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.

Sarah Rossmiller
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC, LPC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel like a performance you're bound to fail. I help you understand the fear underneath it and build genuine confidence, not just coping tricks for getting through a room.

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.

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.
