Break Free from the Fears That Hold You Back
Living in a dynamic city like Dubai can sometimes intensify personal fears—whether it’s public speaking, flying, or social situations. While occasional nervousness is normal, intense phobias can disrupt daily life, limit your experiences, and create unnecessary stress.
At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center, we help you understand and overcome these fears through evidence-based therapy designed to build confidence and reduce avoidance.
What Are Phobias?
Phobias are intense, irrational fears of specific objects, situations, or experiences. Some of the most common include:
- Social phobia – fear of being judged or embarrassed in social settings
- Public speaking phobia – extreme anxiety when speaking in front of others
- Specific phobias – fear of heights, flying, needles, animals, elevators, etc.
- Agoraphobia – fear of crowded places or leaving familiar environments
You may experience physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, or nausea—even at the thought of facing the feared situation.
Our Approach to Fear-Based Therapy
We use cognitive and behavioral approaches, including relaxation strategies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDRto:
- Understand the root cause of your phobia
- Gradually desensitize you to the feared object or situation
- Help you build emotional regulation and stress tolerance
- Boost your self-confidence and sense of control
Our safe and structured methods allow you to face your fears at your own pace—without judgment.
