Evidence-Based Anxiety Treatment
Performance Anxiety Therapy in Indianapolis
Performance anxiety can make work, school, athletics, public speaking, testing, or high-pressure situations feel overwhelming and emotionally exhausting. At Sommer Psychology Group, we provide evidence-based therapy for performance anxiety, helping clients reduce fear, overthinking, perfectionism, and self-doubt while building greater confidence and emotional resilience under pressure.
Performance anxiety involves intense fear or stress related to being evaluated, judged, or expected to perform under pressure. Individuals may experience anxiety related to presentations, public speaking, sports, academics, interviews, performing arts, workplace responsibilities, or other high-stakes situations.
Many people with performance anxiety experience racing thoughts, shaking, sweating, nausea, panic symptoms, fear of making mistakes, perfectionism, overpreparing, or excessive self-criticism. Over time, performance anxiety can interfere with confidence, achievement, opportunities, and the ability to fully engage in meaningful goals and activities.
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and skills-based interventions designed to help clients better understand anxiety patterns, reduce avoidance and fear-based behaviors, improve emotional regulation, and build greater confidence in performance situations.
Treatment focuses on helping clients tolerate discomfort, respond more flexibly to anxious thoughts, and perform more effectively without relying on avoidance or perfectionism.
We offer performance anxiety therapy in Indianapolis and secure online anxiety therapy across Indiana.
