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.

"I have been working with Dr J. for several months now and she has helped more in the past few months than I have ever encountered with any other therapist! Dr J has a way of making me feel extremely comfortable to be myself and this allows my walls to stay down and remain open minded during our sessions. Her processes are solution based and I feel like she has an excellent sense of what real talk therapy can do to help many people with varying topics. My time spent with Dr J is well worth it and I always walk away from my sessions feeling lighter, happier and more confident knowing she has taught and given to me the tools to stay on track! Thank you, Dr J!!"

"The introduction video and the cognitive behavioral therapy explanation video are very well put together. They are inspiring and uplifting. I especially appreciate how it explains cognitive behavioral therapy and how it works and the benefits of it. The sessions and worksheets are easy to understand and follow. My first appointment with my counselor was very beneficial and I look forward to the next session."
