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 have been here for about a month and while I have previously had therapy, I needed to start again after reevaluating my life choices. The ability to choose a therapist that has matched my need and ability to research a bit about them has been helpful, as well as the ability to have a 1 on 1 video call as well. I am slowly building the structure I need to get out of the pits I have dug for myself from neglecting my own mental health and physical well being."

"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 am a busy mom in middle management. Any time I take for therapy during business and mom hours makes me feel like I’m taking away time from the people that depend on me. That’s probably why I need it! But, also, online therapy allows me to work on me during downtimes that my kids are asleep and business is shut down. It’s how I wind down from a busy day and grow into a person who is working, living, AND healing. There’s no traffic or struggle to find a therapist who is close to work or home who also has open appointments that match my schedule. My therapist cares and helps me find the spaces in my head and life that need self care and emotional healing. This has really set me on a path of self discovery and continued focus on taking care of myself first so that I can be more present and enjoy my family."
