Feeling shy or nervous about holding a speech or a presentation, are feelings that most of us have experienced in life. But if you constantly fear other people's attention, always feel watched or judged and feel afraid that you will embarrass yourself, then you might be suffering from social anxiety.

People with social anxiety often do everything they can to avoid the situations that make them anxious. Just the thought of a fearful social event can give physical symptoms like tightness in the chest, pounding of the heart, blushing and dizziness.

Social anxiety can have tremendously negative effects on your life, making you miss out on work opportunities and even relationships with friends and partners.

Our therapy for social anxiety is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn to identify and challenge the automatic negative thoughts that underlie your fear of certain social situations. This might sound intimidating at first, but the key to your well-being is to stop avoiding the social situations that you find fearful. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually be exposed to these social situations. By doing so, you will learn how to deal with your fear and eventually you will be able to handle previously fearful situations without anxiety, allowing you to participate in your life, as you are supposed to do!

"I highly recommend my assigned therapist, Stephanie Korchynski.

Her response times are great. She walks the line between keeping our video sessions personable, while maintaining professional boundaries with great skill. Her suggestions will feel slightly generic initially, but once you reflect on which aspects of your situation you wish to prioritize, her feedback is insightful and expertly tailored.

I'm grateful to have finally invested in myself, and to have been gifted with Stephanie's guidance. Having that external impartial lens has been very grounding."

"I worked with my therapist, Angela Selvaggio for over a year and she was such a great help to me. I came to therapy to find myself again at this stage of my life, and she listened so well.
Angela was also very real which is something I value. I would highly recommend her services. Thank you."

"I like the convenience and that each session is 45 minutes instead of 30 compared to other sites that are similar. Still is a bit pricey though"
