When Phobias Begin to Shape Your Life
A phobia is an intense fear that can feel overwhelming, even when the actual situation poses little or no danger. Over time, avoidance can quietly take over decision-making.
You may notice:
Going out of your way to avoid specific places, objects, or situations
Planning your day around fear rather than preference
Turning down opportunities at work or school due to avoidance
Feeling restricted in travel, social activities, or daily routines
Experiencing distress at the thought of encountering the feared situation
Phobias can be isolating, but they are also highly treatable.
A Structured Approach to Working With Phobias
Therapy for phobias focuses on understanding how fear is learned and how it can be unlearned in a gradual, supportive way. Our work is collaborative and paced carefully, with respect for your comfort and goals.
