Social Anxiety
Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It is incredibly exhausting to walk into a room and instantly feel like everyone is judging you, or to spend hours overthinking a casual conversation after it’s already over. Social anxiety loves to make you feel isolated and keep you playing small to avoid embarrassment. We will work together to lower that intense internal pressure, quiet the fear of rejection, and build realistic comfort so you can show up in social or professional spaces without your nervous system going into overdrive.

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.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Social anxiety can make even the simplest interactions feel overwhelming. Maybe you spend hours replaying conversations in your head, fearing you said the wrong thing. Perhaps you avoid certain situations altogether—speaking up in meetings, attending social events, or even making phone calls—because the discomfort feels unbearable. The fear of being judged, embarrassed, or not “good enough” can be exhausting, leaving you feeling isolated or stuck in patterns of avoidance.
But social anxiety doesn’t have to dictate your life. Together, we’ll explore the underlying fears that keep you feeling trapped, work on quieting self-criticism, and develop strategies that help you step into social situations with more ease and confidence. You don’t need to be outgoing or fearless to live fully—you just need the tools to navigate social experiences in a way that feels manageable and authentic to you. Growth is possible, and you don’t have to take this step alone.
