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.

"Lisa was a wonderful therapist! She helped me feel confident in expressing myself and that I had a safe space during our sessions. My therapy primarily centered around my couples relationship issues which she provided wonderful guidance and self-exploration and balancing between where I could feel justified in areas and opening up my eyes to how I can improve myself."

"Phil has been incredible. I'd always had fears that I might not connect with a therapist but he has been fantastic. I find his advice and insights both hopeful and genuine. He has a great mix of knowledge while also knowing how to frame his insights in a manner that a young man like me needs. It feels like talking to an uncle who knows a lot about the mind and life"

"I was skeptical of these services. Not in person? Not covered by insurance? However, after a couple of tries, I was able to find a therapist that I aligned with. I also applied for financial aid and even reimbursement from my health insurance."
