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!

"Vanessa is a joy to work with. I feel like she completely understands the issues I'm having and is 100% on my side. She's the first therapist I have had that has recognized that there are underlying issues that need to be addressed from my past before I can truly move forward. I feel like I was meant to do this at this time."

"I enjoy working with the therapist Bernadette. She has helped me so much in so little time. I like this program as there's worksheets and feedback. CBT is very effective for my conditions and more helpful than talk therapy. Thank you."

"I have utilized many different resources available for anger management and this has so far been the best. The workbooks are very helpful tools and to have the therapist comment on my answers to the questions really creates an efficient system of getting to the root of things and the convenient access makes it easy to commit to."
