Social anxiety treatment in Barcelona with specialized psychologists

Speaking in public, meeting new people, sharing your opinion in a meeting, or simply leaving the house can become real challenges when you suffer from social anxiety. This type of anxiety goes beyond shyness: it involves an intense fear of judgment, of making mistakes, of “looking bad,” or of being the center of attention, even in everyday situations.

This discomfort can deeply affect your life:

• You avoid plans, meetings, or even work opportunities due to fear of social contact
• You constantly worry about what others think of you
• Your mind fills with self-criticism before, during, and after every interaction.
• You live with a high level of tension and self-awareness, as if you are “under the spotlight” all the time.
• In some cases, physical symptoms may appear, such as blushing, sweating, palpitations, or trembling.

At Proyecto Art, we have psychologists specialized in this type of anxiety who can help you understand its causes, how it is maintained, and, most importantly, how to start transforming it. Through effective therapeutic approaches, you will learn to manage fear, reduce discomfort, and reconnect with yourself and others with greater confidence.

This process is possible—and it can start today, with close, professional support at your own pace.

At Proyecto Art, we have a team of licensed psychologists specialized in the treatment of social anxiety. We understand that social anxiety is more than just being shy or reserved: it can deeply impact personal, work, and emotional life. That’s why we offer specialized, careful, and highly qualified care to help you overcome this type of anxiety safely and sustainably.

An experienced, trained, and sensitive clinical team

Our professionals:

• Are trained in specialized psychotherapy, with a focus on anxiety disorders, trauma, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.
• Have direct clinical experience supporting people with social anxiety, from mild cases to more debilitating forms.
• Participate in continuous clinical supervision and interdisciplinary meetings to provide ethical, up-to-date, and carefully tailored treatment.
• Invest in internal seminars, workshops, and advanced training to keep our therapists informed and inspired.

We know that one of the biggest fears in social anxiety is exposure—even in therapy. That’s why we pay special attention to pace, trust, and the therapeutic bond from the very first session. We don’t force processes, but we do guide you with clarity and support so you can move step by step toward a freer, more confident life.

At our clinic, we approach social anxiety with a structured, progressive, and evidence-based treatment, tailored to the pace and needs of each individual.

We do this from a relational and psychodynamic perspective, aiming not only to relieve symptoms but also to understand their origin and role in your personal history. We create a safe space to explore your social fears, self-criticism, inner judgment, and how these patterns have developed in past relationships.

Our goal is not to “correct” behaviors, but to help you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and your surroundings. This also involves working on self-image, self-esteem, and fear of judgment—but from a deep, respectful approach that is sustained over time.

What results can you expect?

Many people who have undergone this treatment with us report:

• A significant reduction in fear of judgment and rejection.
• Greater confidence when speaking in public, meeting new people, or expressing their opinions.
• Reduction of physical symptoms such as trembling, blushing, or mental “blocking.”
• More freedom to participate in social activities, interviews, dates, etc.
• A profound change in how they relate to themselves: more kindness, less self-criticism.

Social anxiety does not go away on its own over time. In fact, the more you avoid what triggers your fear, the more that discomfort is reinforced. That’s why receiving specialized psychological intervention is key to breaking the cycle of avoidance, insecurity, and distress.

A professional therapeutic process allows you to understand what causes and maintains your social anxiety. You will learn strategies to manage negative thoughts and physical symptoms, while also regaining your internal confidence and facing social situations without paralyzing fear.

At Proyecto Art, we offer in-person therapy at our clinic in central Barcelona as well as online therapy, so you can choose the option that best suits you. Both formats provide specialized social anxiety care that is flexible and tailored to your needs.
