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.

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.

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.

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.
