Social Anxiety
Reshma Rampersad
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Therapy for social anxiety is centered on creating a safe and supportive space where you can gradually build confidence in social situations. Using a blend of cognitive-behavioral strategies, exposure techniques, and mindfulness practices, we work to challenge anxious thoughts, develop effective coping skills, and increase comfort in interactions. My goal is to help you shift from fear and avoidance to a place of self-assurance and meaningful connection with others

Social Anxiety
CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Social anxiety is more than being shy. It's the rehearsing, the replaying, the avoiding, the exhausting mental commentary that kicks in anytime other people are involved. At The CBT Center, we specialize in evidence-based treatment for social anxiety, including CBT and exposure therapy. We help patients actually do the things they've been avoiding and find out that the outcome is usually way less catastrophic than their brain predicted. You don't have to keep shrinking to feel safe.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with thoughtful, high‑achieving adults, often sensitive or highly self‑aware, who struggle with social anxiety. You may care deeply about connection but find that being around others brings up a lot of worry, overthinking, or dread. On the outside, you may seem capable and composed; inside, it can feel like a constant evaluation of how you are coming across. Social anxiety can feel like living in your head while your body is in the room. I work extensively with social anxiety in high‑responsibility adults and know how consuming it can feel, even when no one else sees it.
It can look like replaying conversations and worrying you said the wrong thing; avoiding gatherings, calls, or new situations because they feel too intense; fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen as awkward or boring; difficulty speaking up in groups, at work, or in class; feeling like you do not quite know the rules that other people seem to follow; or wanting close relationships but pulling back when things get more vulnerable. Over time, this can lead to isolation, loneliness, or feeling stuck in patterns you do not want.
In our work together, we get curious about where this started and how it shows up now. We make room for the part of you that is trying to keep you safe by staying small or hidden. From there, we explore small, doable steps toward more ease and authenticity with the people and situations that matter most to you, so you do not have to choose between protecting yourself and having the connections you want.

Social Anxiety
Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
People with social anxiety find it very hard to interact with others and will do whatever possible to avoid it. They constantly second guess themselves, and attribute any negative interaction to their own failure to relate. They also anticipate negative consequences even before attempting to interact. Luckily, through cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral techniques, you can overcome this problem.
