I provide assessment and treatment for social anxiety, helping individuals overcome fear of judgment, avoidance behaviors, and discomfort in social or performance situations.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in helping individuals navigate social anxiety, whether it shows up as overthinking conversations, fear of judgment, avoiding social situations, or feeling uncomfortable being seen or heard. Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting or overwhelming, even when you want to connect with others. Together, we focus on building confidence, reducing avoidance, and helping you feel more at ease in social settings. Using practical tools and mind-body techniques, I’ll help you manage anxiety in real time so you can show up more fully, communicate more comfortably, and feel less held back in your relationships and daily life.

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.

Imagine not feeling socially anxious? It can happen! We'd have to explore and understand the irrational beliefs and patterns. Any of this can be rewired and reworked.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so you don't feel rejected or stupid? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how.
