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.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Social Anxiety can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure. This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for social anxiety available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create social and emotional distress while simultaneously resist acting on urges to avoiding such interactions. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming urges to avoid them. People with social anxiety are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a haven for those who find themselves shadowed by social anxiety. I understand the quiet turmoil of feeling perpetually on the outside, the racing heart in social situations, and the persistent fear of judgment. 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. It's about transforming the fear of connection into a celebration of your unique self in the social tapestry, enabling you to step into the world with a newfound sense of belonging and ease.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
At the heart of social anxiety is self esteem and uncertainty with your true self and letting that part of you interact with others without fear of not being good enough or not fitting in.
Social anxiety these days also has new meaning with the pandemic - comfort level, safety, and returning to social gatherings after an almost year of living without them.

Valiant Minds Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, CCATP
Social anxiety can present itself in many ways. Some individuals may avoid social situations because of fear of embarrassment, others may seek out social situations and become overly excitable and intrusive, or some may lack the developmental skills to know how to appropriately communicate to others. At Valiant Minds Counseling, I like to explore and understand each individual's experience with social anxiety and provide them with a treatment plan specific to their needs. In addition to social anxiety, I have extensive experience in treating children with selective mutism.
