Dr. D’Arienzo on Discovery’s Shark Week
Dr. D’Arienzo was featured on Discovery Channel’s Shark Week (broadcast July 31, 2026), demonstrating how evidence-based psychological treatment can rapidly eliminate Galeophobia—an extreme, debilitating fear of sharks. Filmed over three intensive days on location in Marathon Key and Islamorada, Dr. D’Arienzo worked directly with a patient to conquer his phobia using two primary clinical interventions: systematic desensitization and prolonged exposure.
