Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
Many people experience social anxiety as a constant, 'hidden' soundtrack of self-criticism. I specialize in deconstructing the subconscious 'scripts' that tell you that you aren't enough or that judgment is inevitable. By integrating Dr.-level clinical insight with targeted trauma tools, we resolve the 'core negative beliefs' that fuel social avoidance and isolation. We don’t just manage your anxiety; we restore your inherent right to belong, helping you navigate everything from intimate gatherings to professional stages with genuine confidence.

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.

Social Anxiety
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or emotionally drained, you're not alone. Social anxiety is more than shyness—it can involve an intense fear of being judged, criticized, rejected, or embarrassed. You may avoid speaking up in meetings, meeting new people, attending social events, or expressing your thoughts because you're worried about saying or doing the "wrong" thing. Over time, this fear can impact your relationships, career, confidence, and overall quality of life.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help you understand and overcome social anxiety. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, beliefs, and past experiences that contribute to your anxiety while developing practical tools to reduce fear and build confidence in social situations. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, exposure-based strategies, and trauma-informed care, we'll work to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, reduce self-criticism, regulate physical symptoms of anxiety, and strengthen your ability to navigate social interactions with greater ease. If past experiences such as bullying, emotional abuse, rejection, or trauma have contributed to your anxiety, EMDR may also be incorporated to help process those experiences and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.
Our goal isn't to change who you are or make you more outgoing than you want to be. Instead, therapy helps you feel more comfortable being your authentic self, communicate with greater confidence, establish healthy relationships, and participate more fully in the experiences that matter most to you. You deserve to live without constantly worrying about what others think. With the right support, you can develop lasting confidence, reduce anxiety, and create meaningful connections while staying true to yourself.
