Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Social anxiety can cause intense fear or discomfort in social situations, often leading to avoidance or self-consciousness. Individuals may worry about being judged, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated by others. Treatment focuses on building confidence, reducing anxiety symptoms, and developing coping strategies that support greater comfort in social interactions.

Adria Hagg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social Anxiety can feel debilitating due to perceived fears, heightened emotions, physical reactions and racing thoughts of self, others and situations. I believe in helping clients face those fears while challenging distorted thoughts and counter productive behaviors.

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.
