Here's what previous group members shared about their experiences:
- "The group has been helpful for tackling my social anxiety triggers, and I have learned new strategies to use in the future, as well. I have made some great progress each week, due to having accountability and structure.
- "The group therapy for social anxiety led by Larisa and Gianna has been extremely helpful for me in learning about and developing the tools needed to manage, and hopefully overcome, my social anxiety. This is a problem that has plagued me for much of my life, and the social anxiety group offered the structure and supportive learning environment needed to help overcome some of the issues I face day-to-day. Gianna and Larissa are very professional, compassionate, and innovative facilitators, and the group members are highly supportive. It has been helpful also to find through the group setting that I am not alone in experiencing social anxiety issues. For anyone experiencing ongoing social anxiety, and wanting to work on managing it, I would highly recommend this group."- M.P., previous group member
- "I have found this group very helpful for confronting my social anxiety - from useful exercises rooted in CBT, to intra-group exposures to hearing from others with similar experiences - I would certainly recommend it to others."- J.P., previous group member
