Social Anxiety
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.

Social Anxiety
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals who struggle with social anxiety, fear of judgment, or ongoing discomfort in social situations. This can include anxiety around conversations, dating, work interactions, public settings, or being seen and evaluated by others. Social anxiety often leads people to avoid situations they care about or to feel exhausted from constantly monitoring how they come across.
In therapy, we focus on understanding what drives this anxiety and how it affects your relationships and daily life. I help clients develop practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, reduce self consciousness, and feel more grounded during social interactions. We also work on building confidence and self trust so that social situations feel less overwhelming over time.
The goal is not to become someone you are not, but to help you show up more comfortably and authentically in relationships, work, and community. With support and practice, many clients find they are able to engage more fully and with less fear.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Social anxiety is a disorder that eats its' own tail. The more of an outsider we feel we are, the more of an outsider we become, avoiding people or becoming more anxious. We now have new tools to stop this downward spiral & can take you to a place where you can be more comfortable in your own skin.
