Social Anxiety
New Path Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
We help individuals overcome the fear and discomfort that can arise in social situations, whether it's speaking in public, meeting new people, or participating in group settings. Social anxiety often stems from a fear of judgment or rejection, but our approach is designed to help clients challenge these fears and build greater confidence in their social interactions. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness, we work with clients to identify and reframe negative thought patterns, gradually reduce avoidance behaviors, and develop effective coping strategies. Our goal is to empower individuals to feel more comfortable in social situations, build stronger connections with others, and ultimately embrace life with less fear and greater self-assurance.

Social Anxiety
Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety is more than shyness or being introverted. It is a persistent fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen in a negative light that makes ordinary social situations feel genuinely threatening. For many men, it shows up as dreading conversations, avoiding situations where attention might land on them, replaying interactions afterward looking for what went wrong, or holding back in professional and personal settings in ways that quietly limit their lives.
The frustrating part is that social anxiety often coexists with real capability. Many of the men I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and accomplished in other areas. The anxiety is not about lacking social skills. It is about a deeply ingrained pattern of threat perception that fires in situations where it does not need to, and a set of avoidance behaviors that provide short term relief while making the anxiety stronger over time.
In our work together, we get specific about where social anxiety is showing up, what is driving it, and what it is costing you. We work on the thought patterns that fuel it, build practical skills for navigating the situations you have been avoiding, and develop a more grounded and realistic way of relating to other people and to yourself in social contexts.
My approach is direct and structured. I do not believe in simply processing anxiety indefinitely. I believe in building the kind of confidence that comes from actual experience, supported by the right tools and a clear plan for getting there.
If social anxiety has been holding you back and you are ready to address it, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, but hypnosis offers a powerful way to find calm and confidence from within. Through hypnotherapy, we quiet the inner critic, ease anxious thoughts, and strengthen your sense of comfort and authenticity around others. Each session helps reprogram the subconscious mind to support self-trust and genuine connection. I offer virtual hypnosis sessions to help you feel more at ease, confident, and free to be yourself.
