Welcome to P.H.O.B.I.A. Anxiety and Panic Support Group

Welcome to P.H.O.B.I.A.'s (People Helping Others Become Independent Again) Panic and Anxiety treatment page. We are a self-help support group that meets every wednesday evening from 7pm to 9pm at St. Stephen's church in Waretown NJ.


The first thing anyone suffering from panic/anxiety should do is get a complete physical check up and medical work up from their doctor to rule out any physical dosorder. Also avoid caffeine and sugar, caffeine is a stimulant and can increase anxiety, sugar can have the similar effect. Some people self medicate with alcohol and this can actually make anxiety worse.


Our group helps people who suffer from panic and anxiety to find support and compassion among fellow sufferers. We have been established in Ocean county, NJ since 1994.


On the various sections of this site, we have provided detailed descriptions of the various conditions and treatment methods for anxiety and panic disorder, depression, phobia, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).


You are not alone. Our support group can help you learn and use many coping techniques you can learn and use and provide you valuable information and support. Feel free to contact us for additional information.
