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.

College Station is home to Texas A&M University, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's identity and mental health landscape are defined almost entirely by Aggie culture—the intense school spirit, Corps of Cadets traditions, and the social and academic pressures of a large flagship university in a relatively isolated college town in the Brazos Valley. Texas A&M's student counseling services are a primary resource, but demand consistently outpaces capacity at a university of this scale, and private therapists in the Bryan-College Station area serve both student and community populations. The conservative character and Aggie culture's emphasis on strength and tradition can create barriers to mental health help-seeking, particularly for men and members of the Corps. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic pressure, identity development, anxiety, depression, and the social dynamics of a community where university affiliation shapes nearly every aspect of life.
