Social Anxiety
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in social anxiety, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for individuals struggling with this distressing condition. Social anxiety often leads to panic attacks, avoidance, and feelings of shame, which can result in social isolation and impact both personal and professional aspects of life. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is tailored to address the unique needs of each individual. I work to help clients overcome these challenges by providing practical tools and strategies to manage their anxiety and regain control of their lives.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We look under the hood to find the culprit behind social anxiety then customize your hypnotic programming to rewire your brain in more desirable ways, so your thinking and behaviors are aligned with your new intention. We can also use breathwork, tapping, EMT, regression, IFS, NLP, and other frameworks to get you there. Often we will regress to the root cause memory behind the social anxiety and give the inner child a chance to release emotions and words that have been depleting you of life force energy. With this, we process and reframe the underlying emotions and beliefs to the new way of being. This involves a nervous system reset, and tools you'll gain include quick practices you can do when triggered or before important social events that regulate your emotions and program in a sense of overall calmness and peace. Overall, we retun you to safety at all times and show your nervous system, limbic brain, and endocrine system that you are not in danger.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social anxiety and related challenges, including fear of judgment, excessive self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, difficulty speaking in groups, performance anxiety, and discomfort in interpersonal interactions. Social anxiety can significantly impact relationships, work performance, confidence, and overall quality of life, often leading to isolation, stress, and reduced self-esteem.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social anxiety therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to fear and avoidance in social settings. Many individuals with social anxiety have experienced past criticism, embarrassment, rejection, bullying, or other distressing social experiences that continue to shape how they perceive and respond to social environments.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce anxiety responses, and build greater confidence in social situations. Therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, shifting negative beliefs about self and others, and developing healthier patterns of interaction.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, explore underlying fears, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety in real-world social settings. Treatment is personalized and supportive, helping clients gradually increase comfort, confidence, and authenticity in their interactions with others.
The goal of therapy is not to eliminate personality or force social performance, but to help clients feel more at ease being themselves, build meaningful connections, and reduce the fear and avoidance that interfere with daily life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond social anxiety, feel more grounded in social situations, and engage with others in a way that feels natural, confident, and authentic.

Joshua Redding
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
It's not always the lonely who have social anxiety (though that can be a symptom), It can look like avoiding friends and family, using substances to cope, or binge-watching shows because the world (and the people in it) can seem boringly terrifying. Trying to understand why and how to manage your social anxiety may even be anxiety-inducing! Therapy can help reduce the effects of social anxiety and uncover desire.

David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for social anxiety, I help you identify and challenge the fear of being judged or scrutinized by others in social or performance situations. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe self-critical thoughts while teaching you practical social skills and grounding techniques to manage physical discomfort. Through gradual, supportive exposure to social settings, I work with you to build genuine self-confidence and reduce the need for avoidance or safety behaviors.

Social Anxiety
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating social anxiety, from discomfort in specific professional situations like public speaking or networking to more pervasive difficulty feeling at ease around others. For some clients, this includes the particular experience of neurodivergence, not being sure whether you're following the rhythm of a conversation or reading social cues the way others expect. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a structured way to understand what's driving the anxiety and build practical tools and gradual exposure to manage it. Many of my clients are professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom social anxiety is compounded by code-switching or navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.
