Social Anxiety Disorder Therapy

 


Social Anxiety Disorder can be debilitating and isolating because individuals struggling with it experience intense fear that others are observing and judging them and consequently, end up avoiding social interactions. The nature of the anxiety may involve fears of public speaking, dating, or attending class or work and lead to individuals completely avoiding the situation(s) because they worry that others will notice their anxiety, negatively perceive them, and/or reject them. CBT for Social Anxiety focuses on helping individuals understand the interaction between their fears and behaviors that perpetuate the anxiety and then working together to establish new ways of interacting with others to challenge their beliefs.

The therapists at PVD Psychological Associates specialize in working with individuals with anxiety and implement research-supported, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for specific anxiety disorders they may be struggling with. We see children, adolescents, college students, and adults with various forms of anxiety disorders.
