Social anxiety can show up as fear of being judged, worrying about how others perceive you, difficulty speaking up, feeling tense or high anxiety in social settings, wanting to cancel plans or isolate, a fear of judgement, or replaying conversations and interactions in your mind. You may feel pressure to perform, hide parts of yourself, or experience physical symptoms of anxiety when around others. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to help release the deeper roots of social fear and tension. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports you in feeling safer, more grounded in your body, and more able to show up as your authentic self with greater ease.

As a psychotherapist I can employ various techniques and approaches to help someone with social anxiety disorder. Here are some common methods:
1. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach focuses on identifying and challenging negative thoughts and beliefs related to social situations. By examining and restructuring these thoughts, individuals can develop more realistic and positive thinking patterns.
2. Exposure Therapy: This technique involves gradually exposing individuals to social situations that provoke anxiety. The therapist helps create a supportive and safe environment for the person to face their fears and develop coping strategies. Over time, repeated exposure can help desensitize the person to anxiety-provoking situations.
3. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and breathing exercises, can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and bodily sensations. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can learn to manage their anxiety symptoms and increase their tolerance for discomfort in social situations.
4. Social Skills Training: This involves teaching individuals specific social skills, such as effective communication, assertiveness, and conflict resolution. By practicing these skills in therapy sessions and real-life situations, individuals can improve their confidence and ability to interact with others.
5. Supportive Therapy: Providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express their feelings and fears can be essential. The therapist can offer emotional support, validation, and guidance throughout the therapeutic process.
6. Medication: In some cases, medication may be prescribed alongside therapy to help manage the symptoms of social anxiety disorder. Psychotherapists may work collaboratively with psychiatrists or other medical professionals to determine the need for medication.
It's important to note that the specific approach used may vary depending on the therapist's training, the severity of the individual's symptoms, and their preferences. A psychotherapist will typically tailor the treatment plan to the unique needs and goals of each person with social anxiety disorder.

Therapist, RCC, CCC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, whether you're worried about being judged, saying the wrong thing, or how others perceive you. You might find yourself overthinking conversations, avoiding situations, or replaying interactions long after they've ended. My approach draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to explore and process feelings that contribute to social anxiety. Together, we can work toward feeling more comfortable being yourself around others, less caught up in fear of judgment, and freer to engage in the relationships and experiences that matter to you.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Social anxiety is both a cognitive and a physiological response. I help clients understand what their body is signalling in social situations and develop tools to regulate those reactions. With mindfulness and gradual exposure, social interactions can feel more relaxed and authentic.
