Virtual “Stepping Stone” Group


Why “Stepping Stone”?

Because healing doesn’t have to be all at once. We know that facing social fears takes courage, and it helps to have a clear, supported path.

Stepping Stone is just that… a gentle, structured progression from virtual to in-person support.

  • You’ll begin in a virtual group setting, where you can build trust, learn coping strategies, and begin practicing new skills from the comfort of home.

  • When you feel ready, you’ll have the option to transition into our in-person social anxiety group—taking what you’ve learned and applying it in a more real-world setting, surrounded by others on the same journey.

This approach allows you to move forward at your own pace, with a consistent therapeutic team and a supportive community walking beside you.

The format is the same as the in-person group.


What You’ll Gain

  • Tools to manage anxiety in social situations

  • The opportunity to grow confidence gradually—from behind the screen to face-to-face
