Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety can make even everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to avoidance, self-doubt, and excessive overthinking. I help individuals navigate these challenges by building confidence, developing practical coping strategies, and gently shifting unhelpful thought patterns. Using a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and gradual exposure work, I support clients in breaking free from fear-based limitations and finding more ease in social situations. My approach fosters self-trust, helping individuals engage more fully in their personal and professional lives without the weight of anxiety holding them back.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address social anxiety with a compassionate and faith-centered approach, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide individuals toward overcoming their fears. Recognizing the challenges associated with social anxiety, I create a supportive environment that incorporates prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith. Drawing upon biblical teachings on courage, trust in God, and the value of community, I collaborate with individuals to explore the root causes of social anxiety and develop coping strategies. Encouraging a reliance on God's strength and an understanding of one's worth in Christ, the counselor empowers individuals to face social situations with confidence. This integrated approach seeks to address the psychological and spiritual aspects of social anxiety, fostering a sense of belonging and ease within social interactions within the context of their Christian beliefs.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification related to avoidance based fear/anxiety behaviors and habits. I have helped people effectively approach their fears and anxiety with the goal of improved functioning and quality of life.
The guidance that I'll provide you with helps build up the skills you need in your day-to-day life when making small and major decisions. I can help you achieve a better life balance. Learning when to pause and enjoy the moment, rather than stressing about what you did or didn’t do, or where you need to be or what you need to do next. People often have the tendency to let their past, patterns, or habits determine their present and future. I can help you find a way to roll with the waves of life in a more manageable way. There are unpredictable storms along the way, and I can provide the skills and tools for managing through the storms. I can help you find a new way to move forward in life rather than trying to anchor down in the storm. I can help you recognize that the tides tend to change, and you can find your way to calmer waters. I would love to help you find the right path forward for you on your journey.
I believe that nothing in life is truly just a mistake unless you learn nothing from it. Many of us learn things the best the hard way. These life lessons and experiences are where true wisdom can come from . I find that being straight forward with people in a kind, caring manner can lead to gains quicker. I don't judge people for choices made in the past, as our past helps us learn to grow and develop into what we hope to be. The potential for change is one of the greatest human abilities. When someone desires to change and decides to do it for themselves, then growth is always possible. Having a great therapist can be the missing key as to why change has been so hard in the past. Over my 15 years as a therapist, I learned that helping others be more intentional about life can be a game changer. If you are doubtful about your own change, I can be your confidence and I am always up for a challenge.
