Social phobia treatment

The Yale Psychological Services Clinic is seeking individuals to participate in a state-of-the-art treatment program using a cognitive-behavioral group approach to help people overcome anxieties experienced in social situations, such as public speaking, dating or evaluations in the workplace.

The clinic is a clinical, training and research facility affiliated with the Department of Psychology. Group psychotherapy provides clients with a safe environment in which to learn and practice skills to help manage anxiety.

Pre-group assessments will start in December and the groups will begin in February. Potential participants will undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether the treatment is appropriate. Individuals selected for treatment will participate in group sessions over a 12- to 20-week period. Fees range from $40 to $55 per group session, based on a sliding fee scale. These services are reimbursed by many insurance carriers. For more information, call (203) 432-4520.
