Social Anxiety
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help high achievers and perfectionists manage social anxiety by addressing the root causes of their fear and discomfort in social situations. Together, we work to challenge the critical self-judgments and unrealistic standards that often fuel their anxiety. I provide strategies to build confidence and ease anxiety in social settings, helping them feel more comfortable and authentic in interactions. By exploring underlying beliefs about performance and rejection, I guide clients toward greater self-compassion and acceptance. My goal is to help them develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships while reducing the emotional toll of social pressure.

I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.
