Maia Leslie
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CCTP-II, NATC
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.

DL, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCTP
Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence based practices, clients are able to find relief through changing thought patterns and creating new associations.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt your heart race—wondering what people are thinking about you, or wishing you could disappear before anyone notices? Social anxiety can make even simple moments—talking in class, attending church, meeting new people—feel like survival. Over time, the worry turns into withdrawal, and loneliness begins to take root.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand how exhausting it is to overthink every word and every glance. Our Christian counselors help you quiet the noise of self-criticism, retrain your body’s stress response, and build confidence that lasts beyond the next conversation.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use faith-integrated, evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic grounding, and exposure techniques—combined with biblical truth and compassionate guidance to help you:
• Calm the physical symptoms of anxiety in social settings
• Overcome fear of judgment and rejection
• Strengthen communication and self-expression
• Build authentic connections and trust
• Restore peace through a renewed sense of identity in Christ
You don’t have to live trapped inside your own thoughts. With practical tools, gentle exposure, and spiritual grounding, you can learn to walk into any room with calm confidence—rooted not in others’ approval, but in God’s love for you.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living freely, Rising Calm Center is here to help you find your voice and your peace again.

Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is not just about being shy. It often develops after experiences where being seen, judged, or rejected felt unsafe. Over time, avoiding people can start to feel like the safest option. The problem is it also keeps you stuck. In therapy, we work to understand where that fear came from and help you re-engage socially without feeling like you’re constantly under pressure.

Aguib Diop
Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
While most of us place some value on our personal and professional reputations, what happens when we're in constant fear of these reputations being tarnished or attacked? For those with social anxiety disorders, the result is the avoidance of people, experiences and opportunities that could result in life’s enjoyment. If you have a social anxiety disorder, our shared goal will be to gradually confront these avoided situations. After experiencing each situation, your original thoughts will be reframed to match this experience rather than the feared worst-case scenario. You’ll also apply coping strategies that help you feel at ease while confronting situations. You may even learn to laugh at yourself, which is almost always a win.
