Social Anxiety
Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Social anxiety can cause intense fear or discomfort in social situations, often leading to avoidance or self-consciousness. Individuals may worry about being judged, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated by others. Treatment focuses on building confidence, reducing anxiety symptoms, and developing coping strategies that support greater comfort in social interactions.

I have a great deal of experience helping individuals who struggle with social anxiety. I provide psycho-education to help my clients understand what is happening in their brain when anxious as well as learn tools and strategies to decrease the anxiety they feel in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so you don't feel rejected or stupid? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how.

Social Anxiety
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.

Social anxiety is rooted in a fear of rejection and/or judgment by others. I work with clients to help identify the source of this fear while highlighting strengths and positive attributes that clients possess, which helps to empower clients to seek and develop meaningful relationships.
