Bonfire Healing - Bonnie Deopp, MS, LMHC, CN
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CN, EMDR certified, Clinical Supervisor
Welcome, We're so glad you’re here! Bonfire Healing provides outpatient telehealth therapy with focus on complex mental health issues and developmental trauma along with co-occurring eating issues, addictions, chronic health conditions, nuerodiversity, and maladaptive behaviors. Our mission is to promote health equity through increasing access to evidence-based trauma treatment while utilizing insurance benefits so that this care is both high quality and affordable to more people. We honor that there is a strong correlation between trauma and the development of social anxiety. This is particularly true if we grew up with caregivers or peers who were not safe because they were explosive, criticizing, bullying, inattentive, neglectful, emotionally immature, and/or needy. We take a relational approach and we are in this together. We combine evidenced based modalities to heal these impacts on your nervous system and bring back regulation that decreases social anxiety symptoms.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to the treatment social anxiety is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs that contribute to fear and self-consciousness in social situations. Together, we use practical strategies such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, and social skills training to build confidence and reduce avoidance. This structured, supportive process helps clients develop a more balanced perspective and engage more comfortably and authentically in social interactions.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgement, self-consciousness, difficulty speaking up, or a tendency to withdraw in social situations. Social anxiety often develops as a way of managing risk in relationships and can shape how people anticipate, interpret, and respond to others.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what they may be protecting. Rather than focusing on exposure or performance, sessions centre on understanding the internal responses that arise in social situations. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz

I specialize in treating social anxiety, helping individuals overcome the fear of judgment and the avoidance patterns that often limit one’s social and professional life. My approach is rooted in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where we collaboratively work to challenge negative beliefs about yourself and others while using gradual, supported exposure to help you build real-world social confidence. Whether your anxiety centers on performance situations, meeting new people, or navigating everyday social interactions, I provide a compassionate, skills-based environment to help you learn to trust yourself, communicate assertively, and engage authentically in the life you want to lead.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating social anxiety, from discomfort in specific professional situations like public speaking or networking to more pervasive difficulty feeling at ease around others. For some clients, this includes the particular experience of neurodivergence, not being sure whether you're following the rhythm of a conversation or reading social cues the way others expect. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a structured way to understand what's driving the anxiety and build practical tools and gradual exposure to manage it. Many of my clients are professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom social anxiety is compounded by code-switching or navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
Social anxiety often entails a hyperfocus on how you'll be received rather than how you can express yourself. This form of anxiety can come from various sources so we will work to understand the specific obstacles and patterns you have around social experiences to then move forward into a more ease filled approach.

Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LMFT
I see Social Anxiety through the lens of a continuum -- Most people have experienced some form of nervousness, anxiety, or fear around the idea or situation of interacting with others, at some time in their life. Depending on the client's perception of their need for intervention, I offer a variety of approaches ranging from narrative to mindfulness to behavioral, and I'm happy to work in collaboration with clients' other wellness providers to arrive at their goals.
