I strongly recommend attending all 6 sessions to get the full benefit. This group is designed to be efficient and effective, and missing a session may mean missing key skills or practice time. If you anticipate missing more than one session, it would be best to wait for a future round of the group. For single absences, we may be able to schedule an individual make up session.

You’ll never be forced to speak or share more than you’re comfortable with. We use gradual, supportive exercises so you can build confidence step by step. That said, this is an active group—not a lecture—so we encourage participation to help you get the most out of it.

Nope. This group is skills-focused. You’re welcome to share insights and experiences as you feel comfortable, but our main goal is to help you practice tools you can use right away in your daily life.

I plan to keep the group small with 3-4 participants. From experience, this size is ideal for working on social anxiety. It creates a more comfortable, low-pressure environment while still giving you the opportunity to practice and build confidence. It also allows me to tailor the group more closely to each person.

The group meets twice a week for 3 weeks (6 sessions total), and each session is 60 minutes. You’ll also be encouraged to complete brief “social experiments” between sessions—like trying a conversation starter or speaking up in a small group—to help you apply what you’re learning outside of group.

The group is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles and strategies. CBT is the most researched and effective treatment for social anxiety. CBT focuses on interrupting the factors maintaining social anxiety, such as anxious thoughts, avoidance and safety behaviors, to reduce anxiety and improve functioning.

Many of our group members have worked with therapists or learned about cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). But understanding the concepts is different from putting them into action—especially in social situations with peers. This group gives you the chance to practice what you’ve learned in a supportive setting, alongside peers who get it. You’ll build confidence not just by thinking differently, but by doing things differently—with guidance, feedback, and structure from two experienced psychologists.

We accept HSA, FSA, or credit/debit card for payment. We are considered an out-of-network treatment provider. If you would like to use your insurance benefits, please call your health insurance plan and ask how much they reimburse for out-of-network mental health treatment for social anxiety. You will need to pay upfront, but they may be able to reimburse you 30-70% after your deductible is met.

If we have availability, we’re happy to work with you individually, either alongside the group or as a standalone option. Your information will remain confidential, and joining the group is never required.

Some participants find it helpful to receive individual support before, during, or after the group to deepen their progress. We also have trusted referral partners we can connect you with.
