Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, yet alone trying to make sense of the world around them.
I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

Charis Khoury

Often a strong inner critic and judging mind contribute to social anxiety- creating a different relationship with this critic will free you up to enjoy yourself and others much more.

Marianne Albina
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT # 139542
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore the stories that the world has forced them to tell themselves about social interactions and their fears. Through reflective questioning, I guide clients in re-framing their narratives, identifying strengths, gifts, and alternative perspectives and I assist them in externalizing social anxiety to help them confront it and overcome its hold.

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
There are many root causes of social anxiety. While some people are naturally introverted, anxiety is an unnecessary extension of that. Social anxiety can also become entrained through conscious or unconscious habits of thought and expectation based on past experiences. No matter what your personality type or prior traumas you don't have to suffer with anxiety in any social situation, whether at a party, giving a presentation at work, or interacting with a clerk at the store. Using hypnosis I will help you resolve any negative feels around previously triggering situations and help you discover inner strength and confidence that will allow you to function well in any social situation.

Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we approach social anxiety with the understanding that it often arises from deeply rooted fears of judgment, rejection, or inadequacy. Our method focuses on uncovering the most fundamental layer of this, or the "core fear", and identifying the “chief defense” individuals develop to protect themselves, such as avoidance, excessive people-pleasing, or self-criticism. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ model, we guide clients to do the opposite of these defenses, allowing them to gradually face their fears in a safe, supportive way. This approach helps clients build confidence, enhance their communication skills, and experience greater ease in social settings. As they gain a stronger sense of self, individuals find their relationships and social connections improve, fostering a more fulfilling and connected life.
