Michelle Borunda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with clients whose social anxiety shows up as overthinking interactions, fear of judgment, or exhaustion after socializing, helping you feel more grounded in connection rather than constantly on guard.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, risky, or overanalyzed long after they are over. It may show up as fear of being judged, difficulty speaking up, avoiding certain people or situations, replaying conversations, or feeling tense in groups, dating, work, family, or community settings. In therapy, I help clients understand the thoughts, fears, and past experiences that may be keeping social anxiety in place. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life. Together, we work on building confidence, reducing overthinking, strengthening self-acceptance, and developing tools that help you show up more fully and comfortably in your relationships and daily life.

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.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
With social anxiety we will work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions as well as positive self talk, behavioral activation, probability estimation, pros and cons of being social, social skills & social cues, and behavioral activation (taking action). Often times we make something seem scarier in our own mind than it actually is. With anxiety one of the best ways to overcome it is simply to engage in the activity that scares you. I will help you to stop your negative thinking, to learn relaxation techniques and coping skills and then encourage you to face your fears and gain practice in social situations.
