Rowe Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anger, stress, anxiety, depression, all go hand-in-hand. I help individuals prevent these feelings from rising, cope with them when they do arise, and problem solve after they have recognized their feelings and their needs.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients manage social anxiety, performance anxiety, fear of judgment, and discomfort in professional or personal interactions. Many clients overthink what they said, worry about being misunderstood, or feel pressure to appear confident even when they feel anxious inside. In therapy, we work on reducing avoidance, challenging self-critical thoughts, building confidence, and developing more authentic ways of relating to others. My goal is to help clients feel more comfortable, present, and confident in social situations.

Nat Nigro
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP
As a nonbinary AuDHD therapist, social anxiety is one common experience that my clients often have. I use a combination of approaches when supporting folks experiencing social anxiety, including coping skills (like DBT or CBT) as well as accommodations and supports. I think we all deserve a safe place to heal and be ourselves, and I would be honored to create one of those spaces for you.

Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming. Individuals may experience intense worry about being judged, embarrassed, criticized, or rejected in social situations. Our practice provides professional social anxiety counseling and anxiety therapy for individuals who struggle with social interactions, public speaking, meeting new people, workplace situations, school environments, relationships, or other social settings.
Social anxiety may contribute to avoidance, isolation, low self-confidence, excessive worry, physical anxiety symptoms, or difficulty developing meaningful relationships. Without support, these patterns can interfere with work, education, relationships, and everyday activities. We help clients identify anxiety triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping and communication skills, strengthen confidence, and gradually become more comfortable navigating social situations. Through individualized therapy for social anxiety, we help clients work toward greater confidence, connection, and emotional freedom.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
Social anxiety can be holding a client back from pursuing their life. I work with them to identify their issues and begin to get comfortable, little by little to address these issues. It takes time but the work pays off when a client can make the kind of change that can enhance their life.

Patricia McGuire
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-MHSP, NCC
Anxiety is a common (and uncomfortable!) experience we all encounter in our lives. Anxiety is not just one thing; it represents a myriad of responses in the human experience and it’s important to pay attention when it shows up.

Becca Edwards

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Social anxiety can turn everyday interactions, meetings, and public speaking into exhausting sources of dread. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and gradual exposure frameworks, I help clients identify and challenge catastrophic thinking patterns and fears of negative evaluation. Our clinical work focuses on disrupting avoidance behaviors, lowering physiological hyperarousal, and building authentic communication confidence so you can engage in professional and social spaces on your own terms.

Nashville's identity as the hub of the country music and entertainment industries creates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, creative identity, and the psychological pressures of a career where public persona and private self are often difficult to separate. The city's explosive growth — driven by healthcare, technology, and tourism — has brought a large influx of transplants navigating social isolation and the challenge of building community in a fast-changing city. Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA Healthcare, one of the largest hospital systems in the country, provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of private practices. Nashville's strong faith community means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
