Feeling shy or nervous about holding a speech or a presentation, are feelings that most of us have experienced in life. But if you constantly fear other people's attention, always feel watched or judged and feel afraid that you will embarrass yourself, then you might be suffering from social anxiety.

People with social anxiety often do everything they can to avoid the situations that make them anxious. Just the thought of a fearful social event can give physical symptoms like tightness in the chest, pounding of the heart, blushing and dizziness.

Social anxiety can have tremendously negative effects on your life, making you miss out on work opportunities and even relationships with friends and partners.

Our therapy for social anxiety is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn to identify and challenge the automatic negative thoughts that underlie your fear of certain social situations. This might sound intimidating at first, but the key to your well-being is to stop avoiding the social situations that you find fearful. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually be exposed to these social situations. By doing so, you will learn how to deal with your fear and eventually you will be able to handle previously fearful situations without anxiety, allowing you to participate in your life, as you are supposed to do!

"I was not happy with the first therapist I was matched to as she was too busy and I felt I wasn't getting enough support. Then I read about Dr. Peter Sacco and switched over to him. The process was easy and he is really good at what he does! He listens and more importantly has the insight and experience to come up with solutions to my issues with procrastination and other issues. He has written books on these topics and has done extensive research and knows what he is doing. Highly recommend him for anybody struggling with professional or addiction issues!"

"I really really like the service this page provides. There are many different tools and approaches to help figuring out what the issues are and how to support each individual (using this for couples therapy) to move forward.
I took one star off because it is not always the easiest to schedule appointments due to different time zones and the page itself is sometimes having difficulties to keep a good quality for the video sessions.
Outside of that I still recommend this platform for therapy."

"So far. I am still going through worksheets before I finally have a session with the therapist.

The worksheets have been a challenge, but that has been part of the learning experience about learning to manage my thought process.

The therapist has chimed in and has given me some good insights, and has given me some clues that help me understand the cycle of thought that has to change."
