Adult Social Anxiety Group

Tuesdays from 5:30pm-7:00pm, in person at DASC’s Lakeview office

DASC offers a social anxiety group that is a 13-week, closed group for adults who experience social anxiety and find themselves avoiding social situations. The group structure was created through Hoffman and Otto’s (2008) group protocol outlined in “Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder: Evidence-based and Disorder Specific Treatment Techniques.”

This group incorporates additional evidence-based treatment, including mindfulness, values work, ACT metaphors, and exposures that utilize Dr. Michelle G. Craske’s research on inhibitory learning. Older adolescents may be able to join this group if deemed clinically appropriate.
