Social Anxiety
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
Mary W. Prentiss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
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.

Social Anxiety
Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.
