Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.

Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
This is caused by negative, usually unrealistic beliefs about ourselves & others. It is underpinned by actual childhood rejections, which now are projected out onto everyone we meet, especially onto strangers.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Social anxiety goes far deeper than shyness — it is a persistent, exhausting fear of judgment, embarrassment, or saying the wrong thing that can quietly shrink your world over time. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and high-achieving professionals navigate social anxiety disorder, performance anxiety, fear of judgment, public speaking anxiety, and the social avoidance that keeps so many capable people from fully engaging in their personal and professional lives. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure-based techniques, and psychodynamic insight, I help clients build genuine confidence and meaningful connection. Telehealth therapy for social anxiety available across 40+ states.
