Social Anxiety
Sessions are offered in English, French, and/or Farsi.
Do you experience intense anxiety or nervousness when faced with social situations?
Do you fear being judged or criticized by others, even in casual or routine interactions? Are you constantly worried about making mistakes, looking bad, or being embarrassed in front of others?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you may be experiencing social anxiety. While it’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous in certain social situations—like giving a presentation or meeting someone new—those with social anxiety disorder often feel overwhelmed by fear and self-consciousness in everyday interactions. This intense anxiety can lead to avoidance of social situations, which may affect relationships, work, and quality of life. You may find yourself missing out on opportunities because of fear of judgment or humiliation.
At Grounded Psychology, we understand how isolating and frustrating social anxiety can feel. You don’t have to go through it alone. Please reach out to book a free 15-minute consultation with one of our compassionate therapists.
