Social Anxiety
Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Social Anxiety
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating social anxiety, from discomfort in specific professional situations like public speaking or networking to more pervasive difficulty feeling at ease around others. For some clients, this includes the particular experience of neurodivergence, not being sure whether you're following the rhythm of a conversation or reading social cues the way others expect. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a structured way to understand what's driving the anxiety and build practical tools and gradual exposure to manage it. Many of my clients are professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom social anxiety is compounded by code-switching or navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Cindy Haines, Psy.D

Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to intense fear of judgment or embarrassment in social situations. At Stress & Anxiety Services, we specialize in helping individuals with social anxiety overcome these challenges and build confidence in their social interactions. Our approach includes: - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and challenging the negative thought patterns that fuel social anxiety, and replacing them with healthier, more balanced thinking. - Exposure Therapy: Gradual, controlled exposure to social situations to reduce avoidance and build comfort over time. - Social Skills Training: Developing effective communication and social strategies to increase confidence in various social settings. - Mindfulness Techniques: Learning to stay present and manage anxious feelings in the moment. Through secure telehealth services, we provide personalized treatment to help you overcome social anxiety and live with more confidence and ease. With the right tools and support, you can regain control and enjoy meaningful social connections.

Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have extensive experience working with adults who experience social anxiety, whether it is a primary concern or part of a broader pattern of anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt. I help clients address fear of judgment, rejection, or embarrassment, as well as overthinking social interactions and replaying them afterward, while building greater confidence and freedom to engage with others without constant self-monitoring.

Social anxiety responds very well to behavioral-based interventions. Social anxiety is more common than anyone will admit! I have worked with several clients with this concern, and we will develop a plan for lasting, meaningful change.

Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Underlying social anxiety disorder is the fear of being scrutinized, judged, or embarrassed in public. I work with clients to address their fears and to reduce symptoms of ocial anxiety disorder. In therapy, you learn how to recognize and change negative thoughts about yourself and develop skills to help you gain confidence in social situations.

Social Anxiety
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel draining or high-stakes, leading to overthinking, self-monitoring, or avoidance. Many women find themselves wanting connection while also fearing judgment or getting it “wrong.” In our work together, we focus on understanding how these fears developed, reducing the internal pressure that fuels them, and building a more confident and flexible way of engaging with others.
