughts, frozen silence, or fear of being judged. I help sensitive adults explore the roots of that fear and gently shift it using body-based practices, somatic therapy, and relational healing. Together, we build self-trust and regulation so you can feel more confident and connected without masking who you are.

Lisa Taylor-Austin
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, LMHC, CFMHE, CFBA, LCPC, LCMHC
Social anxiety responds very well to evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and gradual exposure. In our work together, we would take a thoughtful and structured approach—identifying the thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety while slowly building comfort and confidence in social situations. Over time, this process can help you feel more at ease, capable, and self-assured in your interactions with others.
