When Social Anxiety Starts Limiting Your Life
Social anxiety is more than occasional nervousness. It can quietly shape decisions, routines, and relationships over time.
You may recognize patterns like:
Worrying about social situations days or weeks before they happen
Avoiding gatherings, meetings, or conversations, or enduring them with intense discomfort
Experiencing physical symptoms such as blushing, sweating, trembling, nausea, or a racing heart
Struggling to speak freely or feeling stuck in your head during interactions
Replaying conversations afterward and criticizing yourself harshly
Expecting the worst outcome before social obligations
Pulling back from relationships and feeling isolated as a result
Social anxiety often grows not from the situations themselves, but from the fear of how you will be perceived.
A Clear, Supportive Approach to Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is highly treatable. Therapy focuses on understanding the patterns that keep anxiety in place and building skills that make social situations feel more manageable and less threatening. Our approach is steady and practical, not overwhelming or forced.
