New Path Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
We help individuals overcome the fear and discomfort that can arise in social situations, whether it's speaking in public, meeting new people, or participating in group settings. Social anxiety often stems from a fear of judgment or rejection, but our approach is designed to help clients challenge these fears and build greater confidence in their social interactions. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness, we work with clients to identify and reframe negative thought patterns, gradually reduce avoidance behaviors, and develop effective coping strategies. Our goal is to empower individuals to feel more comfortable in social situations, build stronger connections with others, and ultimately embrace life with less fear and greater self-assurance.

Leo Massey
Therapist, LMSW
To help those experiencing social anxiety, I utilize evidence-based intervention methods, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Therapy, which are highly effective for this condition. I also incorporate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help manage anxious thoughts and feelings. When appropriate, we may use gradual exposure techniques to build confidence in social situations. Additionally, I teach practical skills for managing anxiety symptoms and improving social interactions. I look forward to working together to help you overcome social anxiety and achieve your therapeutic goals!

New York City Psychotherapy Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
From figuring out who you are to navigating relationships, work, and even what to eat for dinner, it's all a struggle when you don't feel comfortable in your own skin. You're frustrated, stuck, and maybe you’ve even tried therapy before and it wasn't the magic bullet you hoped for. The thought of starting again feels like another hurdle. But you also can’t keep going this way. You’re done with your own self-doubt. Deep down, you know you need a way out of this funk.
