Social Anxiety
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Social anxiety is more than just being afraid to speak in public, for many people social anxiety is fear of being judged by other people in any social setting to the extent that they usually decline any social events. Treating social anxiety involves trying to find the source for the anxiety and the negative beliefs that have become part of the client's self beliefs so that we can desensitize, reframe, reprocess, and replace these negative beliefs with improved self-confidence. We will also use visualization exercises in which the client will imagine a social setting and being comfortable with who they are in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help high achievers and perfectionists manage social anxiety by addressing the root causes of their fear and discomfort in social situations. Together, we work to challenge the critical self-judgments and unrealistic standards that often fuel their anxiety. I provide strategies to build confidence and ease anxiety in social settings, helping them feel more comfortable and authentic in interactions. By exploring underlying beliefs about performance and rejection, I guide clients toward greater self-compassion and acceptance. My goal is to help them develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships while reducing the emotional toll of social pressure.

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with Social Anxiety and related issues. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently. There is a reason that one feels anxiety in social settings, and we will explore this to root out the past trauma or negative experiences. Then we will work to resolve this so you can learn to just be yourself in social settings and better manage your social interactions and relationships. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions that you are comfortable with.
