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
Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Social anxiety can be very uncomfortable to live with and can lead to feeling isolated or depressed. In addition to avoiding social situations or being very anxious beforehand, people suffering from social anxiety often think the worst afterwards. They tend to judge themselves, second guess themselves or 'beat themselves up' recycling an interaction over and over in their thoughts. In therapy, I teach clients methods to relieve their anxious thoughts, feelings and body sensations. I also support them with do-able step by step actions which lead to solutions of their social anxiety and avoidance. I offer online and phone sessions which can be more comfortable than in person sessions for people with social anxiety, as you don't have to travel to sessions or sit in an office waiting room.
