How do i overcome severe social anxiety with psychologist and without taking medicine.

Depends on severity: Some people are successful in resolving social anxiety issues through talk therapy, but "severe" sounds like the situation needs both talk therapy and medication. One's primary care doctor can help, as he knows the patient well enough to appreciate the severity. A psychiatrist helps because he can choose to use medication or talk therapy or both. Medication is better than suffering, in most cases.
