Social Anxiety
Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming—whether it’s speaking in groups, meeting new people, attending social events, or expressing your needs. I work with individuals who experience intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, or avoidance in social situations, helping them move toward greater confidence and ease in their relationships and daily lives.
Together, we explore the roots of your anxiety, identify specific triggers, and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce fear and build self-assurance. My approach is gentle, supportive, and tailored to your pace, focusing on both skill-building and the emotional insight needed for lasting change.
With time and support, it is possible to shift from avoidance to connection—and to engage more fully in life with authenticity, presence, and self-trust.

Dr. Monica Dyer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, MPH, FNP, PMHNP
As a Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion is helping people feel seen, supported, and understood during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and safe space, and my goal is to offer care that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I am so grateful to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and many other mental health struggles. I provide both medication management and supportive therapeutic care.
For patients healing from trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a gentle approach that helps people move forward without being overwhelmed by their past. My background includes street medicine, community health, and international humanitarian work, all of which have shaped my respect for the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

Social Anxiety
Joseph Harwerth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When treating social anxiety, I start by addressing the endless internal debate that people with this condition have with themselves before, during, and after social interactions. A joke I share with every client is, “If all it took to beat anxiety was a strong, persuasive argument, I’d refer you to a lawyer instead of a therapist.” My role isn’t to train you to win that debate, it’s to help you step away from it. Once you learn to step out of that entanglement, you can find the peace you’ve been searching for.

ThinkSpot Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel more difficult than they appear, from meeting new people and speaking up to navigating friendships, dating, school, or work. For some, the pressure to fit in or constantly compare themselves to others can be intensified by social media and the expectation to always be connected. ThinkSpot Therapy can help clients understand the thoughts and fears driving social anxiety, build confidence in social situations, and develop practical ways to manage the physical and emotional stress that comes with it. We provide a supportive space to practice being more comfortable and present without feeling like you have to constantly measure up.

Janika Williams
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC, CSC
When everyday interactions leave you replaying conversations, questioning yourself, or worrying about how others perceive you, social situations can become exhausting. We help clients address fears of judgment, build confidence, and gradually feel more comfortable showing up authentically in relationships and social settings.

Jonathan Hock -- Men's Work
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism in men often masks a deeper struggle with meaning, control, and self-worth. It can drive relentless effort and achievement while quietly eroding satisfaction, connection, and a sense of authenticity. I work with men to uncover what perfectionism is protecting or avoiding, to explore the fears and expectations that fuel it, and to examine how it shapes daily life. The goal is not to eliminate striving, but to bring awareness and choice to it, so that effort serves purpose rather than anxiety, and men can engage with life more fully and freely.

Social Anxiety
Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.
