Do I have social anxiety? How do I fix my social anxiety?

If you have social anxiety, questions like these may be common. We're here to help.

Social anxiety may include cognitive symptoms (like recurring anxious thoughts) and physical symptoms (like sweating, trembling, blushing or a racing heart). If you have social anxiety, you may find yourself caught in a painful feedback loop: your anxiety can make socializing more difficult, which creates even more fear. In therapy, a key goal is to break this vicious cycle.



With social anxiety, you may feel shame, shame, embarrassment, frustration and hopelessness. Together, we'll help you heal, grow and get on track (or back on track). When you're ready, we're here. Get started with your free 15 minute consultation. Click here.

Health Anxiety

Did you know there are two health anxiety diagnoses? The one we work with is Illness Anxiety Disorder, which is driven by a fear or preoccupation of having an illness. If you struggle with this, you may perform a range of help-seeking behaviors (such as researching illnesses online or scheduling many doctors visits). Alternately, you may shy away from contact with healthcare providers even though you need help.

Cyberchondria

As the pioneer provider of therapy upgraded for internet-era living, we're flagship providers of Cyberchondria support and therapy. Cyberchondria is related to health anxiety, but it's not included in the DSM. It was first identified in the late 1990s as a syndrome. It describes online searches that grow feelings of anxiety or distress around health, diagnoses & lifestyles.

If either of these concerns seem familiar, set up your free 15 minute consultation with us. At Therapy 2.0, we work with individuals, healthcare providers and institutions. We're here to help in whatever way we can. Click here.

Neurodiverse-affirming anxiety therapy near me. Therapy for autistic anxious people. Autistic anxiety therapy.

Does your google search history look like this? If so, you're 100% in the right place.

Many autistic people have anxiety, but not all anxiety therapy is equal. If you're autistic, socializing  hits different, and if your therapist doesn't understand this, they may accidentally minimize your very-real, lived experience of the world. We pledge to acknowledge your experiences. We'll also provide direct and respectful feedback if you have a 'blind spot' that may be impacting your progress.

Anxiety and autism are frequently found together. A major study found 40-50% of autistic people additionally receive an anxiety diagnosis. This overlap in diagnoses should not be surprising, as people with autism may feel misunderstood or may seek out consistency. Additionally, autistic people frequently report difficulties with social interaction, which may be related to social anxiety experiences. 

If you'd like to get started with a neurodiverse-affirming therapist who understands the many links between anxiety and autism, set up your free 15 minute consultation with us today. We understand your prior therapy experiences may have been less-than-great, and we pledge to listen, care and respect your needs. Click here.

Why should you choose a neurodiverse-affirming therapy practice?

• An open & inquisitive mindset: Neurodiverse-affirming therapy doesn’t assume you’re thinking or operating the “standard” way. Neurodivergent people may look at the world differently. This open-ended, inquisitive approach may lead to challenging key assumptions at times. This can support insight and growth in neurodivergent and neurotypical people.

• A focus on environments, systems and contexts: Neurodiverse people often need to consider how they fit into their environment, as barriers frequently exist. Rather than automatically orienting the problem inside you, Neurodiverse-affirming therapy explores how external factors may be impactful, important or relevant. This grows self-compassion and empathy, and it spurs the development of unique-to-you tools, strategies and supports. 

• Strengths-focused: When people feel different, it can be important to find and lead with strengths. Neurodiverse-affirming therapy uncovers and helps you supercharge what you do well and what you're proud of. This, quite clearly, can have significant positive therapeutic benefits!
