Social Anxiety
Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety is so much more than being shy. It is the dread that builds before a gathering you said yes to weeks ago. It is replaying a conversation in your head long after everyone else has moved on. It is shrinking yourself in rooms where you belong, staying quiet when you have something worth saying, or avoiding situations altogether just to escape the fear of being judged, embarrassed, or not enough.
And the exhausting part is that from the outside, nobody can even tell.
At CCW International, we understand how much energy it takes to navigate the world when social situations feel like a minefield. For many of the women we serve, social anxiety shows up quietly, hidden behind a polished exterior and a reputation for having it all together. For our veteran clients, it can look like struggling to reintegrate into civilian social spaces that feel foreign and unpredictable after years of a structured military community.
Whatever it looks like for you, we are here to help you understand where it comes from and what keeps it going. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we work with you to gently challenge the thoughts and avoidance patterns that have been running the show, and help you start showing up in your life with more ease, more confidence, and a lot less dread.
You have so much to offer the world. We want to help you feel free enough to share it.

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.

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.

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.

Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting or overwhelming. I work with clients who experience fear of judgment, embarrassment, rejection, or making mistakes around other people, as well as those who avoid social situations because of anxiety.
Therapy focuses on understanding the anxiety cycle, developing coping skills, building confidence, and gradually becoming more comfortable doing the things that matter to you. My goal is to help you feel less controlled by fear and more confident in your relationships and everyday life.

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.
