Living with a mental health condition can affect many areas of your life including your mood, career, relationships, and health. Mental health treatment can provide you with the support you need to manage your symptoms and improve your functioning. A Mission For Michael (AMFM) can provide you with individualized residential care for a range of mental health conditions.
At AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers, we treat a range of mental health conditions including mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma-related disorders, and dual diagnosis conditions. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in the United States, affecting 40 million adults annually. We are going to spend time talking about social anxiety disorder, and anxiety treatment programs offered in mental health treatment centers.
Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, can cause an intense and persistent fear that arises in social settings. You may find yourself worried about being embarrassed, humiliated, or judged. These fears can affect multiple different areas of your life, including work, school, and other daily activities. The fear that comes with this anxiety disorder can feel intense and out of your control.
Those living with mild social anxiety disorder can continue engaging in their daily routine, others find its effects debilitating. There are individualized characteristics associated with this condition as well. Some individuals are uncomfortable in social situations, whereas others experience symptoms in specific situations, like giving a speech or playing in a sporting event.
The causes of social anxiety disorders can vary from person to person. This condition is often the result of environmental, psychological, and genetic factors. Individuals who experience bullying or rejection at a young age may have a higher risk of developing social anxiety disorder.
Individuals who have family members that struggle with a fear of social situations may have a higher risk of developing social anxiety disorder. Additionally, studies have indicated that those who have an overactive amygdala may have heightened fear responses, which can contribute to social anxiety symptoms.
Social anxiety treatment programs are mental health counseling programs that provide a structured approach for those who are experiencing social anxiety symptoms. Treatment programs can provide education and resources about coping with social anxiety, which can improve your overall functioning.
Social anxiety disorder treatment can include the use of therapy, medication management services, and skill-building sessions. Holistic treatment centers focus on addressing emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms associated with this disorder. Treatment can include both individual and group therapy, depending on your needs. There are various treatment approaches that can be incorporated into your treatment to address a range of symptoms and severities. We encourage you to contact an AMFM Mental Health Treatment Center to learn about available treatment programs.
The first step in finding a social anxiety treatment program is to know which level of care you should be focusing on. This can be challenging to narrow down on your own, which is why A Mission For Michael (AMFM) offers a free and confidential social anxiety assessment. This will focus on exploring your symptoms and their severity.
We use this information to understand the connection between your social anxiety and relationships, work, and other important areas of your life. Once we have a better understanding of your symptoms and concerns, we will provide you with a treatment recommendation. We can provide you with support and encouragement throughout the admission process to ensure that you don’t feel alone during this transition. Call us today to begin.

Those living with social anxiety disorders often experience an intense fear regarding social situations. This can include being worried about being embarrassed, judged, and humiliated. Others can experience anticipatory anxiety where they worry about saying or doing something. Social anxiety can include a negative self-perception. This can lead to believing that others will view you as inadequate or unqualified.
You may avoid social situations like public speaking, meeting new people, and participating in group activities. You may have excuses to skip events that involve social situations. You may engage in safety behaviors to avoid drawing attention to yourself. You may also experience difficulties with daily activities including eating in public, using public restrooms, and starting conversations.
There are a number of visible signs associated with anxiety. This includes blushing, trembling, or sweating. You may have a hard time maintaining eye contact with others. Additional, somatic complaints are common. This can include rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or upset stomach. Some experience shortness of breath or lightheadedness.
Social anxiety can have a significant impact on your daily life, including work and school. This can lead to avoiding presentations, group projects, and interactions with authority figures. You may also find it difficult to form new friendships or romantic relationships. It is not uncommon for individuals to avoid hobbies and other events that involve groups or strangers.
Social anxiety disorder can look different for everyone. Noticeable differences can be found in the triggers you experience and the severity of which you experience your symptoms. You may have mild, moderate, or severe symptoms. Continue reading for a brief overview of varying types of social anxiety disorder:
Generalized social anxiety disorder can include a persistent fear of most social interactions and settings. This can include situations like talking to strangers, group activities, and social gatherings. You may find yourself avoiding social situations to avoid pervasive worrying. The intensity of your treatment is dependent on the severity of your symptoms and impairment.
