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.

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.

Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we approach social anxiety with the understanding that it often arises from deeply rooted fears of judgment, rejection, or inadequacy. Our method focuses on uncovering the most fundamental layer of this, or the "core fear", and identifying the “chief defense” individuals develop to protect themselves, such as avoidance, excessive people-pleasing, or self-criticism. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ model, we guide clients to do the opposite of these defenses, allowing them to gradually face their fears in a safe, supportive way. This approach helps clients build confidence, enhance their communication skills, and experience greater ease in social settings. As they gain a stronger sense of self, individuals find their relationships and social connections improve, fostering a more fulfilling and connected life.

Matt McDavid
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Creating meaningful, supportive relationships begins with understanding how past traumas may shape the ways we connect with others. By compassionately exploring these past influences, we can recognize patterns and dynamics that no longer serve us, transforming them into opportunities for growth and healthier connection. This journey invites us to bring awareness to our choices in relationships, allowing us to foster deeper, more authentic bonds that align with our true selves. Through this process, we empower ourselves to build a network of connections that genuinely support and uplift our journey forward.
