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.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Social anxiety can leave you replaying conversations, worrying about how others perceive you, or avoiding situations that matter to you. We'll explore the fears and beliefs that fuel those patterns with curiosity rather than self-criticism, recognizing that they often developed for understandable reasons. As therapy progresses, you'll learn more flexible ways of responding to anxious thoughts so they have less influence over your choices. My hope is to help you feel more present, confident, and authentic in your relationships.
