Social Anxiety
Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, but hypnosis offers a powerful way to find calm and confidence from within. Through hypnotherapy, we quiet the inner critic, ease anxious thoughts, and strengthen your sense of comfort and authenticity around others. Each session helps reprogram the subconscious mind to support self-trust and genuine connection. I offer virtual hypnosis sessions to help you feel more at ease, confident, and free to be yourself.

Social Anxiety
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Social anxiety often involves more than fear of other people. It can create a painful sense of being watched from the outside, as though every interaction requires careful management of how you appear. Over time, this can make relationships feel more like performances than places of genuine contact. Our work can help you understand where that imagined gaze came from and why it carries so much authority, making it easier to be with others without constantly leaving yourself to wonder how you are being seen.
