    PHOBIAS & SOCIAL ANXIETY

    Treating Phobias &
    Social Anxiety

    Pop culture often makes light of certain phobias—but for those who have them, life can feel truly terrifying at times.

    Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder rooted in specific, excessive, unrealistic fears of particular objects, situations, people, or animals. They’re commonly divided into two categories—social phobias and specific phobias—and our clinicians treat both.

    Whether you’re terrified of social situations or afraid of something specific, you may feel very alone in your fears… but you don’t have to. We are here for you: both to listen to your worries and to help you overcome them.
