Social Anxiety
Emily Rowe
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming and stressful. I help individuals navigate social anxiety by providing tools to manage fears and discomfort in social settings. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, we’ll work together to reduce avoidance behaviors, build confidence, and improve your ability to connect with others. My goal is to help you feel more comfortable and in control in social situations.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals understand social anxiety and loosen its grip, easing distress while making room for genuine connection. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we study what is happening at and beneath the surface—anticipatory fear, self-monitoring, and the meanings carried from past experience—and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less avoidance and second-guessing, more ease, choice, and confidence in relating to others.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety can be painful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. I understand why this is one of people's top fears. Talking in therapy about the worries you have and learning new ways to practice social skills as well as learning more accurate self talk and self appraisal can increase confidence and improve your social life.

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.
