Dr. Keri Downs specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with social anxiety. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. This can include fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others.

In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Downs incorporates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. Her holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Downs provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. She 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. Downs is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.
