Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
I work with individuals struggling with social anxiety, including fear of judgment, self-consciousness, and avoidance of social or performance situations. My approach focuses on helping clients understand the patterns that maintain anxiety while building practical tools to regulate the nervous system and respond more effectively in the moment. I support clients in gradually facing feared situations, challenging negative self-beliefs, and improving confidence in social interactions. Together, we work to reduce avoidance, increase a sense of ease and authenticity, and create more meaningful connections in both personal and professional settings.

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.

Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
Logan Williamson
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Social anxiety can be really crippling because people who are socially anxious are not always the same people that avoid social situations, and therefore they can stay chronically activated. My work looks to check in with the environment, find social supports, and, critically, hold our thinking to account so that we can view the world as much safer than our worst thoughts describe it to be in our head.

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.
