Social Anxiety
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
This is caused by negative, usually unrealistic beliefs about ourselves & others. It is underpinned by actual childhood rejections, which now are projected out onto everyone we meet, especially onto strangers.

Allie Scott Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Isolation is too-often the result of symptoms of anxiety and fear. Anxiety and fear often manifest with physiological symptoms of distress in the body. I have extensive experience in helping clients experience relief from these symptoms and enjoy increased peace and a felt-sense of safety, and confidently reconnect with others.

Dawn Nelson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW-S, ACSW, SAP, CART
Social anxiety creates a sense of frustration with yourself. Stop blaming yourself and learn the tools you need to resolve the problem. For those who struggle to come to an office, I offer telephone or online sessions.

Brownsville is one of the southernmost cities in the United States and sits directly on the US-Mexico border — sharing the border with Matamoros, Tamaulipas — with a population that is over 90% Hispanic and where Spanish is the dominant language of daily life, making bilingual, bicultural therapy not a specialty but the baseline expectation for meaningful access to care. The city's poverty rate is among the highest in the United States, and therapists here frequently address the compounding effects of economic stress, immigration-related family separation, and the chronic anxiety of border community life. Valley Baptist Medical Center and the UT Health RGV system provide institutional mental health resources for the Rio Grande Valley region. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley's psychology and counseling programs supply clinical training to a region that remains significantly underserved relative to its mental health needs.
