Does the thought of social interactions fill you with dread? Is social anxiety preventing you from enjoying life to the fullest? Social anxiety can be isolating and limiting, but it doesn't have to control your life. Imagine a life where social interactions become opportunities for growth and enjoyment, not sources of fear and discomfort. I will help you build essential social skills, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop a sense of ease and confidence in interpersonal interactions. Together, we will work towards fostering genuine connections and creating a life enriched by meaningful social experiences.

Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Social Anxiety has the potential to hold us back from forming the relationships we want or achieving the goals we have made. Social Anxiety can feel crippling and defeating. My approach to handling social anxiety is to affirm the challenge it causes, instill hope for the future, and provide tools to help.

Social Anxiety
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Social anxiety can feel like a constant self-monitoring in relationships; worrying about how you are perceived, replaying conversations, or feeling tense, awkward, or “on display” in social settings. Even when outwardly functioning well, internally there may be a strong sense of pressure, fear of judgment, or exhaustion from managing impressions.
In therapy, we work to understand the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns underneath social anxiety, including past experiences of relational safety, belonging, and rejection. From a psychodynamic perspective, social anxiety is often connected to early attachment experiences and internalized beliefs about acceptance and worth.
Using a trauma-informed and Focusing-Oriented approach, we pay attention to what happens in the body in moments of social activation — the tightening, freeze responses, or self-consciousness — and learn how to stay present with those sensations rather than becoming overwhelmed by them.
Over time, this work supports greater ease in relationships, increased self-trust, and a more grounded sense of presence with others, rather than constant self-evaluation.

Elza Boycheva
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC
Do you feel anxious around others, worry what they might think, fear that they would judge you, or worry that you won't fit in? You may feel self-conscious, constantly second-guess yourself, feel embarrassed about speaking, or find yourself dwelling on what you said and what others thought. For some people, it's hard to even make eye contact or say hello. You may avoid social situations or find yourself feeling extremely anxious the entire time you're around others. Social anxiety can take a real toll on you and on your life. You may be worried about the impact it's having on your friendships, coworker interactions, workplace situations, or dating.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Do you secretly hope your friends will cancel the plans you have made with them or spend time trying to figure out how to get out of social events because the thought of interacting with people or even walking into the even terrifies you? Social anxiety can be extremely crippling, and those of us who deal with it often struggle from loneliness and isolation even though those same social situations we crave so desperately also overwhelm us tremendously. In therapy you can learn new strategies to manage your anxiety, learn ways of creating friends AND showing up to enjoy them, and ways to create a community of people that “get” you and have space for you however you choose to show up. We can also help you learn to love ALL of the facets of your life- including the moments where you get to show up to spend time with others and the times you are alone. I find that online therapy is particularly good for social anxiety because we can work together in any place you feel safe and comfortable in and work together to help you stretch and strengthen your ability to interact socially.

Everett is a Snohomish County city home to Boeing's enormous widebody aircraft manufacturing complex—the largest building by volume in the world—as well as Naval Station Everett, and its mental health landscape reflects both the occupational stresses of high-skill aerospace manufacturing and the military family dynamics of a naval installation community. The city has experienced significant social challenges including elevated rates of opioid and methamphetamine use, and behavioral health organizations including Compass Health have invested significantly in community mental health resources. Everett is also an increasingly affordable alternative to the central Seattle market, drawing families and workers, but also navigating homelessness and housing insecurity at meaningful levels. Common therapy concerns include aerospace and manufacturing workforce stress, military family dynamics, substance use and recovery, economic anxiety, and the challenges of a working-class industrial city carrying significant social service demand.
