Social Anxiety
Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Anxiety isn’t just “worry.” It’s the mind working overtime to protect you — often in ways that leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Social anxiety, in particular, can make even simple interactions feel loaded with risk, self-doubt, or shame. You might find yourself rehearsing conversations before they happen, overanalyzing them after, or avoiding them altogether.
In our work together, we look beneath the symptoms. Instead of just learning how to manage your anxiety, we explore what it’s trying to protect you from — and why it learned to speak so loudly. I help clients slow down their inner experience, tune into the body, and begin to relate to anxiety with curiosity rather than fear.
Together, we’ll build new internal pathways rooted in safety, self-compassion, and presence. You don’t have to be “fearless” to live a full, connected life. You just have to stop fighting yourself.

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.

Dorothy Brown

Social anxiety often results in avoidance of many activities. In these cases, fear is running the show. I work to unpack the fear of rejection and encourage people to slowly go out of their comfort zone.
