Social Anxiety Therapy in Denver, CO
Find ease in transition.
It might be the intense physical panic that hits before a work meeting, the way you blank on words at a party, or the sheer exhaustion that comes from constantly rehearsing conversations in your head. For you, social interaction isn't exciting; it's a high-stakes performance where failure feels inevitable.
This is the reality of social anxiety, and it often feels like a secret you have to carry alone in a high-energy city like Denver.
I’m Allie Evans, LMFT, specializing in helping adults and young professionals find genuine ease and confidence in social settings. My approach moves past surface-level coping skills to heal the core wounds that fuel your fear of judgment.
The Root Cause: Why Your Body Takes Over
Social anxiety is not a failure of willpower; it’s a nervous system response. Your brain interprets connection as a threat, triggering physical symptoms like a racing heart, blushing, freezing, or mind-blanks. Traditional therapy often misses this crucial step.
My work focuses on healing this root fear using an integrated, mind-body approach:
Somatic Therapy & Polyvagal Theory: We work directly with your nervous system to reduce your physical reactivity. You’ll learn to quickly recognize and soothe the panic response, allowing you to stay present and grounded even when feeling exposed.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): We address the inner critic and the parts of you that fear rejection. By bringing compassion and understanding to these protective parts, we reduce their need to control or avoid social situations, allowing your innate Self-confidence to emerge.
Attachment-Informed Care: We explore how past relational experiences shaped your belief that connection equals danger. By healing old attachment wounds, we can shift your expectation from rejection to safety in relationships.
