Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
I’m dubious about the term “social anxiety.” I don’t doubt for a second how paralyzing or distressing it is to be anxious in social situations, but diagnosing someone with social anxiety sometimes feels like an excuse for a quick fix: “Here’s a prescription!” That’s not my approach (although I get it if that’s where you are now).
Whether you’ve been diagnosed or not doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that you want to be more confident and comfortable around people. Because I can help you with that.
The tools I use – energy psychology, hypnosis and NLP (neurolinguistic programming), nutritional guidance, and voice dialogue (or “parts work”) – all have a part. As can figuring out if “social anxiety” is part of a bigger problem, such as chronic anxiety or perfectionism or a general distrust of people, or a seemingly unrelated bad experience that subconsciously affects you in social situations.
Human beings are social animals. Social connection is so important that a lack of it is a reliable predictor of early death. And technology now gives us so many ways to “connect” that it’s easy to stop connecting in meaningful ways.
If you’re tired of not being able to be yourself (or the person you want to be) in social situations, there’s a good chance I can help. Please get in touch.

Social Anxiety
Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Social Anxiety
Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their social anxiety. I help them subsequently identify what is in their control as they anticipate being in those settings in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their fears associated with their anxiety in those settings.

Social Anxiety
Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
Fears of what others think of you? Fears of walking in front of people, talking in front of people, or feeling like everyone is staring at you (even if on a logical level you know they are not)? Social anxiety is so real. And it can feel overwhelming. Not to mention, it can hold a person back in life from doing the things that bring you joy, or doing the things you know you need to do. I help women learn how to overcome the anxious thoughts that accompany social anxiety by offering a down to earth, realistic approach. We will examine and define the specific fears that may be happening for you, set realistic goals, and process through where these fears may be coming from--so you feel confident in getting your life back. Learn to tame the ever flowing thoughts and worries, find your inner peace, and gain mastery over combatting social anxiety with a provider who is invested in your wellness and sensitively helping you feel more capable and confident.

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
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in social anxiety, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for individuals struggling with this distressing condition. Social anxiety often leads to panic attacks, avoidance, and feelings of shame, which can result in social isolation and impact both personal and professional aspects of life. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is tailored to address the unique needs of each individual. I work to help clients overcome these challenges by providing practical tools and strategies to manage their anxiety and regain control of their lives.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Sven Schild
Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with social anxiety involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their social fears and anxieties without judgment, and commit to actions that reflect their values and goals. EMDR is used to process and resolve past traumatic experiences or negative social encounters that contribute to their anxiety, reducing the emotional intensity of these memories. SE addresses the physiological responses to social anxiety, helping clients release stored tension and regain a sense of calm and balance in social situations. This comprehensive approach supports clients in overcoming social anxiety, building confidence, and improving their overall quality of life.
