Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have extensive experience working with individuals who struggle in certain social settings. I draw upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to explore how our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are all reciprocally related. This allows us to identify what changes we can make that will produce significant reduction in social anxiety symptoms.

Social Anxiety
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
At the heart of social anxiety is self esteem and uncertainty with your true self and letting that part of you interact with others without fear of not being good enough or not fitting in.
Social anxiety these days also has new meaning with the pandemic - comfort level, safety, and returning to social gatherings after an almost year of living without them.

Social Anxiety
Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
At Full Being Services, we understand that social anxiety is more than shyness—it’s a deeply felt fear of judgment, rejection, or inadequacy that can impact work, relationships, and daily life. Our trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach helps clients explore the underlying causes of anxiety while developing practical tools to navigate social situations with confidence.
We work with adolescents, young adults, and adults to build emotional regulation, communication skills, and self-compassion, while gradually expanding comfort and connection in social and professional settings. Therapy focuses on understanding triggers, reframing self-talk, and practicing strategies that make social engagement feel safe and manageable.
Social anxiety counseling at Full Being Services empowers clients to move from avoidance and self-doubt toward meaningful connection, authenticity, and a greater sense of ease in navigating the world.

Social Anxiety
Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to the treatment social anxiety is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs that contribute to fear and self-consciousness in social situations. Together, we use practical strategies such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, and social skills training to build confidence and reduce avoidance. This structured, supportive process helps clients develop a more balanced perspective and engage more comfortably and authentically in social interactions.

Blair Pallas
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When social anxiety makes your world feel small, it’s often because of internal stories about judgment and worth. Using evidence-based tools, we identify these patterns and practice new behaviors that bridge the gap between isolation and connection. Together we can get you navigating social spaces with greater freedom.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
