Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have experience supporting clients in identifying where their social anxiety began and what limiting/self-defeating thoughts are linked to the challenges. From there, we will implement EMDR and/or IFS work to further explore and support the issues in order to help you live your life with more social freedoms.

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.
