Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by irrational fears of public or open spaces. A person suffering from agoraphobia usually has previously had a panic attack in public and, therefore, avoids similar places or situations due to the fear of re-experiencing it.

Common places that are avoided are places that are difficult to easily escape like cinemas, churches, stores and traveling publicly by bus, train or airplane. If you avoid public situations like this due to the fear of having a panic attack and sometimes even isolate yourself at home, you might be suffering from agoraphobia.

If this sounds like you, please know you are not stuck; there are treatments that can help you. Our therapy for agoraphobia is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on the negative thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to your fear of having a panic attack and lead to avoidance. With the help of your therapist, you will slowly be exposed to real-life situations that cause your fear of a panic attack. While this may sound scary, it will be safe and will eventually help you overcome your fears. You will learn how to control your anxiety and to look at your fears in a more realistic light. As you progress through the treatment, the thought or experience of panic will become less petrifying. Eventually you will be able to cope with previously fearful situations so you can take control of your life again.

"The counselor that we were paired with has been one like no other. This is our 3rd platform, attempting marriage counseling and I can honestly say that it is the only one that has led us to meeting a counselor that put in the work and effort for us. Sessions don't consist of silence and awkward chat, they consist of structured conversations surrounding real life issues between our marriage to actually work on."

I like the fact that I could message my therapist anytime during the week and get valuable feedback. I love the flexibility of this program. I’ve been able to schedule my video sessions on my time. I highly recommend this program."

"This was a fantastic program that helped me learn a lot of things about myself and why I was neglecting issues that were causing problems in my life. My therapist Steffani was absolutely awesome. She worked with me to help ME work out the issues with a really amazing combination of insight, empathy and the right dose of firmness. The content and exercises were almost all valuable to me. Even though I had a very specific issue going on, which made some of the content not applicable to me, just seeing it helped me challenge myself on many different areas I had not even considered. I highly recommend this service for a concentrated 4-week program to get the train back on track. I feel like I have the tools now to keep it there."
