Social Anxiety
Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Social anxiety often involves more than shyness. It can include fear of judgment, self-consciousness, anticipatory worry, or feeling “on edge” in social or professional situations. Even when individuals understand that their fears may be exaggerated, the emotional response can feel automatic and difficult to control.
My approach to working with social anxiety is personalized and collaborative. Hypnosis helps address the subconscious patterns that influence how the mind and body respond in social settings. Rather than using scripted techniques, sessions are tailored to the individual’s goals and real-life situations, helping reduce anxiety, build confidence, and develop a greater sense of ease during interactions.
Clients commonly seek hypnosis for social anxiety related to public speaking, meetings, social gatherings, dating, or workplace interactions. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that allows clients to remain aware and in control while learning to respond more calmly and confidently.
This work is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, and I do not recommend changing prescribed medications without consulting a healthcare provider. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help clients feel more comfortable, present, and self-assured in social situations.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their social anxiety. I help them subsequently identify what is in their control as they anticipate being in those settings in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their fears associated with their anxiety in those settings.

Social Anxiety
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for treating social anxiety by helping individuals overcome the fear and discomfort associated with social situations. Through relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapists support clients in accessing subconscious beliefs that contribute to anxiety, enabling them to reframe negative self-perceptions and develop greater confidence. This approach may reduce physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat or sweating, and promote calmer, more adaptive responses in social settings. Integrated with other therapies, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to build self-assurance and engage more comfortably in social interactions.
