Dr. Michael M. Grant

Anxiety is the fear of future pain. Social anxiety is the fear that others will judge us and that their judgments will result in rejection and that such will be painful. Let's work together to challenge and undo that painful process so you can be freer with others and connect more with them.

Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with social anxiety. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. This can include fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to social anxiety. She also integrates exposure therapy, a CBT method that gradually exposes clients to feared social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Downs incorporates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. Her holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Downs provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. She also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Downs is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.

Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.
