Rediscover Your Voice in Every Room

At Cultivate Therapy, we understand how social anxiety can make you feel like every conversation is a test and every gathering a minefield. Our therapists meet you with genuine empathy, compassion, and non-judgmental curiosity, creating a confidential space where you can safely explore what’s fueling that tightness in your chest and that voice saying, “What if they judge me?”

Meet with us in person or via telehealth for online therapy.

Our sessions offer a private, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and social habits. We’ll equip you with a toolkit of resources—from insightful readings and in-session role-plays to personalized homework—that supports your growth between appointments. Our mission is to guide you through social hurdles, illuminate your inner strengths, and empower you to step into relationships and gatherings with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Helping you quiet the inner critic and feel safe being yourself

Together, we’ll map the landscape of your social anxiety—uncovering the negative self-beliefs and formative memories that keep you stuck. From there, we tailor an integrative treatment plan just for you, drawing on evidence-based approaches and cutting-edge modalities:

Internal Family Systems, Emotion-Focused & Coherence Therapy
We gently unearth the parts of you that feel vulnerable, afraid, or self-critical, so you can compassionately witness—and transform—the stories you tell yourself.
EMDR & Clinical Hypnosis
When past experiences cast a shadow over your present, these techniques help reconsolidate memories and free up the energy you need to engage fully in social situations.
CBT, DBT & Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
– CBT: Challenge anxious thoughts, practice exposure in small, manageable steps, and build confidence ladder-style—from imaginal to in-person interactions.
– DBT: Learn mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills to stay grounded when your heart races.
– SFT: Use the miracle question to envision your most social-anxiety-free day, then set realistic, strength-based goals to get there.
Attachment-Based Interventions & Breathwork
Cultivating a steadier sense of self and security, so you can connect authentically and feel at home in your own skin.
