Social Anxiety therapists in Hamilton, 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.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Cognitive behavioral therapy uses a variety of direct methods to help patients modify their thoughts and emotional reactions to stressors like social situations. Using psychodynamic techniques, we will work together to gain insight into the emotional roots of unhealthy attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Based on the idea that avoiding the things we fear tends to reinforce anxiety, exposure therapy encourages people to encounter the sources of their anxieties in a controlled, deliberate way.

In therapy, you will learn to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs about social situations. Utilizing the cognitive-behavioral techniques I will help you develop coping strategies for managing anxiety symptoms, such as relaxation techniques and gradual exposure to feared social situations. Additionally, therapy may focus on improving social skills and communication, building self-confidence, and addressing underlying issues such as low self-esteem or past traumas that contribute to social anxiety.
