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!

"I am truly appreciative of this online therapy experience. My therapist, Vanessa An (MNCPS(acc,) MBacp (accred), DipCouns), was absolutely amazing! She made me feel comfortable and was so understanding of my needs. She challenged me in ways that I didn't know I needed. I appreciate how she was supportive and patient with me. I feel so much more confident with my myself and my situation. I was slightly apprehensive in the beginning of the program, but found myself looking forward to my sessions and appreciating all of the new things I have learned along the way. I definitely recommend my therapist and this program! Thank you Vanessa An for everything!"

"Karon Hopkins has done wonders in helping me see things in a different light. The worksheets provided by the site have also helped me to understand what is going on inside my head. I still have a ways to go, but I am feeling like there is hope now."

"I have done therapy before through a different service, and although it helped in the moment, I don’t feel as though I had the tools to cope. Now that I’m trying this service, I can already tell that I’m learning to cope better. I’m actually doing the work to feel better, and the format makes it easy to see what is required of you. I kind of like that it actually has worksheets and sections, it makes it a lot easier for me to break down what is bothering me on a day to day basis, but also the things I avoid. And my therapist always follows up with questions or comments on what I fill out, probing me to go deeper into certain things. So far quite helpful!"
