Social Anxiety Disorder

Living with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) can feel like being trapped behind a wall, longing to connect, but held back by fear and self-doubt. For the 7.1% of American adults with SAD, even simple conversations or daily interactions can trigger overwhelming anxiety.

At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), we understand how isolating this experience can be. That’s why we offer supportive, personalized care to help you or your loved one step out from behind that wall and into a life of greater confidence, connection, and calm.

What is Social Anxiety Disorder?

Social Anxiety Disorder is more than just being shy or introverted. It’s a chronic mental health condition that causes an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social situations. This fear can interfere with daily life. It makes it difficult to form relationships, attend school or work, and enjoy everyday experiences.

Common symptoms of social anxiety disorder include:

  • Avoidance of social situations
  • Intense worry or fear before events
  • Physical symptoms like blushing, trembling, or nausea
  • Low self-esteem or self-criticism
  • Difficulty making eye contact or speaking in groups

Social anxiety often develops in adolescence and can worsen over time without treatment. But with the right guidance, peace of mind is closer than you think.

What to Expect During Treatment

At FACTS, we offer a compassionate and tailored approach to social anxiety disorder treatment. We work closely with each client to understand their unique experience and create a plan that helps them develop coping skills that build confidence and emotional resilience. We want individuals to be able to face their life with confidence and not be ruled by their anxiety.

Our team integrates a range of evidence-based and holistic therapies to support the mind, body, and spirit. This includes:

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our holistic therapies include art therapy, yoga, meditation, sound healing, and movement-based practices that foster self-expression, reduce stress, and support emotional regulation.

One-on-one therapy offers a safe, private space to explore the root causes of anxiety and work through personal challenges. Our licensed clinicians leverage Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide clients with empathy and expertise every step of the way.

Group therapy provides opportunities to connect with others who are facing similar struggles. With professional facilitation, patients practice communication skills, build confidence, and experience the healing power of community support.

RRT is a brief, solution-focused approach designed to resolve emotional disturbances quickly. It helps clients process past experiences that may be contributing to their anxiety, offering clarity and lasting relief.

ART combines elements of traditional talk therapy with guided visualization and eye movements. It is especially effective for reducing anxiety tied to specific social situations or past traumas.

EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps clients reprocess distressing memories. For those whose social anxiety is rooted in earlier experiences of embarrassment, EMDR can promote powerful breakthroughs.

Social anxiety doesn’t only affect the individual. It also impacts loved ones. Our family therapy and workshops help families learn how to support the recovery journey while strengthening communication.
