Social Anxiety
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
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.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.
