Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety is not shyness. It is the experience of being watched by a judge who lives inside your own head — a judge who arrived long before you ever chose to listen to it. Every room becomes a performance. Every interaction is graded. The exhaustion is not from other people. It is from the constant labor of self-surveillance. Therapy works not by teaching you to ignore the judge but by understanding whose voice it actually is, and why it was installed in the first place.

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.

Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, exhausting, or even impossible. I work with adults who feel anxious in social situations, worry about being judged, or avoid activities they used to enjoy. Using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness-informed strategies, I help clients build confidence, reduce avoidance, and engage more fully in their lives. If social anxiety is keeping you from feeling connected or comfortable, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
At the heart of social anxiety is self esteem and uncertainty with your true self and letting that part of you interact with others without fear of not being good enough or not fitting in.
Social anxiety these days also has new meaning with the pandemic - comfort level, safety, and returning to social gatherings after an almost year of living without them.
