Social Anxiety
Do you experience intense embarrassment in social settings?
Do you feel as though others are constantly judging you?
Do you refrain from talking and engaging with others when you go out?
Do you experience anxiety in large or small social settings and prefer to avoid these situations?
Approximately 12 percent of Americans will experience social anxiety in their lifetime making this condition quite common and manageable. I use a combination of ERP (exposure and response prevention), cognitive restructuring, social skills and assertiveness training when applicable. During sessions, we will explore underlining beliefs, avoidant behaviors, fears, and self-esteem as well as active behavior changes that will assist with social anxiety recovery. I can provide the support you need to conquer your symptoms so that you have an easier time living life day-to-day with reduced fear or worry about social situations.
