Social Anxiety
Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, overwhelming, or emotionally exhausting. Whether you're worried about being judged, speaking up in groups, meeting new people, or feeling more confident in social or professional settings, therapy can help.
Drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, we'll work together to understand the patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to social anxiety. By gradually challenging unhelpful beliefs and developing practical coping strategies, you can build confidence, feel more at ease in social situations, and engage more fully in the relationships and experiences that matter most to you.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety may stem from feelings of vulnerability, like you don't belong, past experiences of rejection, fears of judgment, and/or a sensitive nervous system's that needs lower stimulation and greater predictability than social interactions entail. Socializing or the thought of meeting people can come with feelings of fear, embarrassment, self-consciousness, and self-doubt. It's easier to avoid interacting with others, but the temporary comfort this brings leads to greater discomfort in the long run. You feel like your social anxiety is hindering your relationships and keeping you from experiencing life as fully as you'd like.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them, while honoring who you are.
