Phobias in Los Angeles

Erasing Fear

Phobias, or now known as Specific Phobias, is a type of anxiety disorder that is characterized by an intense fear of an object, a place, an event, or a situation. Exposure to the specific situation or object can bring about an intense sense of fear, anxiety, and dread.

At our Teen Anxiety Treatment in Los Angeles, California, we understand that every teenager has something that they are uncomfortable or fearful of. However, phobias can be very serious, and they can disrupt a teenager’s daily routine. People with phobias tend to avoid the situations and objects that can trigger their phobia, which leads to a disruption of their routine, and it can even cause a strain in a teenager’s social life and relationships.
