I am feeling extremely frustrated, because I have nearly searched all over the city I live in. And there isn't one counselor who treats anxiety disorders like social anxiety Years ago, I went to an Anxiety Clinic, but that wasn't helpful. And if I decide to go back would need a doctor's referral and my doctor left her practice 2 years ago.

You will need to make a dr appt with a new Dr so you can get a referral. Until you can get in somewhere you will need to Google coping methods for anxiety there's plenty to pick from and use. If you would like I can share some of the things I do to help anxiety and stress.

You can help yourself, as social anxiety is caused by your thoughts and not by other people or what they say or do. Only you can change/delete the thoughts in your mind.
There is a video that explains what social anxiety fundamentally is and how you can stop feeling this way.
If you are really ready to stop suffering in this way, search youtube for How To Completely Lose Social Anxiety - Noah Elkrief.
I can hep you with any questions, etc., afterwards.
