Andrea Kamins

Social anxiety is a common part of daily life for many people. When it interferes with one's capacity to maintain meaningful relationships, psychotherapy can help. I draw from relational, cognitive and mindfulness-based approaches to challenge patterns of avoidance related to social anxiety.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety has a way of existing even in the quiet moments. I work with clients to decrease ruminating thoughts, dwelling, and anxious/avoidance cycles. There are many ways we can approach your social anxiety - which may include changes in how you speak to yourself, how you engage/disengage with others, and how to work on staying connected throughout conversations. Our goal will be directly based on what is useful for you in decreasing your social anxiety.

Social Anxiety
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.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Charles R. Davenport specializes in treating social anxiety, a condition characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Davenport uses evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety can significantly impact daily life, making it difficult to interact with others, attend social gatherings, or perform in public. Dr. Davenport employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to their anxiety. He also incorporates exposure therapy, a CBT method that gradually exposes clients to feared social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Davenport integrates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. His holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Davenport provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. He also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Davenport is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.
