Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
If being watched, judged, or evaluated makes your mind race and your body tense, you know what social anxiety costs; friendships not made, chances not taken, moments you dreaded instead of enjoyed. I help you understand the fear underneath it, settle your nervous system in the moment, and gradually build the confidence to be seen. You don't have to become someone else; you just have to stop bracing against yourself.

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. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for anxiety disorders, including social anxiety. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue letting anxiety rule their choices, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. Social anxiety is isolating and painful. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for social anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary anxiety and OCD, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. You don't have to keep suffering this way.
