Phobias
Do you or your loved ones suffer from an intense fear of flying? Do you find it
difficult to give a speech in front of others and have anxiety about public speaking?
Does your intense fear of heights make it difficult for you to enjoy time with friends
and family? Alternatively, do you or your loved one have an intense fear of storms?
Does the thought of flying on an airplane for business, pleasure, or necessities create
intense anxiety or even take the form of a panic attack? Do you intently focus on
weather reports and avoid situations due to the potential of a “bad storm?” Or has
your avoidance of air travel caused you or your loved ones significant distress or
impairment? Fears of flying, public speaking, heights, and storms are very
common in the general population but effective treatment is available.
At KYCARDS, our clinicians are trained by internationally recognized experts in the
implementation of time-limited, CBT for any phobia. Phobia treatment ranges from
1 (extended session) to 10 sessions.
