Social Anxiety Group for Teens, Huntington, NY
You’re starting to worry… and not just a little
​
Your daughter has always been the “shy one,” and for a while, you all ran with that. But lately? she’s shrinking away from life. School events? Nope. Raising her hand? Never. Ordering her own food? Are you kidding me?
You’ve tried to help. You’ve explained, coached, encouraged and let’s be honest, sometimes nagged. But every conversation ends in a frustrated sigh, a slammed door, or an eye roll.
​
She holds it together all day at school, and then comes home and completely falls apart. You’re exhausted. You’re worried. And you’re thinking things like:
​
-
How is she going to survive in college?
-
Will she ever make close friends?
-
If she can’t even order at Chipotle… how will she do LIFE?!
​
You're at a total roadblock and finally, you’ve admitted it: “We both need help!”
Now imagine this...
You meet me, a therapist who gets it. Not just the “let’s talk about your feelings” kind of therapy (though hey… that matters too).
I offer something more: a structured, interactive, skill-building group for girls who are quietly struggling with social anxiety.
Yes, we’ll talk, but your daughter will also do things that scare her.
Because here’s the truth: she doesn’t just need “coping strategies” or affirmations taped to her mirror.
She needs to understand what’s going on in that bright, brilliant brain of hers and how anxiety has been tricking her into staying small.
Sure, avoidance might feel safe, but it’s actually keeping her stuck.
And spoiler alert: Avoidance doesn’t work. It never will!
What does work? Learning to face fears, step by step, with support, safety, and strategy.

This is what I’ve seen girls in these groups do:
-
Order their own meals (without whispering it to Mom first)
-
Speak up in class, and get the answer wrong and still survive
-
Join clubs… and even start their own
-
Make lasting friendships
-
Say yes to opportunities instead of freezing in fear
​
And while she’s thriving, you finally exhale.
Because you’re no longer trying to fix it all on your own. Not only that, I provide you with tons of information on how YOU can help when she's spiraling!
So, how do we get there? Here's what your daughter will experience:
-
She meets girls who totally get it- and finally feels like she’s not the only one.
-
Clarity: She learns what social anxiety really is and how it’s been holding her back.
-
Mind-Body Skills: She tunes into her body’s signals and learns how to calm the storm.
-
Practical Tools: She practices skills in a group where everyone’s learning together.
-
Confidence: She builds courage and starts doing the things that once felt impossible.
-
Momentum: She sets goals and then crushes them. One brave step at a time.
-
Community: She celebrates her growth with others who’ve cheered her on all the way.
​
This group isn’t about “fixing” your daughter.
It’s about helping her remember who she is; strong, smart, and full of potential. She just needs the tools, the support, and the space to come back to herself. She’s not alone. And neither are you!
Let’s help her step out of her shell…one courageous moment at a time. Ready to take the first step?
