North Shore Psychological Services uses exposure therapy to help clients manage problematic fears. When clients are fearful of a particular object, activity, or situation, they tend to experience feelings of anxiety and often resort to avoidance.  Systematically and gradually exposing one to these problematic fears or situations helps to promote a safe environment for the client.  Exposure therapy can help to reduce anxiety and stress clients feel. Long term, exposure therapy can improve the quality of our clients’ lives.
