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.

"So far, this has been a really positive experience. Online therapy makes it easy to stay consistent, and I feel genuinely listened to during sessions. The conversations feel supportive but also practical, and I usually walk away with something useful to think about or apply. The platform is simple to use, which helps a lot."

"I've used a few online therapy services and this has been the best one so far with a comprehensive platform of therapy and exercises for me to use. I know that not every therapist/client match is a win from the start, but this one just nailed it for me where I was able to form an easy rapport with my therapist and also message more often, which for me, more helpful than 1:1 video appointments but to have that option is amazing too. Very happy with this and so worth the cost."

"Thank you so much for this service. The worksheets really made me dig in and sort out some of the difficult emotions.
My therapist, Dana, was excellent and really challenged me to keep up the work to get over the hurdles.. the constant contact helped me to have a continuous healing conversation. The videos were very informative and I have a whole new toolbox to use moving forward.
I feel like a new person in just a few weeks and am moving forward with new insights for the next season of my life and many tools to use when issues arise in the future.
I’m very glad I made the choice to log in and start healing. Thank you so much..:)
Happy Camper"