Non-performance situational anxiety can provoke anxiety symptoms in specific situations that do not involve a performance. This can include situations like walking in a crowded space and taking public transportation. This anxiety can have a significant impact on your daily life, affecting work, school, and other daily responsibilities.
Specific social phobias can include fear in specific social situations and interactions. This can include things like eating in public, or using the public restrooms. This can make it challenging for you to engage in typical social activities. Your symptoms can include both psychological and physical symptoms.
Performance social anxiety can include an intense fear of performing in front of others. This commonly creates challenges in academic and workplace settings. You may find yourself experiencing physical and psychological symptoms that make it challenging to navigate some social situations.
Interactional social anxiety disorder can make it challenging to engage in in-person conversations and forming new connections with people. You may find yourself struggling with small talk and meeting new people. You may have a small support network, and experience isolation with this form of social anxiety.
Some individuals experience social anxiety with the use of telephones. This includes an intense fear about making and receiving telephone calls. This often steps from a deep-rooted concern about being judged, or misunderstood. This can have a direct impact on your day-to-day functioning, including career opportunities.

Treatment centers can use a wide range of therapies and counseling approaches to help those who are struggling with social phobia. The approach that your therapists use will be based on the symptoms you experience, and the level of disruption that they cause in your life. Examples of commonly used therapies include:
In some cases, therapists use more than one evidenced based approach in treatment. This could include cognitive-behavioral therapy for social anxiety with mindfulness or exposure approaches. Using more than one approach allows your treatment to address emotional, behavioral, and cognitive aspects together, often leading to comprehensive results.
Psychodynamic therapy sessions will focus on exploring your unconscious thoughts, and previous experiences that are contributing to your social anxiety symptoms. This approach can help you gain a better understanding of deep-rooted fears, and how they are contributing to current behaviors. This approach may be available in both outpatient and inpatient treatment centers.
Mindfulness for social anxiety can include the use of techniques that can help you gain present-moment awareness. This can help reduce your anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an example of one mindfulness-based therapy that can be used to manage social anxiety symptoms.
Yoga therapy is an example of a holistic approach that is commonly available in behavioral health centers. This approach combines particular physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation practices. Yoga therapy can help reduce stress, and strengthen your emotion regulation skills by increasing your self-awareness.
Art therapy is a creative treatment approach that uses activities like drawing and painting to help you express and process thoughts and emotions. This allows you to explore your internal experiences in a non-verbal way. This can be helpful for those who have a hard time putting words to their experiences and talking about their emotions.
Social anxiety disorder focused cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based approach that is commonly used to target negative thought patterns and behaviors. With an awareness of your negative thought patterns, you can work to challenge and reframe your fears or judgement. This allows you to use healthy coping skills, and decrease the intensity of your symptoms.
Exposure therapy for social anxiety can include a gradual exposure to feared social situations in a safe, controlled manner. This approach allows you to build your confidence about facing your triggers, and reduce your use of avoidance behaviors over time. This approach may be used in both inpatient and outpatient therapy clinics.
Social skills training is a common component of social anxiety treatment within a healthcare facility. This focuses on helping you learn invaluable interpersonal and social skills, such as initiating and continuing in conversation with someone new. This often includes role-playing exercises, and an opportunity to receive feedback about what can be done differently.
Life skills training can help you learn how to address everyday challenges that have been negatively impacted by your fear of social situations. This can include skills like time management and communication. Expanding your life skills can help improve your day-to-day functioning and help you live a balanced and fulfilling life.
EMDR social anxiety disorder therapy can be helpful for those whose anxiety symptoms are tied to, or the result of a traumatic event. EMDR focuses on reprocessing a single trauma at a time, allowing you to decrease the intensity of your emotional reaction to this trigger.
The cost of social anxiety treatment can vary among the different types of treatment. Individuals who receive care within an inpatient treatment center can expect to pay between $500 and $2,000 per day.
