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.

Matt McDavid
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Creating meaningful, supportive relationships begins with understanding how past traumas may shape the ways we connect with others. By compassionately exploring these past influences, we can recognize patterns and dynamics that no longer serve us, transforming them into opportunities for growth and healthier connection. This journey invites us to bring awareness to our choices in relationships, allowing us to foster deeper, more authentic bonds that align with our true selves. Through this process, we empower ourselves to build a network of connections that genuinely support and uplift our journey forward.

Christine Clark, PsyD
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Anxiety can be one of the most debilitating feelings we as humans can experience. When we feel this in social situations, it can be even worse as we fear judgment from others. Social connections and support can be so valuable and through talking through one’s experiences and fears, it is possible to build the skills necessary to tackle anxiety producing situations head on. Through facing the situations, it is possible to build connection, socially, and create a strong support system that will alleviate other feelings of anxiety one may be experiencing.

Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we approach social anxiety with the understanding that it often arises from deeply rooted fears of judgment, rejection, or inadequacy. Our method focuses on uncovering the most fundamental layer of this, or the "core fear", and identifying the “chief defense” individuals develop to protect themselves, such as avoidance, excessive people-pleasing, or self-criticism. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ model, we guide clients to do the opposite of these defenses, allowing them to gradually face their fears in a safe, supportive way. This approach helps clients build confidence, enhance their communication skills, and experience greater ease in social settings. As they gain a stronger sense of self, individuals find their relationships and social connections improve, fostering a more fulfilling and connected life.
