Social Anxiety
Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Social anxiety can range from barely noticeable to debilitating. If you feel social anxiety is a problem in your life, I have many ways to address it. By identifying your personal experience of anxiety, we can work together to help reduce it using a combination of techniques that are appropriate for you. This may include mental strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Systematic Desensitization, or physical strategies such as breathing techniques, muscle relaxation, or other relaxation techniques.

Social Anxiety
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals who struggle with social anxiety, fear of judgment, or ongoing discomfort in social situations. This can include anxiety around conversations, dating, work interactions, public settings, or being seen and evaluated by others. Social anxiety often leads people to avoid situations they care about or to feel exhausted from constantly monitoring how they come across.
In therapy, we focus on understanding what drives this anxiety and how it affects your relationships and daily life. I help clients develop practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, reduce self consciousness, and feel more grounded during social interactions. We also work on building confidence and self trust so that social situations feel less overwhelming over time.
The goal is not to become someone you are not, but to help you show up more comfortably and authentically in relationships, work, and community. With support and practice, many clients find they are able to engage more fully and with less fear.
