Anxiety
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.

Anxiety
Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Anxiety often lives in the body first: a tight chest, racing thoughts, a constant sense that something is about to go wrong. Along with talking through what worries you, I use body-based tools from Somatic Experiencing to help your nervous system learn what safety feels like again. When anxiety is rooted in past experiences, EMDR can help reduce its intensity. For couples, we also look at how one partner's anxiety and the other's response can feed each other, and how to interrupt that cycle.
