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 best part is that there is daily communication through messages. The weekly sessions are great but the daily communication, which lets me sit back and read over what my therapist wrote twice, and be able to give my responses some deep thought, that's where it's at."

"I am grateful to have this service. I am only giving it 4 stars right now because I'm having a hard time staying motivated to do the worksheets. That could be because I haven't found a way to build it into my routine yet, or perhaps worksheets are just not the best medium that works for me right now... but I'll keep at it for a while and see what comes out of it."
