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.

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.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.
