Social Anxiety
Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with social anxiety, I help clients explore the fears and self-conscious thoughts that can arise in social or performance situations. Social anxiety often involves both mental patterns and a nervous system that becomes easily activated. Together we work to gently build awareness, regulate the body’s stress response, and develop greater confidence so you can engage with others in a way that feels more comfortable and authentic.

Ashton Burdick
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, NCC, LCMHC
I enjoy helping individuals who struggle with social anxiety, "shyness", or introversion. As a life-long introvert and socially anxious person, I understand how hard it can be to get through some social situations. I can help you build skills to manage the anxiety and awkwardness, as well as improve acceptance of yourself.

Social Anxiety
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Worrying about what others think, overanalyzing conversations, or avoiding social situations can make everyday life feel stressful and limiting. Social anxiety often shows up in school, friendships, and new environments. My goal is to help you reduce anxious thoughts and develop practical strategies for feeling more comfortable and authentic in social settings—so you can connect with others without the constant pressure.

Social Anxiety
Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting or high-stakes, even when others can’t tell. Whether you’re avoiding conversations, overthinking everything you say, or feeling like you can’t be yourself around others, I help clients work through the fear of judgment and build real confidence. You don’t have to become an extrovert. You just need tools to stop anxiety from calling the shots.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults working to overcome their significant anxiety and free their life from constant worry. Social anxiety is characterized by a fear of social perception or judgment and can be overwhelming and depressing as it can hold you back from what you truly want to achieve or what you have to offer the world. I work with individuals to find their confidence and voice again. It can be scary, but sometimes the scariest things are the most rewarding! Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!

Charleston is one of America's most historic and beautiful cities, a port town with deep antebellum roots and a complex racial history that came into stark focus with the 2015 massacre at Mother Emanuel AME Church, and the city's mental health landscape reflects both its appeal as a destination and the ongoing work of a community grappling with historical trauma and contemporary racial stress. The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), located in Charleston, operates one of the South's leading behavioral health training and service programs, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the city's growing professional and military populations. Joint Base Charleston brings a significant military community to the area, adding military and veteran mental health needs to an already complex and multifaceted therapy landscape. Common therapy concerns include trauma and community grief, racial identity and justice stress, military and veteran mental health, anxiety, and the strains of building a life in a city where the beauty of the physical environment can obscure deep historical wounds.
