Social anxiety often comes from past experiences of rejection, bullying, trauma, or feeling different. In therapy we work on reducing the intensity of anxiety, building social confidence, and understanding the deeper emotional experiences that make social situations feel unsafe.

Social Anxiety
Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Social anxiety is more than shyness. It's the mental rehearsal before every conversation, the replay after, and the exhaustion of performing normalcy while dreading what people think. We work with people who are tired of letting anxiety run the show, helping them build confidence, quiet the self-criticism, and start engaging with the world in a way that feels more like them.

Social Anxiety
Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
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.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris 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.

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.
