Agoraphobia Therapy In Suwanee

Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety that results from fears of being in specific places or situations in which escape might be difficult or embarrassing, and help may not be available during an unexpected or situational panic attack or panic-like symptoms. Agoraphobic fears typically involve specific situations such as being outside the home, crowded places, lines, and open spaces. Agoraphobia can impact mental health and functioning. The condition may affection relationships, the ability to work, isolation, and loneliness.

Very often, irrational thoughts are at the core of agoraphobia. We all have irrational thoughts, but sometimes they take hold. Instead of seeing them for what they are, we start to believe them as truth.

In therapy, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and gradual exposure to help you notice these thoughts for what they are and take small, steady steps toward the places or situations you’ve been avoiding. At Authentic-Life Counseling, the process is personalized so you can build coping skills and regain confidence in your daily life.
