Build Confidence, Find Companionship

A GROUP FOR INTROVERTS OVERCOMING SOCIAL ANXIETY OR DATING ANXIETY

You’ve always been a bit shy. Even as a kid, you worried that you weren’t…well, enough. Or that you were too much – perhaps you’ve always feared deep down that if you were truly you, people would run in the other direction.

You thought, "I’m just introverted…maybe I’ll grow out of it." But the fears that haunted you as a kid – those worries that your peers, teachers, or crushes would judge and reject you – followed you into adulthood. You’ve simultaneously yearned for and feared relationships, leaving you frozen and isolated.

Friendships have felt hard, if not impossible, to build and maintain.

Speaking up to bosses and at team meetings sends you spinning for days at a time.

Parties are your worst nightmare.

And dating? Forget it.

HAVE AN INNER CRITIC WHO JUST. WON'T. QUIT?

From morning to night, that critical voice in your head says things like:

"What’s wrong with YOU?""Pull yourself together!""You're going to disappoint everyone.""No one likes you.""You're going to be alone forever."

Sometimes, it feels like everyone except you got the "How to Be a Confident/Not-Awkward Human" manual.

Dating and social anxiety are way more common than your Inner Critic would like you to think.

They’re also treatable. We’ve seen hundreds of clients overcome their shyness and build lives filled with calm, confidence, and companionship with the help of group therapy.

OUR GROUP FOR SOCIAL ANXIETY OR DATING ANXIETY CAN HELP YOU FIND COMPANIONSHIP

Learn practical, evidence-based techniques for working with and ultimately eliminating your dating and social anxiety.

Connect with like-minded peers and practice new skills in a safe environment.

Gain the self-esteem and courage needed to build deep, satisfying relationships.

Our 90-minute virtual sessions include experiential skill-building exercises, accountability check-ins, coaching from your expert facilitator, and group discussions. All activities are voluntary, meaning you can choose when and how to challenge yourself.

Between sessions, you’ll gently expand your comfort zone and learn how to calm your Inner Critic through homework assignments. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to get and give support from your peers between meetings.

What better place to learn how to connect confidently with others than in a group of people just like you?
