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.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Social anxiety can feel like a constant self-monitoring in relationships; worrying about how you are perceived, replaying conversations, or feeling tense, awkward, or “on display” in social settings. Even when outwardly functioning well, internally there may be a strong sense of pressure, fear of judgment, or exhaustion from managing impressions.
In therapy, we work to understand the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns underneath social anxiety, including past experiences of relational safety, belonging, and rejection. From a psychodynamic perspective, social anxiety is often connected to early attachment experiences and internalized beliefs about acceptance and worth.
Using a trauma-informed and Focusing-Oriented approach, we pay attention to what happens in the body in moments of social activation — the tightening, freeze responses, or self-consciousness — and learn how to stay present with those sensations rather than becoming overwhelmed by them.
Over time, this work supports greater ease in relationships, increased self-trust, and a more grounded sense of presence with others, rather than constant self-evaluation.
