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.

Louise Perry
Therapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
Social anxiety can make even everyday interactions feel daunting. Feeling self-conscious, fearing judgment, or struggling to find your voice can leave you feeling isolated and misunderstood. As an Art and IFS (Internal Family Systems) Psychotherapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore these fears and insecurities without pressure.
Together, we’ll use creative expression to give shape to the emotions and worries that may be hard to articulate. Through IFS, we can gently uncover the protective parts of you that seek to shield you from rejection or criticism, helping these parts feel seen, understood, and ultimately less fearful. At the same time, we’ll nurture the more confident, social parts of you that long to connect with others more freely.
My aim is to support you as you gradually build self-confidence, reduce social discomfort, and reclaim the sense of ease and authenticity you deserve. You can learn to feel more comfortable in your own skin and at peace in the presence of others—and I’m here to help guide you on that journey.

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.
