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.

Emily Rowe
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming and stressful. I help individuals navigate social anxiety by providing tools to manage fears and discomfort in social settings. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, we’ll work together to reduce avoidance behaviors, build confidence, and improve your ability to connect with others. My goal is to help you feel more comfortable and in control in social situations.

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.

Kara Taylor
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals who feel anxious or self-conscious in social or performance situations. Whether it’s fear of judgment, overthinking interactions, or avoiding situations altogether, social anxiety can be limiting. In therapy, we take a gradual, structured approach to help you face these situations, reduce avoidance, and feel more comfortable and authentic in social settings.
