Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in social anxiety because I believe no one should have to live in fear of judgment or feel isolated by their own mind. Social anxiety is far more than just shyness—it is a, often debilitating, fear of being scrutinized that restricts careers, relationships, and daily life.
I help clients break the cycle of avoidance by using evidence-based tools, such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Challenging and reframing the automatic negative thoughts that fuel anxiety.
Gradual Exposure: Safely facing feared social situations to build lasting confidence.
Skill Development: Learning practical techniques for relaxation, conversation, and assertiveness.
My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can dismantle those barriers together, allowing you to re-engage with the world on your own terms. Social anxiety is highly treatable, and I am passionate about guiding clients toward freedom and connection.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety is not shyness. It is the experience of being watched by a judge who lives inside your own head — a judge who arrived long before you ever chose to listen to it. Every room becomes a performance. Every interaction is graded. The exhaustion is not from other people. It is from the constant labor of self-surveillance. Therapy works not by teaching you to ignore the judge but by understanding whose voice it actually is, and why it was installed in the first place.
