A new approach to social anxiety, social phobia and shyness

Theatre professional and creativity coach Lesly Fredman and psychotherapist and development coach Murray Dabby, LCSW have teamed up to provide a new and innovative approach to helping people who suffer from social anxiety, phobia, some forms of OCD, difficulty speaking in front of groups, or ordinary forms of shyness and difficulties in social environments.

Based on their experiences in their respective work, as well as learning from the successful Second City approach in Chicago, the East Side Institute in New York and the Performing the World Conference, the combined use of improv and therapy can be a significant tool to help someone manage anxiety felt in social situations. This approach is growing across the country.
