Social Anxiety
Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Social anxiety can make connection feel dangerous, even when it is deeply wanted. I help adults understand the shame, fear of evaluation, and relational expectations underlying social anxiety while using acceptance, self-compassion, and gradual exposure to reduce avoidance and support more authentic participation in relationships and community.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You overthink everything you say. You replay conversations long after they’re over, second-guessing how you came across. Maybe you dread group settings, avoid situations where you might be put on the spot, or mask your discomfort so well that no one would ever know how anxious you feel inside. Social anxiety doesn’t always look like panic—it can look like perfectionism, avoidance, or exhaustion from constantly managing how you’re perceived.
Dr. Jenny Shields helps people who are quietly carrying social anxiety beneath the surface—especially those who seem calm and capable on the outside but feel anything but on the inside. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-based work, she helps you gently face the fears that are running the show, learn new ways to respond, and build confidence from the inside out. Her approach is warm, respectful, and deeply attuned to the sensitivity that often comes with social anxiety. Together, you’ll work to ease the self-doubt, drop the need to perform, and reclaim your voice—not by becoming someone else, but by learning to show up as yourself.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is very common and very painful. Even though social anxiety is a common condition, each of us feels it in our own way. I have learned that social anxiety can best be treated with a combination of individual therapy and group therapy. At the beginning of individual therapy people are often reluctant to join a group. But even if you never choose to engage in group therapy, individual therapy can help. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with social anxiety.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating social anxiety, from discomfort in specific professional situations like public speaking or networking to more pervasive difficulty feeling at ease around others. For some clients, this includes the particular experience of neurodivergence, not being sure whether you're following the rhythm of a conversation or reading social cues the way others expect. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a structured way to understand what's driving the anxiety and build practical tools and gradual exposure to manage it. Many of my clients are professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom social anxiety is compounded by code-switching or navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.
