Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social Anxiety is one of the toughest things to struggle with because it hits us right where things matter most- our connections with others. It can feel like an oppressive force that won't allow you to be who you are or to experience the connections with others that you would like. However, oftentimes it comes from a place of hurt and trauma, or even just the negative things we learned to tell ourselves based on growing up in a society where we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. But, we can learn to get in touch with the wounded and hurt parts or ourselves, the self critical and judgmental parts, and help them to feel more safe and at ease. Social Anxiety does not have to rule your life! There are some many different tools and skills. You can learn to work with it instead of against yourself.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I hope you can take a moment to celebrate your success in reaching out to start a new relationship. In working with social anxiety, we'll consider the exceptions in your life—the times when you have connected with strangers, when you’ve entered into a new social environment, when you’ve stayed longer at a social event. We’ll bring curiosity to what made those experiences exceptional for you. We’ll then bring those differences, as well as, newly learned skills into corrective experiences in the therapy room and the least risky environments for you outside of therapy. We will likely use EMDR and somatic therapy approaches to work through the engrained difficult messages and bodily experiences of social anxiety from your past to increase your confidence in your capacity for present and future social connections.

Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Social connection, intimacy, crowds and large groups impact some of us more intensely, and for different reasons. You might be highly sensitive and overwhelmed by external stimuli, feel insecure and self-conscious, or have trauma related to past interactions. Maybe a little of all of that. Let's talk so I can learn more about what's going on and together we can take a slow, gentle approach to your healing.

Brock Hypnosis
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht., NLP, I.E.M.T., B.T.P, Adv-EFT., CBT Specialist
Is your situation one that keeps you from social gatherings? Even if you desire to attend yet, you just can't seem to get passed actually "GOING" - or just being in public, creating conversation with people known or unknown. And after over a year of many people being in isolation - this can be a difficult situation to over come. It is not impossible. It is VERY possible for you to achieve this self directed - goal ....
Some conditions may warrant a medical or menthal health awareness referral.
