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!

"The program was great! My therapist listened well to all of my problems and offered great solutions to change my way of thinking and get me going on the right path. Of course it takes a lot of personal effort too but my confidence has gone up and anxiety has gone down in about a month. I would recommend this to a friend."

"I was skeptical at first- love the tools but was unsure of how the live sessions would go. I am happy to report that my experience has been GREAT I thought that this would be a short term jumpstart for my healing journey but I see this as a longer term fit now because my therapist is outstanding and I am thrilled to have someone who is very capable and qualified guiding me through this process. The only downside so far has been occasional limited availability for live sessions- understandable but one week there was a cancellation and no options for a rebooking that week."

"I had to switch my therapist after about one week. Once I switched I really enjoyed using this type of therapy. My therapist is extremely helpful and the worksheets make me think. It is nice to be able to participate when time permits for me. I would highly recommend to people curious about online therapy."

"I am finding the worksheets very helpful in working thru different scenarios. I am very in tune to my triggers, etc. however I have always struggled with how to "correct" my thought patterns. The worksheets and my therapist are helping with this! Very hopeful!!"
