Evidence-Based Anxiety Treatment
Social Anxiety Therapy in Indianapolis
Social anxiety can make conversations, relationships, work, school, and everyday interactions feel stressful, overwhelming, and emotionally draining. At Sommer Psychology Group, we provide evidence-based therapy for social anxiety, helping clients reduce fear of judgment, overthinking, avoidance, and self-criticism while building greater confidence and comfort in social situations.
Social Anxiety Disorder involves intense fear or anxiety related to being judged, embarrassed, rejected, criticized, or negatively evaluated by others. Individuals with social anxiety may overthink conversations, avoid speaking up, fear making mistakes, struggle with dating or friendships, or feel highly self-conscious in social or performance situations.
Many people with social anxiety experience physical symptoms such as blushing, sweating, shaking, nausea, racing thoughts, muscle tension, or feeling frozen during interactions. Anxiety may lead to avoidance, reassurance-seeking, people-pleasing, excessive preparation, mentally replaying conversations, or staying quiet to avoid attention or embarrassment.
Over time, social anxiety can interfere with relationships, career opportunities, confidence, and the ability to fully engage in life and meaningful connections.
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and skills-based interventions designed to help clients better understand anxiety patterns, reduce avoidance and safety behaviors, challenge fear-based thinking, and build greater confidence in social situations.
Treatment focuses on helping clients gradually face feared situations, tolerate discomfort and uncertainty, and respond more flexibly to anxious thoughts without relying on avoidance or self-protective behaviors.
We offer social anxiety therapy in Indianapolis and secure online anxiety therapy across Indiana.
