Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by irrational fears of public or open spaces. A person suffering from agoraphobia usually has previously had a panic attack in public and, therefore, avoids similar places or situations due to the fear of re-experiencing it.

Common places that are avoided are places that are difficult to easily escape like cinemas, churches, stores and traveling publicly by bus, train or airplane. If you avoid public situations like this due to the fear of having a panic attack and sometimes even isolate yourself at home, you might be suffering from agoraphobia.

If this sounds like you, please know you are not stuck; there are treatments that can help you. Our therapy for agoraphobia is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on the negative thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to your fear of having a panic attack and lead to avoidance. With the help of your therapist, you will slowly be exposed to real-life situations that cause your fear of a panic attack. While this may sound scary, it will be safe and will eventually help you overcome your fears. You will learn how to control your anxiety and to look at your fears in a more realistic light. As you progress through the treatment, the thought or experience of panic will become less petrifying. Eventually you will be able to cope with previously fearful situations so you can take control of your life again.

"Everyone goes through their own unique journey. I certainly have. For the longest time, it felt unfair and I had a lot of rage. I had a lot of anxiety and a lot of pain. Therapy helped me realize I can't control what happens but I can control how I react to events. It taught me that I am not my thoughts - I am the detached, calm, and silent observer observing those thoughts and emotions. Karen Coupe helped me a lot and I am grateful."

"Beth Lakes is a wonderful and thoughtful and present therapist! I was a therapist in a previous life and I can tell you she is very good at her calling to do this for others. She is kind and pays attention to what you are saying as much as what you are not saying. Definitely recommend her and Online Therapy. It is very flexible with how and where and when."

"I've been using these app, and working with Chaya for a year. It has been the easiest platform to use. I can schedule my appointments easily, and communicate with with my therapist any time, and Chaya always responds very quickly. I started using this platform when I was going through some life changes out of my home state, and needed a reliable therapist that I could work with while I traveled. Chaya has been incredible to work with, and I have seen immense growth and recovery. Highly recommend the platform and therapist."
