Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LMFT
I see Social Anxiety through the lens of a continuum -- Most people have experienced some form of nervousness, anxiety, or fear around the idea or situation of interacting with others, at some time in their life. Depending on the client's perception of their need for intervention, I offer a variety of approaches ranging from narrative to mindfulness to behavioral, and I'm happy to work in collaboration with clients' other wellness providers to arrive at their goals.

Elza Boycheva
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC
Do you feel anxious around others, worry what they might think, fear that they would judge you, or worry that you won't fit in? You may feel self-conscious, constantly second-guess yourself, feel embarrassed about speaking, or find yourself dwelling on what you said and what others thought. For some people, it's hard to even make eye contact or say hello. You may avoid social situations or find yourself feeling extremely anxious the entire time you're around others. Social anxiety can take a real toll on you and on your life. You may be worried about the impact it's having on your friendships, coworker interactions, workplace situations, or dating.

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.

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.
