Social Anxiety
Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Persistent and intense fears of being watched, judged, or evaluated negatively by others in social or performance situations are very different than feeling shy or nervous. The fears are often out of proportion to the actual threat the situation poses. Common triggers may include: meeting new people; starting conversations; dating; eating or drinking in front of others; being the center of attention. Many individuals either avoid such situations, or endure them with significant distress. Together, we can explore how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations reinforce each other when anxiety levels spike. Our goal will be to identify and challenge distorted beliefs, and then replace them with more accurate thoughts. In addition, reducing subtle avoidance tactics will help you come to realize that you can in fact handle these situations successfully.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make conversations and everyday interactions feel tense and exhausting. We will look at what you fear will happen and the habits that keep anxiety reinforced, like avoidance or overthinking. I help clients develop skills for managing anxiety in the moment and gradually feel more comfortable in social settings so connection becomes easier and less draining.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients manage social anxiety, performance anxiety, fear of judgment, and discomfort in professional or personal interactions. Many clients overthink what they said, worry about being misunderstood, or feel pressure to appear confident even when they feel anxious inside. In therapy, we work on reducing avoidance, challenging self-critical thoughts, building confidence, and developing more authentic ways of relating to others. My goal is to help clients feel more comfortable, present, and confident in social situations.

Social Anxiety
Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to the treatment social anxiety is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs that contribute to fear and self-consciousness in social situations. Together, we use practical strategies such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, and social skills training to build confidence and reduce avoidance. This structured, supportive process helps clients develop a more balanced perspective and engage more comfortably and authentically in social interactions.

Social Anxiety
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in social anxiety, my approach to treatment is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and social skills training, I work collaboratively with individuals to address underlying fears and negative thought patterns related to social situations. By gradually exposing clients to feared social scenarios in a supportive environment, we work together to challenge avoidance behaviors and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety symptoms. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome social anxiety, build confidence in social interactions, and cultivate meaningful connections with others.
