Social Anxiety
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

Social Anxiety
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social anxiety and related challenges, including fear of judgment, excessive self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, difficulty speaking in groups, performance anxiety, and discomfort in interpersonal interactions. Social anxiety can significantly impact relationships, work performance, confidence, and overall quality of life, often leading to isolation, stress, and reduced self-esteem.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social anxiety therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to fear and avoidance in social settings. Many individuals with social anxiety have experienced past criticism, embarrassment, rejection, bullying, or other distressing social experiences that continue to shape how they perceive and respond to social environments.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce anxiety responses, and build greater confidence in social situations. Therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, shifting negative beliefs about self and others, and developing healthier patterns of interaction.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, explore underlying fears, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety in real-world social settings. Treatment is personalized and supportive, helping clients gradually increase comfort, confidence, and authenticity in their interactions with others.
The goal of therapy is not to eliminate personality or force social performance, but to help clients feel more at ease being themselves, build meaningful connections, and reduce the fear and avoidance that interfere with daily life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond social anxiety, feel more grounded in social situations, and engage with others in a way that feels natural, confident, and authentic.

Social Anxiety
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.

Kody Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social situations can feel exhausting when you are constantly thinking about how you are coming across, what others might think, or whether you said or did the wrong thing. You may avoid certain situations, replay conversations afterward, or find it difficult to feel comfortable being yourself around others. Therapy can help you understand what is driving that anxiety, challenge the patterns that reinforce it, and develop more effective ways to navigate social situations. My approach is practical and collaborative, with a focus on building confidence and helping you feel more at ease in your relationships and everyday life.
