Social Anxiety
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Social anxiety reflects fears of visibility, judgment, and emotional exposure. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration with somatic awareness to understand how relational fear is held in both the body and inner life. This process supports greater confidence, presence, and emotional freedom in social and intimate situations.

Social Anxiety
Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Through specialized virtual assessments, I help individuals understand how social anxiety impacts their cognitive functioning, daily performance, and overall quality of life, providing comprehensive evaluations from the privacy and comfort of home. My approach to social anxiety assessment goes beyond symptom identification, examining how anxiety affects attention, memory, decision-making, and executive functioning—crucial insights for developing effective treatment strategies. With extensive experience evaluating the intersection of anxiety and cognitive performance, I provide detailed assessments that differentiate social anxiety from other conditions, identify specific triggers and patterns, and offer evidence-based recommendations for therapy, accommodations, and coping strategies tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

Social Anxiety
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals struggling with social anxiety, fear of judgment, and difficulty feeling comfortable or confident in social and professional settings. With extensive clinical experience treating anxiety across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping reduce reactivity and increase a sense of calm and control. Together, we build confidence, strengthen communication, and learn how to become more comfortable with the inherent lack of control in social environments, supporting more authentic and relaxed engagement.
16 Years Experience
Online in Akron, OH (Online Only)
Akron's identity as the 'Rubber City' — once the world capital of tire manufacturing — has given way to a post-industrial economy navigating transformation, and therapists here frequently address the long-term psychological effects of deindustrialization: economic stress, community grief, and the identity challenges of a workforce that has had to reinvent itself across generations. The city is home to the University of Akron and has a growing health sciences and polymer science sector, creating a more economically diverse population than its industrial reputation suggests. Summa Health and Cleveland Clinic Akron General provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community concentrated in West Akron, Fairlawn, and the Highland Square neighborhood. Akron's significant Black community and the city's ongoing recovery from decades of economic decline shape a therapy culture in which community resilience and racial equity are recurring clinical themes.
