Social Anxiety therapists in Dry Run, Ohio OH
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
CBT is considered the preferred, first-line, evidence-based treatment for social anxiety. My downtown location lends itself to completing therapist-accompanied real world exposures with my clients. I believe exposure work to be at the core of effective treatment for SAD. I also provide group therapy for social anxiety, help clients develop the skills of making "small talk," and work to increase their levels of self-esteem and confidence.

Social anxiety can range from barely noticeable to debilitating. If you have more social anxiety than you would like, I have many ways to address it. By identifying your personal experience of anxiety, we can work together to help reduce it using a combination of techniques that are appropriate for you. This may include mental strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Systematic Desensitization, or physical strategies such as breathing techniques or other relaxation techniques.

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
This is a persistent, high level of fear for a social or performance event. Often individuals are around unfamiliar people and perceive themselves as being criticized by others. The individual fears that they will embarrass or humiliate themselves. This could occur at a party, a presentation at work, talking on the phone, making a speech, participating in a workshop, meeting the parents of your child’s friends, or even attending church. A very common version of this, particularly for children, is school phobia. Often school phobia is complicated by bullying, fears of the parents’ safety, or learning deficits.

Do you worry about saying just the *right* thing on a first date? Do you replay conversations you had with co-workers or your partner and beat yourself up because you didn't say something perfectly? Do you feel like you have to rehearse over and over what you're going to say before you say it so that person doesn't reject you or think you're an idiot? These are all common indicators of social anxiety and they don't have to keep ruling your life. It is possible to let go of needing to show up perfectly in conversations and not beat yourself up. Let me show you how!
