Social Anxiety
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults struggling with social anxiety, shyness, or fear of judgment in personal, professional, or social settings. I help clients understand how patterns of worry, avoidance, and self-criticism develop and how they impact relationships, confidence, and daily life.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to support emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build coping skills. Therapy emphasizes self-compassion, confidence, and practical strategies to navigate social situations, communicate effectively, and foster meaningful connections.

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.
