Do you experience intense anxiety or nervousness when faced with social situations?
Do you fear being judged or criticized by others?
Are you always worried about making mistakes, looking bad or being embarrassed in front of others?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you may have a social anxiety disorder. While it is normal to feel nervous in some social situations, people who experience daily social anxiety tend to avoid everyday interactions that cause them significant fear, anxiety, self-consciousness, and embarrassment because they fear being scrutinized or judged by others.

Anxiety or Fears
Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
A lot of us deal with fears and anxiety. I like to think of fear as the emotion and anxiety as the disorder of the emotion out of control. Stress is mixed in here too. It can be hard to treat anxiety and fear because ultimately you'll have to face that which you are afraid of and that's uncomfortable. But we can take steps to build your confidence in facing the challenge ahead.

South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology, based in Centennial, Colorado, specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety or fears. Their skilled clinicians employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Let’s delve into the details:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a powerful technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It aims to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing individuals to triggering stimuli or thoughts in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated exposure, people become less physiologically aroused by these triggers, leading to habituation. The response prevention component teaches clients not to give in to compulsive behaviors, ultimately breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): South Psychology integrates CBT principles to help clients understand and manage their anxious thoughts. By identifying cognitive distortions and challenging irrational beliefs, individuals learn healthier coping strategies. CBT equips them with practical tools to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Optimizing Functioning: Beyond symptom reduction, South Psychology focuses on optimizing various aspects of life. Whether it’s excelling in school, advancing in a career, or nurturing social connections, their approach aims to empower clients to thrive despite anxiety or fears.
