Social Anxiety group

Telling people with long-standing fears of social evaluation to undertake group therapy can make the treatment sound daunting. Yet CBT group treatment for social anxiety problems is, for many people, the most effective approach to treating the problem. In this 12-week focused group, the interventions target the sequences of thought and behavior that have reinforced fear. The group is an excellent place to learn and practice social skills, cognitive restructuring, and exposure exercises. The supportive aspect of group therapy itself encourages clients to apply new behaviors and ways of thinking outside of group.
