Abby Leefer, LCSW-R - Perspectives Counseling of LI

Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, often involving fear of judgment, embarrassment, or rejection. You may find yourself avoiding social situations or feeling distressed before, during, or after interactions. Our therapists provide a supportive space to understand these patterns and how they are maintained over time. Together, we work to build confidence, reduce avoidance, and develop skills to navigate social situations with greater ease and comfort.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.
