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.

"I never felt like therapy was for me. I always took it as a form of weakness but after doing this for the past 2 months I feel like it has helped change me for the better. I always look forward to speaking with my therapist to get some things off my chest. I would definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with any type of mental illness"

"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."

"I have felt a shift since starting the therapy. Really enjoyed Mojgan as a therapist. Not only did she listen, she provided helpful feedback and tools. Learned new things about myself. Although my chronic illness continues I am finding different ways to look at it and manage it. I am signing up for things instead of avoiding so that I get out of my comfort zone. Signed up for drum class and a photo shoot for women over 40! Very outside my comfort zone but I am excited."

"Vanessa An (MNCPS(acc,) MBacp (accred), DipCouns) is an amazing counselor! I had to switch counselors ( was an effortless process through this website) and I’m so glad I did and found Vanessa. Had I known that processing the past, validation and reflection would have been so beneficial I would have not hesitated before. The new ground I’ve gained through this website and through Vanessa for my mental and emotional health was worth every penny!"
