Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
My approach is rooted in creating a supportive and gradual space for individuals to navigate the challenges of social interactions. In our sessions, I provide a safe and empathetic environment where clients can explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors associated with social anxiety. We get curious regarding social anxiety's roots and function in order to forge a more balanced and empowering path forward.
Together, we work to identify the underlying causes and triggers of social anxiety, recognizing the unique experiences each client brings to the therapeutic relationship. I guide clients through evidence-based strategies to manage anxiety symptoms, build self-confidence, and develop effective social skills.
My focus is on empowering individuals to face social situations with greater ease, promoting gradual, gentle exposure and desensitization techniques when the client is ready. We collaboratively set realistic goals, practice communication skills, and explore cognitive-behavioral strategies to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns.
Throughout the therapeutic process, I aim to foster a sense of self-acceptance and provide tools for clients to navigate social interactions authentically. By addressing social anxiety in a supportive and understanding manner, the goal is to help individuals build the confidence to engage in social activities and lead a more fulfilling, connected life.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Do you find yourself afraid of what others will say or think? Do these fears keep you from living out loud? Maybe you feel social anxiety only in certain situations, and not in others. Regardless, when social anxiety is high, many people find that their life gets smaller, or they get quieter - usually when it matters most. We can focus on learning ways to overcome social anxiety through patience and skill building, but always for a purpose - to live more in line with what matters.
