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.

"So far a good experience, I really appreciate how easy it is to switch therapists and the response times CAN be slow but aren't terrible. Not sure how useful the worksheets are on their own, but they're good conversation starters for your therapist!"
