Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Social anxiety goes far deeper than shyness — it is a persistent, exhausting fear of judgment, embarrassment, or saying the wrong thing that can quietly shrink your world over time. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and high-achieving professionals navigate social anxiety disorder, performance anxiety, fear of judgment, public speaking anxiety, and the social avoidance that keeps so many capable people from fully engaging in their personal and professional lives. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure-based techniques, and psychodynamic insight, I help clients build genuine confidence and meaningful connection. Telehealth therapy for social anxiety available across 40+ states.

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.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating social anxiety, from discomfort in specific professional situations like public speaking or networking to more pervasive difficulty feeling at ease around others. For some clients, this includes the particular experience of neurodivergence, not being sure whether you're following the rhythm of a conversation or reading social cues the way others expect. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a structured way to understand what's driving the anxiety and build practical tools and gradual exposure to manage it. Many of my clients are professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom social anxiety is compounded by code-switching or navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

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.
