New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, overwhelming, or even paralyzing. Whether it’s fear of judgment, discomfort in groups, or avoidance of social situations, these patterns often stem from past experiences, attachment wounds, or self-critical beliefs. In therapy, we provide a safe, supportive space to explore these fears, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical coping skills. With Christ-centered guidance, clients learn to build confidence, deepen connection with others, and engage in life with greater ease, courage, and emotional freedom.

Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Social Anxiety feels like a prison. It's too difficult to be your authentic self, and you feel lonely - but it's preferred over how it feels to be around other people. Informed by my own experience with social anxiety, what we will uncover is that social anxiety is a set of learned behaviors and social conditioning - which can be unlearned and unconditioned. If you're ready to stop being at war with your own nervous system - lets get to work!

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety has a way of shutting everything down. We were made for connection and when we can't engage in a conversation, a relationship, or a social gathering the way we want to we often begin to isolate completely to avoid the tough feelings that arise when we feel we can't connect. In our work together I will help you overcome your anxious thoughts, feelings, and negative beliefs. Together we will explore where the anxiety comes from, why the anxiety exists and how to transcend the anxious feelings.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Social anxiety in teens gets read as shyness, or as rudeness, or as a kid who just doesn't want to try. What's usually happening is more specific: a constant, exhausting sense of being watched and evaluated, and a running tally of everything they might have gotten wrong. Some of it happens hours after the fact, replaying a conversation from lunch.
It shows up in the small refusals more than the big ones. Not ordering their own food. Not raising a hand when they know the answer. Skipping the party, then the practice, then the group project. Stomachaches on school mornings. Texting instead of calling, and eventually not doing either. Each avoidance brings relief in the moment and makes the next one harder, and that loop is what tends to shrink a teen's world over time.
I work with teens on both halves of it. We look at what's driving the fear, including anything in their history that taught them other people are unsafe to be seen by. And we work practically, at their pace, on moving toward the things they've been avoiding rather than around them, in steps small enough to actually take.
My approach is warm and non-pressuring, which matters especially here. A teen with social anxiety is already braced for judgment, and therapy that feels like one more performance will not go anywhere. The aim is that your teen gets to have a normal social life, not a perfectly comfortable one. Nervous and going anyway is the win.
