We understand how social anxiety—also known as social anxiety disorder—can quietly limit your life, relationships and sense of self. More than just shyness, social anxiety involves intense worry about being judged, embarrassed, or “put on the spot” in social settings. It might show up as:

• Avoiding gatherings, meetings or even one-on-one conversations because of fear of judgment

• Physical symptoms (sweating, trembling, racing thoughts) when you anticipate or face social interaction

• Saying “no” to chances to speak up, connect, or engage because the fear feels overwhelming

• A persistent sense of “what if I mess up?”, “what if they think badly of me?”, or “what if I don’t know what to say?”
  These experiences are real—and you don’t have to face them on your own. With the right evidence-based treatment, many people learn to live more fully, confidently, and connected.
