Social Anxiety
Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety often results in avoidance of many activities. In these cases, fear is running the show. I work to unpack the fear of rejection and encourage people to slowly go out of their comfort zone.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If social situations leave you overthinking every interaction, you may be experiencing social anxiety. Meetings, conversations, or group settings can feel draining when worry about being judged or misunderstood is always present. Therapy focuses on understanding the patterns behind social anxiety and building confidence so social and professional interactions feel more manageable.

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.

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.
