Social anxiety treatment at Austin Anxiety and OCD Specialists

Social anxiety is more than shyness or nervousness in social settings. It's a common and oftentimes debilitating experience that can significantly impact quality of life. A pervasive fear of criticism, judgment, embarrassment, or rejection often characterizes social anxiety. People with social anxiety may avoid speaking up in meetings or at school, dread social gatherings, or feel paralyzed at the thought of meeting new people.
