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.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety and fear can interfere with our ability to live fully, connect with others, and pursue what matters most to us. My approach goes beyond simply reducing symptoms to explore the underlying experiences, relationships, and concerns that contribute to anxiety. I help clients better understand their fears, develop greater self-awareness, and discover more constructive ways of responding to uncertainty and life's challenges. Together, we work toward reducing distress while fostering greater freedom, confidence, authenticity, and a deeper sense of meaning in life. I also integrate somatic and solution-focused interventions as needed.
