Feeling shy or nervous about holding a speech or a presentation, are feelings that most of us have experienced in life. But if you constantly fear other people's attention, always feel watched or judged and feel afraid that you will embarrass yourself, then you might be suffering from social anxiety.

People with social anxiety often do everything they can to avoid the situations that make them anxious. Just the thought of a fearful social event can give physical symptoms like tightness in the chest, pounding of the heart, blushing and dizziness.

Social anxiety can have tremendously negative effects on your life, making you miss out on work opportunities and even relationships with friends and partners.

Our therapy for social anxiety is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn to identify and challenge the automatic negative thoughts that underlie your fear of certain social situations. This might sound intimidating at first, but the key to your well-being is to stop avoiding the social situations that you find fearful. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually be exposed to these social situations. By doing so, you will learn how to deal with your fear and eventually you will be able to handle previously fearful situations without anxiety, allowing you to participate in your life, as you are supposed to do!

"I'm grateful to this service for connecting me with Dr. Fulivia Cannady. Working with her has helped me enormously to understand the ways I have traditionally dealt with feelings of anger -- why I have reacted in the past the way I have reacted, and what I can do about it in the future. I'm sure I'll still lose my temper in ways that I'll regret -- but I'm certain that this will happen much less often than it used to, and I'll know what to do as I feel it happening, which is wonderful. Dr. Cannady has never shamed me for having the feelings I have, nor for the ways I've handled them. She displays great understanding, compassion and humor. I highly recommend her as a therapist. Five stars!"

"The steps in this program are great but not tailored for everyone's needs. I found some of the things helpful and some of it, not so much. That being said, I can see the effort put into this and with help, this can help people get out of their funk and back on track! I hope someone reads this and gives it a try...may change you life!"
