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 many times has its roots in negative early childhood experiences that create negative beliefs like: I'm a failure, being vulnerable gets me hurt, I'm not good enough. As an Internal Family Systems therapist I can help you discover the root causes of your Social Anxiety and resolve them.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for treating social anxiety by helping individuals overcome the fear and discomfort associated with social situations. Through relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapists support clients in accessing subconscious beliefs that contribute to anxiety, enabling them to reframe negative self-perceptions and develop greater confidence. This approach may reduce physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat or sweating, and promote calmer, more adaptive responses in social settings. Integrated with other therapies, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to build self-assurance and engage more comfortably in social interactions.

Cedar Rapids is Iowa's second-largest city and a significant manufacturing and technology hub, home to major employers in aerospace (Collins Aerospace), food processing, and financial services, and its mental health landscape reflects the pressures of an industrial economy alongside the resilience of a Midwestern community that has demonstrated significant strength in the face of adversity—including the 2008 Cedar River flood that devastated parts of the city. Mercy Medical Center and UnityPoint Health both provide behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves those seeking outpatient counseling. The city's Czech and Slovak heritage is still visible in its culture, and community identity and civic pride are important protective factors for mental health even as the city navigates the transition from its traditional manufacturing base. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship stress, and the economic uncertainty that comes with working in industries subject to rapid technological change.
