Ilah Brock - Central Valley Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht
Is your situation one that keeps you from social gatherings? Even if you desire to attend yet, you just can't seem to get passed actually "GOING" - or just being in public, creating conversation with people known or unknown. And after over a year of many people being in isolation - this can be a difficult situation to over come. It is not impossible. It is VERY possible for you to achieve this self directed - goal ....
Some conditions may warrant a medical or menthal health awareness referral.

Yael Sherne, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Living with social anxiety is so hard and can be incredibly lonely - the constant worrying, overthinking, and questioning. Being unable to turn your brain off, and feeling uncomfortable in your body. Constantly questioning your latest encounters with others. It can impact your sleep, your relationships, your work and your sense of self. I understand the challenges and complexities of social anxiety, and how to address them. Together we will work to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, and uncover what lies underneath it in order to create real, lasting change and allow you to form safe and authentic relationships with others.

Cait Glenn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The dread and anxiety bubble up anytime you think about having to interact in certain situations or with certain individuals. You can feel it in your chest and belly and all you want to do is retreat to where you feel safe and at peace. Feeling anxiety in social settings can be so challenging. You are not alone. I can help you begin to feel more calm and connection and most importantly help you be your authentic self in anxiety provoking situations.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Social Anxiety is a frequent presenting concern for clients. Often this results in and is perpetuated by avoidance of social situations, and quite frequently is accompanies by uncomfortable physiologic reactions in social situations experienced as threatening. Usually it is the avoidance of the threatening situations that prevent the person from becoming desensitized. On a very simple level, supporting my clients in developing effective ways to calm themselves such as through relaxation training, meditation, or even clinical hypnosis then can be used to help them be able to tolerate gradually increasing their exposure to the threatening situations. If desired, I can support clients in applying a behavioral approach to social anxiety using techniques such as systematic desensitization. Frequently too do I augment this with clinical hypnosis in preparing clients for successfully expanding their social activity. In other cases, working with the beliefs and expectations they have can be helpful using cognitive therapy, either formally or in a more conversational approach. A guiding principal I apply is to empower the client to be actively involved in planning the approach and to continually emphasize the choices they are making rather than have them experience themselves as passively participating in a treatment.
