Social Anxiety
Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you constantly seeking acceptance from others? Do you struggle with being your authentic self because you worry about how other's perceive you? Do you avoid social situations because you fear you may say something wrong or not be liked by others? Anxiety can be debilitating in social situations. CBT is often used to assist individuals with increasing confidence in social situations and learning how to give oneself grace when they say or do something wrong. Dr. Goodwin will work on helping individuals to let go of the idea that they need to be perfect, or what they perceive as the perfect person, to be liked by others so they can work on being the person they were meant to be. Together, we can work on helping you to believe in yourself and be the best version of who you are meant to be.

Social Anxiety
Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
Social anxiety is more than shyness—it’s the persistent fear of judgment, exposure, or saying the wrong thing that leads to avoidance, over-monitoring, or withdrawal. Many high-functioning men manage work and responsibilities well while quietly avoiding social situations, speaking up, or forming deeper connections.
Therapy for social anxiety focuses on reducing threat sensitivity, unlearning self-critical patterns, and building steady confidence in real-world interactions. With structured, evidence-based work, men learn to engage socially without overthinking, regain ease around others, and show up more fully in professional and personal settings.

Social Anxiety
Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LCAC, LPC, LPCC, LCMHC
Social anxiety often reflects more than fear of judgment—it can be rooted in deeper expectations about how you will be seen, evaluated, or responded to by others. Many individuals carry an internal sense of being exposed, inadequate, or out of place, even when there is no clear external threat. In therapy, we work to understand how these internal expectations formed and how they shape your current interactions. As these patterns are brought into awareness and worked through in a relational context, the intensity of the anxiety begins to shift, allowing for more natural and confident engagement with others.

Social Anxiety
Loren Soeiro
Psychologist, Ph.D. ABPP
Social anxiety can make ordinary interactions feel high-stakes—with worries about being judged, pressure to say the “right” thing, and conversations replayed later on. In therapy, we can examine the beliefs or previous experiences that generate these fears, while also building tolerance for social discomfort. This work combines practical exposure strategies with deeper understanding, so you can participate more freely and feel less preoccupied about how you are perceived.
