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.

Social Anxiety
Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
You rehearse conversations before they happen. You replay them long after they're over. You cancel plans you actually wanted to keep, say yes when you mean no, and spend so much energy managing how you come across that you leave every interaction exhausted.
Social anxiety isn't shyness. It's a persistent, often exhausting experience of fear around how others perceive you — and it can quietly limit your world in ways that are hard to even name, because avoidance starts to feel like preference.
I work with people across the full range of social anxiety, from the low-grade discomfort that shows up in meetings or social gatherings to the kind that makes phone calls, eye contact, or new relationships feel genuinely unbearable. We work together to understand where it started, what's keeping it going, and how to gradually build a life that isn't organized around avoiding the things that scare you.
This isn't about becoming an extrovert or performing confidence you don't feel. It's about getting your choices back — being able to decide what you do and don't want based on what matters to you, not based on fear.
Social anxiety often overlaps with depression, perfectionism, and ADHD, and I'm experienced in treating the whole picture. If faith is part of your life, we can bring that into the work as well.
You don't have to keep disappearing to feel safe.

Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
Social anxiety can show up in different ways: physical reactions when socializing, beliefs about not being liked, worries about how to interact with others, and tendencies of shutting down around others. EMDR and IFS can be helpful modalities to target these thoughts and symptoms by lowering distress and reframing core beliefs.

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.
