Humble Steps Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, APHSW-C
When Social Anxiety dictates your life, the very relationships you long for can feel like sources of intense threat and judgment. We will explore how this fear manifests as a protective, physical freeze response in social settings, tracking your somatic signals in real-time. By utilizing the collaborative, affirming space of AEDP, we will work together to build a reliable felt sense of safety in the presence of another, making external connections feel far more approachable.

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.
