Social Anxiety
Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety is more than just being shy; it is an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. This can lead to avoiding social gatherings or "over-analyzing" every interaction long after it's over. Therapy provides a gradual, supportive way to challenge these fears, helping you build social confidence and engage with others without the heavy weight of self-consciousness.

Social Anxiety
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Social anxiety is often a protective strategy—a part of your system that is working overtime to shield you from the perceived threat of judgment or rejection. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you move beyond 'just trying to be more social' to understanding the root of the anxiety that makes being seen feel dangerous.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore the survival strategies—like perfectionism, withdrawal, or constant self-monitoring—that your system developed to keep you safe in social settings. Together, we work to heal the underlying vulnerabilities these parts are protecting, helping you move toward a grounded sense of self-assurance and the freedom to connect with others authentically and with ease.

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.

Social Anxiety
Caroline Lacelle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
My treatment approach follows the three phases of trauma treatment; resourcing, reprocessing, and reorienting. Together we will determine the resources you may need to tap into a grounded sense of self through somatic practices and parts work. Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR, and ART guide reprocessing to shift past experiences into the past so you can reorient and engage fully in the present.
