Kairos IFS + Psychedelic Integration
Life Coach, IFS Institute, MAPS Harm Reduction, BTTY Psychedelic Integration, SF Microdosing Program, NLP
Does the thought of networking, public speaking, or socializing trigger a wave of dread or self-doubt? You might feel trapped in a painful loop: one part of you longs for connection and career visibility, while a protective part panics, overanalyzes everything, and convinces you it’s safer to stay isolated.
As an IFS-trained life coach, I help you transform your relationship with social anxiety so you can navigate professional and personal spaces with ease. In the Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework, social anxiety is not a defect; it is driven by protective parts—like an inner critic or hyper-vigilant protector—working overtime to shield you from judgment. Together, we will help these parts step back so your authentic confidence can lead.
We also offer macro and microsdosing support in these areas.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Social anxiety is a combination of fears that have a root in past experiences. It is the way we have found to protect ourselves after a traumatic experience. I help connect with our inner strengths as we understand the root of our fear, the purpose it is serving, and different ways to heal.

Social Anxiety
Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
Social anxiety can show up in different ways: physical reactions when socializing, beliefs about not being liked, worries about how to interact with others, and tendencies of shutting down around others. EMDR and IFS can be helpful modalities to target these thoughts and symptoms by lowering distress and reframing core beliefs.

Social Anxiety
Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Social anxiety can be an isolating and painful experience, whether it arises in social settings, at work, or even in the simple act of leaving the house. It involves both the external challenge of navigating relationships—expressing needs, setting boundaries, and feeling at ease socially—and the internal experience of anxiety, including difficulty breathing, panic, mental fog, and fear. In our work together, we will address both aspects, using somatic awareness and nervous system regulation to build confidence, ease, and a stronger sense of self. My goal is to support you in feeling grounded and empowered in your interactions, so you can connect more freely and fully with others.

Social Anxiety
Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients manage their social anxiety. People can be unpredictable and rejecting. For someone that is different, who struggles to pick up on subtle social cues, or who has social communication differences, interacting with others can be tiring and painful. Yet, so many of us are social creatures and get lonely. I enjoy helping clients build a supportive community, find their tribe, and feel more confident interacting with others.
