Social Anxiety
Samia Geraghty
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Social anxiety is much more than just being shy; it is a persistent, paralyzing fear of being judged, scrutinized, or rejected by others. When you live with social anxiety, simple everyday interactions—like making small talk, speaking up in a meeting, or eating in front of people—can trigger an intense flood of dread and physical symptoms like sweating, a racing heart, or a shaking voice. You might find yourself constantly overanalyzing your behavior, replaying conversations for hours afterward to search for mistakes, or avoiding social events altogether. While avoiding these situations brings temporary relief, it ultimately shrinks your world, leaving you feeling lonely, frustrated, and disconnected from the life you want to live. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to replace negative beliefs with self-compassion and confidence. Together, we will work to calm your overactive nervous system and challenge the harsh, negative assumptions driving your anxiety. You will learn practical, evidence-based coping skills to manage physical panic in real-time, allowing you to gradually face social situations with confidence, quiet your inner critic, and build genuine, relaxed connections with others.

Dan Safavi
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-22108
I help adults who feel anxious, self-conscious, or overly focused on how they are being perceived in social situations. Therapy can help you reduce avoidance, become less caught up in self-monitoring, and feel more comfortable connecting with others without needing every interaction to go perfectly.

Social Anxiety
Mallory Lamb
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I utilize evidence-based therapies of CBT and ERP for social anxiety. At the heart of social anxiety is a fear of negative evaluation by others, which often begins in adolescence and continues in adulthood. We will explore formation of beliefs (developmental history) and factors maintaining those beliefs. With support, guidance, and gentle challenging and accountability by me, we will disrupt the cycle of avoidance that is perpetuating social anxiety to challenge long-held fears.
