Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If social situations leave you overthinking every interaction, you may be experiencing social anxiety. Meetings, conversations, or group settings can feel draining when worry about being judged or misunderstood is always present. Therapy focuses on understanding the patterns behind social anxiety and building confidence so social and professional interactions feel more manageable.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.

Bonfire Healing - Bonnie Deopp, MS, LMHC, CN
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CN, EMDR certified, Clinical Supervisor
Welcome, We're so glad you’re here! Bonfire Healing provides outpatient telehealth therapy with focus on complex mental health issues and developmental trauma along with co-occurring eating issues, addictions, chronic health conditions, nuerodiversity, and maladaptive behaviors. Our mission is to promote health equity through increasing access to evidence-based trauma treatment while utilizing insurance benefits so that this care is both high quality and affordable to more people. We honor that there is a strong correlation between trauma and the development of social anxiety. This is particularly true if we grew up with caregivers or peers who were not safe because they were explosive, criticizing, bullying, inattentive, neglectful, emotionally immature, and/or needy. We take a relational approach and we are in this together. We combine evidenced based modalities to heal these impacts on your nervous system and bring back regulation that decreases social anxiety symptoms.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
With social anxiety we will work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions as well as positive self talk, behavioral activation, probability estimation, pros and cons of being social, social skills & social cues, and behavioral activation (taking action). Often times we make something seem scarier in our own mind than it actually is. With anxiety one of the best ways to overcome it is simply to engage in the activity that scares you. I will help you to stop your negative thinking, to learn relaxation techniques and coping skills and then encourage you to face your fears and gain practice in social situations.

Dr. Misty Gibson
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LMHC, LCPC, LPC, CST-S, ACS
I help adults with social anxiety understand how fear of judgment, rejection, or misattunement shapes their relationships, intimacy, and sexual connection. Social anxiety can make dating, communication, and emotional vulnerability feel overwhelming, and many clients find themselves avoiding closeness even when they want it. In therapy, we explore how your nervous system responds to perceived threat, how early relational experiences shaped your expectations of others, and how these patterns show up during intimacy, conflict, and connection. Together we build skills for regulation, communication, and authentic expression so you can engage in relationships with more confidence and ease. You learn how to create relational and sexual dynamics that feel supportive, reciprocal, and aligned with your true self rather than driven by fear.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
Social anxiety often entails a hyperfocus on how you'll be received rather than how you can express yourself. This form of anxiety can come from various sources so we will work to understand the specific obstacles and patterns you have around social experiences to then move forward into a more ease filled approach.

Brittney Neidhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Social anxiety is more than just "stage fright." It can often be debilitating to folks who experience it and learning how to work with it takes time. Together we can identify triggers, how it shows up in your body and ways of managing it so that you can feel better during social interactions or simply being around other people.
