Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients manage their social anxiety. People can be unpredictable and rejecting. For someone that is different, who struggles to pick up on subtle social cues, or who has social communication differences, interacting with others can be tiring and painful. Yet, so many of us are social creatures and get lonely. I enjoy helping clients build a supportive community, find their tribe, and feel more confident interacting with others.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Social anxiety is a very common condition that can result in avoidance and/or avoidance and also a lot of discomfort when being or even thinking of being in a social situation including 1 on 1, small and large group situations. Most individuals feel they don't know what to say or how to act and will be shunned, avoided or rejected. I provide social skills training to improve confidence, relaxation skills to reduce anxiety and strategies to change negative thinking patterns with healthy and adaptive ones. Whether it's becoming more comfortable and effective in asking someone on a date, socializing at a party or giving a speech at work, I can help.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety can be painful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. I understand why this is one of people's top fears. Talking in therapy about the worries you have and learning new ways to practice social skills as well as learning more accurate self talk and self appraisal can increase confidence and improve your social life.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.

Fort Wayne is Indiana's second-largest city and a hub for defense manufacturing, healthcare, and distribution logistics — an occupational mix that shapes a therapy culture in which shift work stress, workplace injury adjustment, and career identity are common themes. The city has a significant Burmese refugee community — one of the largest in the United States — creating important demand for therapists with cultural competence around refugee trauma, resettlement stress, and the challenges of navigating American systems. Parkview Health and Lutheran Health Network provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Fort Wayne's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated approaches are a prominent feature of the local therapy offering.
