Social Anxiety Disorder Therapy
Treatment Specialties
It's normal to feel nervous in some social situations. Going on a date or giving a presentation may cause that feeling of butterflies in your stomach. But social anxiety is more. Everyday interactions cause significant anxiety, self-consciousness and embarrassment because you fear being scrutinized or judged negatively by others.
That fear and anxiety can lead to avoidance that can disrupt your life, causing severe stress that can affect your relationships, daily routines, work and school.
At Prime, our approach involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life
CBT therapy often includes role-playing and social skills training to help you practice interactions in a safe environment. Exposure therapy, a component of CBT, gradually exposes you to feared social situations to build confidence and reduce anxiety over time.
