Social Anxiety
Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In therapy, you will learn to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs about social situations. Utilizing the cognitive-behavioral techniques I will help you develop coping strategies for managing anxiety symptoms, such as relaxation techniques and gradual exposure to feared social situations. Additionally, therapy may focus on improving social skills and communication, building self-confidence, and addressing underlying issues such as low self-esteem or past traumas that contribute to social anxiety.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their social anxiety. I help them subsequently identify what is in their control as they anticipate being in those settings in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their fears associated with their anxiety in those settings.

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
This is a persistent, high level of fear for a social or performance event. Often individuals are around unfamiliar people and perceive themselves as being criticized by others. The individual fears that they will embarrass or humiliate themselves. This could occur at a party, a presentation at work, talking on the phone, making a speech, participating in a workshop, meeting the parents of your child’s friends, or even attending church. A very common version of this, particularly for children, is school phobia. Often school phobia is complicated by bullying, fears of the parents’ safety, or learning deficits.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. oo often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

I offer a haven for those who find themselves shadowed by social anxiety.

With empathy and gentle guidance, I work alongside my clients to unravel the complex emotions and thoughts that fuel their anxiety. Our journey together focuses on building confidence, developing coping strategies, and gently stretching the boundaries of comfort zones.

Social anxiety has a way of existing even in the quiet moments. I work with clients to decrease ruminating thoughts, dwelling, and anxious/avoidance cycles. There are many ways we can approach your social anxiety - which may include changes in how you speak to yourself, how you engage/disengage with others, and how to work on staying connected throughout conversations. Our goal will be directly based on what is useful for you in decreasing your social anxiety.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.
