Social Anxiety

Challenge your negative and anxious thoughts. At times it may feel like there’s nothing you can do about the way you feel and how you think. In reality, though, there are a number of things that can help. Be mindful. Being mindful and practicing mindful meditation helps you to be present and aware of your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental and positive way. Go to a coffee shop. If you enjoy watching movies online or catching up on your favorite TV show, then try taking your tablet or laptop to your nearest coffee shop. Create an exposure hierarchy. Identify and rate how each social situation makes you feel in terms of anxiousness. For example, 0 would mean no anxiety, and 10 would be a full-blown panic attack. Don’t focus on yourself. It’s hard to stop the endless mind chatter when you’re in situations that make you particularly anxious. We often turn inward and focus on ourselves and how others will perceive us, almost always assuming it will be negative. Adopt a healthier lifestyle to reduce anxiety.

Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition that can make it hard for individuals to fully participate in social situations. As a therapist, I understand the impact that social anxiety can have on one's life and I specialize in helping individuals manage symptoms of social anxiety to foster well-being through the use of evidence-based therapies such as prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Together, we will work to identify the triggers of your anxiety and develop effective strategies to manage them. We will explore the underlying causes of your social anxiety and use cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back. And, using prolonged exposure therapy, we will work to desensitize you to the feared situations, ultimately leading to a reduction of symptoms. My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your social anxiety and to help you build a brighter, more fulfilling future for yourself. I will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to work through your struggles and find solutions that work for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards a better tomorrow.
