Feeling shy or nervous about giving a speech or presentation is something most of us have experienced. 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 can gradually learn new ways to respond to fear and may become more comfortable in situations that previously felt overwhelming.

"The course I went through has taught me the tools and techniques needed to successfully navigate my anxieties. I realize this is a life long journey and I need to be diligent in using the tools and to be honest with myself. The therapist I had for this education was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, caring and took the time to help me understand fully the steps and course material. I am thankful for her help and her ability to be non judge-mental and sympathetic to my issues. I realize everyone is different, this course helped me greatly."

"I love the price point and that it allows me to schedule and know I will have 4 appointments in a month. I loved the quick matching with a therapist and the accessibility of changing my therapist easily whenever I feel its needed. The video session interface is easy to use and was clear though at times there was a voice echo (will be doing next session on laptop to compare connections); overall I am enjoying the accessibility of this service as well as the help I receive from my therapist here!"
