Social Anxiety
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You overthink everything you say. You replay conversations long after they’re over, second-guessing how you came across. Maybe you dread group settings, avoid situations where you might be put on the spot, or mask your discomfort so well that no one would ever know how anxious you feel inside. Social anxiety doesn’t always look like panic—it can look like perfectionism, avoidance, or exhaustion from constantly managing how you’re perceived.
Dr. Jenny Shields helps people who are quietly carrying social anxiety beneath the surface—especially those who seem calm and capable on the outside but feel anything but on the inside. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-based work, she helps you gently face the fears that are running the show, learn new ways to respond, and build confidence from the inside out. Her approach is warm, respectful, and deeply attuned to the sensitivity that often comes with social anxiety. Together, you’ll work to ease the self-doubt, drop the need to perform, and reclaim your voice—not by becoming someone else, but by learning to show up as yourself.

Social Anxiety
Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
You rehearse conversations before they happen. You replay them long after they're over. You cancel plans you actually wanted to keep, say yes when you mean no, and spend so much energy managing how you come across that you leave every interaction exhausted.
Social anxiety isn't shyness. It's a persistent, often exhausting experience of fear around how others perceive you — and it can quietly limit your world in ways that are hard to even name, because avoidance starts to feel like preference.
I work with people across the full range of social anxiety, from the low-grade discomfort that shows up in meetings or social gatherings to the kind that makes phone calls, eye contact, or new relationships feel genuinely unbearable. We work together to understand where it started, what's keeping it going, and how to gradually build a life that isn't organized around avoiding the things that scare you.
This isn't about becoming an extrovert or performing confidence you don't feel. It's about getting your choices back — being able to decide what you do and don't want based on what matters to you, not based on fear.
Social anxiety often overlaps with depression, perfectionism, and ADHD, and I'm experienced in treating the whole picture. If faith is part of your life, we can bring that into the work as well.
You don't have to keep disappearing to feel safe.
