It's Complicated

Find a therapist that can help with Social anxiety

Social anxiety is a mental health condition that causes intense fear and anxiety in social situations. It can lead to avoiding social situations, affecting a person's quality of life. Therapy can help with social anxiety through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that challenges negative thoughts and beliefs. Relaxation techniques, exposure therapy, and communication skills training can help individuals manage their anxiety and build confidence. With the support of a therapist, people can overcome their social anxiety and lead a more fulfilling social life.

About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 23,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.
