Social Anxiety
Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety may stem from feelings of vulnerability, like you don't belong, past experiences of rejection, fears of judgment, and/or a sensitive nervous system's that needs lower stimulation and greater predictability than social interactions entail. Socializing or the thought of meeting people can come with feelings of fear, embarrassment, self-consciousness, and self-doubt. It's easier to avoid interacting with others, but the temporary comfort this brings leads to greater discomfort in the long run. You feel like your social anxiety is hindering your relationships and keeping you from experiencing life as fully as you'd like.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them, while honoring who you are.

Social Anxiety
David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for social anxiety, I help you identify and challenge the fear of being judged or scrutinized by others in social or performance situations. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe self-critical thoughts while teaching you practical social skills and grounding techniques to manage physical discomfort. Through gradual, supportive exposure to social settings, I work with you to build genuine self-confidence and reduce the need for avoidance or safety behaviors.

Social Anxiety
Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
If being watched, judged, or evaluated makes your mind race and your body tense, you know what social anxiety costs; friendships not made, chances not taken, moments you dreaded instead of enjoyed. I help you understand the fear underneath it, settle your nervous system in the moment, and gradually build the confidence to be seen. You don't have to become someone else; you just have to stop bracing against yourself.

Social Anxiety
Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, often accompanied by fears of judgment, rejection, embarrassment, or not being accepted by others. These experiences can interfere with relationships, professional opportunities, and the ability to express ourselves authentically. I help individuals explore the underlying experiences, beliefs, and relational patterns that contribute to social anxiety. My approach emphasizes developing greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence while understanding the deeper concerns about belonging, vulnerability, and connection that may underlie these struggles. Together, we work toward reducing anxiety, developing more fulfilling relationships, and increasing the freedom to engage with others in ways that feel genuine, meaningful, and authentic.
