Social Anxiety
Dr. Elizabeth Richards

Do you often feel paralyzed by worry about judgment, criticism, or rejection, which interferes with your work, relationships, and daily life? In our work together, we’ll explore the patterns and beliefs underlying your social anxiety, while learning tools and strategies to increase confidence, manage anxious thoughts, and improve engagement in social and professional situations. By combining insight-oriented work with practical approaches, we’ll create opportunities for growth, self-understanding, and mastery.

Social Anxiety
Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for anxiety disorders, including social anxiety. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue letting anxiety rule their choices, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. Social anxiety is isolating and painful. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for social anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary anxiety and OCD, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. You don't have to keep suffering this way.

Social Anxiety
David Schaffer, MSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Lisa Wilke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Do you feel anxious meeting new people, speaking in front of a group, or walking into a crowded room? Do you avoid activities that involve large groups of people? Social anxiety is more than simply being shy or introverted. It can involve a strong fear of being judged, embarrassed, rejected, or negatively evaluated by others. Sometimes, even everyday interactions such as making a phone call, asking a question, or starting a conversation can trigger anxiety. If you are experiencing significant social anxiety, support is available. Schedule an initial consultation through my website to get started.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, exhausting, or even impossible. I work with adults who feel anxious in social situations, worry about being judged, or avoid activities they used to enjoy. Using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness-informed strategies, I help clients build confidence, reduce avoidance, and engage more fully in their lives. If social anxiety is keeping you from feeling connected or comfortable, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.
