Kalin Palmer, Healing Connections Therapy LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LMHC, LPC
Social anxiety can make it especially difficult to seek counseling, and I always try to meet clients where they’re at. Many of my clients experience relief after exploring root fears and core values in combination with gradual exposure in bite-sized chunks that feel more manageable than the social experiences that feel overwhelming.
