Social Anxiety
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Social anxiety can create intense feelings of fear or discomfort in social situations, affecting personal, professional, and social aspects of life. I help clients explore the underlying thoughts and beliefs that contribute to this anxiety while offering practical tools for managing fear and building confidence in social interactions. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure techniques, and mindfulness strategies, we work together to reduce avoidance behaviors, challenge negative self-talk, and develop more comfortable, authentic ways of engaging with others.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in social anxiety, my approach to treatment is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and social skills training, I work collaboratively with individuals to address underlying fears and negative thought patterns related to social situations. By gradually exposing clients to feared social scenarios in a supportive environment, we work together to challenge avoidance behaviors and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety symptoms. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome social anxiety, build confidence in social interactions, and cultivate meaningful connections with others.

Mike Jeffcoat
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I can help the client by exporing the deeper thoughts and somatic responses that are occuring and the why in social contexts that bring about anxiety. With that work, transformation can take place so that the client can begin to have more meaningful, healthy, and positive social experiences. To that purpose, I use positive psychology, integrative holistic theories and practices, meditation, and breathwork so that my clients can experience a fulfilling life and become the authentic person they've wanted to be.

Discovery Point Retreat
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LegitScript and Joint Commissions
Social anxiety can lead individuals to rely on alcohol or drugs to feel more comfortable in social situations. Over time, this pattern can develop into dependency. Our dual diagnosis treatment helps clients address the root causes of social anxiety while developing healthier confidence-building strategies that support both mental health and addiction recovery.
9 Years Experience
In-Person Near Plano, TX
Plano is one of the most affluent suburbs in Texas — home to the US headquarters of Toyota, JPMorgan Chase, and dozens of other major corporations — creating high demand for therapists who work with executive stress, high-achieving perfectionism, and the psychological costs of high-pressure corporate careers. The city has a large and rapidly growing South Asian population, particularly Indian Americans concentrated in communities around Legacy West and Collin County, creating significant demand for culturally competent therapists who understand the intersection of South Asian family expectations, professional ambition, and identity. Texas Health Plano and Medical City Plano provide institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community. Plano's suburban prosperity makes private therapy financially accessible to a broad population, though stigma barriers in some cultural communities remain a consideration.
