Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We look under the hood to find the culprit behind social anxiety then customize your hypnotic programming to rewire your brain in more desirable ways, so your thinking and behaviors are aligned with your new intention. We can also use breathwork, tapping, EMT, regression, IFS, NLP, and other frameworks to get you there. Often we will regress to the root cause memory behind the social anxiety and give the inner child a chance to release emotions and words that have been depleting you of life force energy. With this, we process and reframe the underlying emotions and beliefs to the new way of being. This involves a nervous system reset, and tools you'll gain include quick practices you can do when triggered or before important social events that regulate your emotions and program in a sense of overall calmness and peace. Overall, we retun you to safety at all times and show your nervous system, limbic brain, and endocrine system that you are not in danger.

I incorporate CBT often to help individuals with social anxiety as learning to understand the root of how our thinking impacts our avoidance behaviors and fear of interacting socially is a very useful tool.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt your heart race—wondering what people are thinking about you, or wishing you could disappear before anyone notices? Social anxiety can make even simple moments—talking in class, attending church, meeting new people—feel like survival. Over time, the worry turns into withdrawal, and loneliness begins to take root.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand how exhausting it is to overthink every word and every glance. Our Christian counselors help you quiet the noise of self-criticism, retrain your body’s stress response, and build confidence that lasts beyond the next conversation.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use faith-integrated, evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic grounding, and exposure techniques—combined with biblical truth and compassionate guidance to help you:
• Calm the physical symptoms of anxiety in social settings
• Overcome fear of judgment and rejection
• Strengthen communication and self-expression
• Build authentic connections and trust
• Restore peace through a renewed sense of identity in Christ
You don’t have to live trapped inside your own thoughts. With practical tools, gentle exposure, and spiritual grounding, you can learn to walk into any room with calm confidence—rooted not in others’ approval, but in God’s love for you.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living freely, Rising Calm Center is here to help you find your voice and your peace again.

Julie Cochrane - Clinical Hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist, CCP
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Social anxiety is the body responding to social situations as if they were genuinely dangerous. It is not shyness and it is not a character flaw. It is a subconscious pattern, usually formed early, that learned to brace and self-monitor in the presence of other people. RTT works directly with the moment that pattern was formed and updates it. Once the threat signal quietens, social situations stop feeling like a performance and start feeling like, well, situations. I work with adults who have tried talking therapy and exposure work and want something that addresses the underlying wiring rather than just managing the surface symptoms.

Subconscious Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful or overwhelming. Hypnotherapy helps reduce fear and self-consciousness, allowing you to feel more at ease in social situations. Sessions support increased confidence, comfort, and the ability to engage with others more freely and authentically.
