Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Many people experience anxiety or fears that don’t respond well to logic, reassurance, or willpower alone. These reactions are often driven by subconscious patterns that were learned over time and continue automatically, even when they are no longer helpful. Hypnosis provides a practical way to work with those patterns at their source.
My approach to hypnosis for anxiety and fears is personalized and collaborative. Drawing on decades of healthcare experience, I tailor each session to the individual rather than using scripted techniques. Together, we focus on calming the nervous system, reducing anticipatory worry, and helping the mind develop new, more adaptive responses to stressors and triggers.
Clients often seek hypnosis for generalized anxiety, situational anxiety, phobias, health-related fears, and performance-related fears. Hypnosis can be especially helpful when anxiety persists despite understanding its irrational nature. Sessions are conducted in a calm, supportive environment where clients remain aware and in control throughout the process.
Hypnosis is offered as a drug-free, complementary approach and is not a replacement for medical or mental health care. When appropriate, it can work alongside other professional treatment to help restore a greater sense of calm, confidence, and emotional balance.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with anxiety and fear through a trauma-informed, body-aware approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than treating anxiety as something to eliminate, we explore it as a meaningful signal shaped by past experiences, nervous system patterns, and unmet emotional needs. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, hypervigilant, or stuck in cycles of worry or self-doubt. Together, we build awareness, regulation, and understanding, helping clients relate to anxiety with compassion and develop greater safety, clarity, and trust in themselves.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Whether is social anxiety, climate or eco-anxiety, attachment anxiety, or another form, I hear you. We are in unprecedented times of both social pressure and information overload. I live with intergenerational anxiety, and I share techniques to honor its wariness and have a calmer and more fun life. They can include guided imagery, breathing techniques, earth grounding, and more. But you may have heard about these before. The trick isn't knowing about them, it's finding a connection to what actually works for you when you need it- and that is what we discover.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Anxiety is an identity pattern, not a life sentence. Most anxiety treatment teaches you to manage the feeling I work to eliminate the subconscious trigger generating it. Through clinical hypnotherapy and Identity 2.0 reprogramming, we locate the root belief structure driving the anxiety response and replace it. Dallas-area and virtual sessions available.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
Addicts are often scared of giving up the only thing that seems to be getting them through their lives - and the families are anxious and fearful that something terrible will happen to the addict they love. This kind of life is full of fear and anxiety - and this can change for everyone.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
"Worry," "nervousness," "fear," "bad nerves," "stress"? Anxiety can mean many things to many different people. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation that seemingly come randomly and without clear explanations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.
