Overcome Fear and Reclaim Confidence — with Proven, Research-Backed Treatment

Phobias can make everyday situations feel impossible — whether it’s getting a shot, seeing a dog, or trying new foods. At Proven Relief Therapy, Dr. Alex Tice helps children, teens, and adults face and overcome their fears using structured, evidence-based therapy that leads to real results.

Therapy here is practical, goal-oriented, and focused on helping you regain control so your life isn’t ruled by fear or avoidance.

Understanding Phobias

A phobia is more than a fear — it’s an intense, often overwhelming response that can trigger panic, distress, or complete avoidance of certain people, objects, or situations.

Common phobias we treat include:

  • Needle phobia (trypanophobia) — fear of injections or medical procedures

  • Animal phobias — including fear of dogs, insects, or birds

  • Food-related phobias and AFRID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) — severe “picky eating” or avoidance of certain foods due to fear of choking, vomiting, or texture sensitivity

  • Situational phobias — fear of flying, driving, or being in crowds

Left untreated, phobias can grow stronger over time — but the good news is that they’re highly treatable with the right approach.
