Social Anxiety
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social anxiety and related challenges, including fear of judgment, excessive self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, difficulty speaking in groups, performance anxiety, and discomfort in interpersonal interactions. Social anxiety can significantly impact relationships, work performance, confidence, and overall quality of life, often leading to isolation, stress, and reduced self-esteem.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social anxiety therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to fear and avoidance in social settings. Many individuals with social anxiety have experienced past criticism, embarrassment, rejection, bullying, or other distressing social experiences that continue to shape how they perceive and respond to social environments.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce anxiety responses, and build greater confidence in social situations. Therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, shifting negative beliefs about self and others, and developing healthier patterns of interaction.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, explore underlying fears, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety in real-world social settings. Treatment is personalized and supportive, helping clients gradually increase comfort, confidence, and authenticity in their interactions with others.
The goal of therapy is not to eliminate personality or force social performance, but to help clients feel more at ease being themselves, build meaningful connections, and reduce the fear and avoidance that interfere with daily life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond social anxiety, feel more grounded in social situations, and engage with others in a way that feels natural, confident, and authentic.

East Chattanooga covers the historically Black neighborhoods on Chattanooga's east side, communities with strong church and civic traditions that have carried decades of disinvestment and, more recently, renewal efforts. Mental health needs are shaped by economic stress, community violence exposure in some areas, and a shortage of nearby providers — with faith communities often the first line of support. Chattanooga's citywide providers and community health organizations serve the area.
