Social Anxiety
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Social anxiety can make even the simplest interactions feel overwhelming. Maybe you spend hours replaying conversations in your head, fearing you said the wrong thing. Perhaps you avoid certain situations altogether—speaking up in meetings, attending social events, or even making phone calls—because the discomfort feels unbearable. The fear of being judged, embarrassed, or not “good enough” can be exhausting, leaving you feeling isolated or stuck in patterns of avoidance.
But social anxiety doesn’t have to dictate your life. Together, we’ll explore the underlying fears that keep you feeling trapped, work on quieting self-criticism, and develop strategies that help you step into social situations with more ease and confidence. You don’t need to be outgoing or fearless to live fully—you just need the tools to navigate social experiences in a way that feels manageable and authentic to you. Growth is possible, and you don’t have to take this step alone.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Social anxiety can feel overwhelming, impacting relationships, confidence, and the ability to participate in areas of life you care about. Symptoms may include self-doubt, reassurance seeking and rumination, feeling embarrassed, and avoiding social situations. I utilized evidence-based therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness methods to help clients face their fears and better manage discomfort in social settings.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety is so much more than being shy. It is the dread that builds before a gathering you said yes to weeks ago. It is replaying a conversation in your head long after everyone else has moved on. It is shrinking yourself in rooms where you belong, staying quiet when you have something worth saying, or avoiding situations altogether just to escape the fear of being judged, embarrassed, or not enough.
And the exhausting part is that from the outside, nobody can even tell.
At CCW International, we understand how much energy it takes to navigate the world when social situations feel like a minefield. For many of the women we serve, social anxiety shows up quietly, hidden behind a polished exterior and a reputation for having it all together. For our veteran clients, it can look like struggling to reintegrate into civilian social spaces that feel foreign and unpredictable after years of a structured military community.
Whatever it looks like for you, we are here to help you understand where it comes from and what keeps it going. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we work with you to gently challenge the thoughts and avoidance patterns that have been running the show, and help you start showing up in your life with more ease, more confidence, and a lot less dread.
You have so much to offer the world. We want to help you feel free enough to share it.
