FRIGHT NIGHT THERAPY
What is Fright Night?
“Fright Night” therapy is available to all of our current clients who wish to participate with others in order to practice exposure tasks.
Under the supervision of a skilled clinician, clients can come in for an evening session to “practice being afraid” with other clients.
Whether they have a public speaking phobia, contamination obsessions, health anxiety or agoraphobia, our clients can learn and practice the principles of successful exposure together in a supportive setting. For more details talk to your therapist.
Cost: $15/ client -- donated to a local mental health initiative including the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and Alberta OCD Foundation (AOCDF).
