Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I work with individuals experiencing social anxiety, including fear of judgment, discomfort in social situations, and difficulty speaking up or feeling at ease around others. Together, we explore the thought patterns and physical responses that fuel anxiety, while gently working to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social settings. My approach is supportive and practical, helping you build real-world coping tools so you can feel more grounded, present, and comfortable in interactions at your own pace. The focus is on increasing confidence, easing social distress, and supporting you in showing up more fully and authentically in your relationships and daily life. If you’re ready to feel more at ease around others, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, intimidating, or even overwhelming. You might worry about being judged, embarrassed, or saying the “wrong” thing, leading you to avoid social situations, overthink conversations, or feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt. Over time, this can impact relationships, work, and your ability to feel confident and at ease around others. As a clinical psychologist, specializing in trauma, mood disorders and addiction, I help individuals understand and overcome social anxiety in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Together, we explore the underlying patterns that maintain anxiety, such as attachment anxiety, negative core beliefs about the self, fear of evaluation, and avoidance, and work toward building confidence and flexibility in social situations. My approach is integrative, utilizing evidence-based treatments, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and exposure therapy, while also incorporating depth oriented strategies to address root causes. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, helping you develop practical skills incrementally to navigate social interactions with greater ease and authenticity. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more comfortable being yourself, engage more fully in relationships, and approach social situations with increased confidence rather than fear.
