Social Anxiety Disorder Therapy Group

SOCIAL ANXIETY & SHYNESS?

You may be suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia), a condition that affects more than 32 million Americans.

Do you worry about being judged, evaluated, or criticized by others?
Do you experience anxiety or panic in social or performance situations?
Do you fear that people will notice your anxiety and think less of you?
Do you avoid social or performance situations because of your fears and anxiety?
Does your anxiety restrict your ability to fully enjoy life?

We are offering a 12-week group that utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective treatment to overcome social anxiety. CBT does not require the use of medications, but is effective with or without medication.

Participants will learn to:

Change self-defeating patterns of fearful or negative thinking
Develop coping skills for entering into social situations
Develop a greater confidence and better self-image in social situations

The group will be lead by Dr. Jim Shenk and Mr. Sean Butland, AMFT, and will include 5 to 8 members. We intend to offer the group in-person at our La Jolla office, although we may offer an online group for anyone living in California if there is sufficient interest in this options.

Leader: James Shenk, Ph.D.

*Fee: $90 per session (90-minute sessions)

An individual assessment and preparation session ($225) is required prior to starting the group.

Note: There is a Pay-in-Advance option that would save 10% of the cost for the session.

If there is an online group, the fee will be reduced if more than 8 participants.
