Hear what Dr. Laura is saying about our lastest book!

Welcome to our site! We developed this site to provide you with self-help tips, assessment tools, and information about social anxiety disorder. While social anxiety disorder is extremely common, there’s been a tendency to minimize it as a minor problem. People may say to you, “Oh, you’re just shy,” or “Everyone feels nervous around other people at times.” But you know it’s not that simple. Social anxiety disorder is a real problem, and it can be serious. What’s important to realize, though, is that it’s highly treatable. You don’t have to let fear and anxiety control your life. We hope this site and our books will help you chart your course toward recovery. If you need additional guidance, contact us about our new coaching services.

We’ve recently written a book for parents of children who suffer from social anxiety disorder. It’s entitled, Nurturing the Shy Child: Practical Help for Raising Confident and Socially Skilled Kids and Teens. It was published by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press and is available now.
