Social Anxiety
Overcome fear of judgment and connect with ease.
Overview
Social anxiety is the intense fear of being watched, evaluated, or judged by others. It can make everyday actions—like ordering food, speaking in meetings, or attending events—feel terrifying. Therapy helps you quiet the inner critic and build real social confidence.
How Therapy Helps
Using CBT and graduated exposure therapy, we help you identify cognitive distortions, practice grounding techniques, and take gradual steps to engage with social situations comfortably.
Common Signs & Symptoms
You might be experiencing one or more of these symptoms:
Extreme dread before social gatherings or presentations
Worrying about showing physical signs of anxiety (blushing, sweating)
Avoiding social interactions or staying quiet to not draw attention
Post-event rumination (over-analyzing what you said)
Belief that others will think poorly of you
