Social Anxiety
Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with social anxiety. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. This can include fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to social anxiety. She also integrates exposure therapy, a CBT method that gradually exposes clients to feared social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Downs incorporates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. Her holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Downs provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. She also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Downs is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Social anxiety can feel like a constant loop of overthinking, second-guessing, and wondering if you said or did the wrong thing. You might dread small talk, avoid group settings, or replay conversations long after they’re over. Even when others see you as “fine,” you may still feel anxious, self-conscious, or like you're never fully at ease.
I work with people who are tired of feeling stuck in their own heads. In therapy, we’ll explore where these patterns come from and how to start shifting them—without forcing yourself to “just get over it.” We’ll build tools to manage anxiety in the moment, work through the deeper emotional layers behind it, and help you feel more confident and present in your relationships and day-to-day life.
Social anxiety doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means something in you needs support, understanding, and space to heal.
