At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that acrophobia can significantly restrict your life despite knowing your fear is excessive or irrational. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that specific phobias like fear of heights often have roots in earlier frightening experiences, evolutionary safety mechanisms, or learned responses—even those that might not be consciously remembered.
Exposure to heights causes immediate panic or extreme avoidance.
You can encounter heights with manageable anxiety and appropriate caution.
Your life is restricted by elaborate avoidance of height situations.
You make choices based on preferences rather than fear avoidance.
Physical symptoms like dizziness or racing heart overwhelm you in height situations.
You manage physical sensations with effective coping techniques.
Anticipatory anxiety occurs even when thinking about potential height exposure.
You can plan activities involving heights without excessive worry.
You feel abnormal or weak for having this seemingly irrational fear.
You understand the mechanisms of phobia and approach your experience with compassion.
We understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming. We’re here to make this decision easier for you.
Starting therapy can bring up mixed feelings—part of you might be eager, while another part hesitates to confront deeply buried emotions. You might doubt whether therapy can help, especially if you’ve struggled for a long time or had disappointing experiences with untrained therapists or life coaches. At Evergreen Counseling, our trauma-trained therapists are deeply committed to providing expert care.
