Mary W. Prentiss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting or overwhelming. I work with clients who experience fear of judgment, embarrassment, rejection, or making mistakes around other people, as well as those who avoid social situations because of anxiety.
Therapy focuses on understanding the anxiety cycle, developing coping skills, building confidence, and gradually becoming more comfortable doing the things that matter to you. My goal is to help you feel less controlled by fear and more confident in your relationships and everyday life.

Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If fear of judgment, harsh overthinking, or performance anxiety keeps you feeling isolated or on edge around others, you don't have to navigate it alone. I offer a quiet, judgment-free space to help you soothe an overactive nervous system, soften self-criticism, and step into social spaces with ease, comfort, and self-compassion.

Hypnotherapy is an effective treatment for social anxiety by helping to reduce anxiety symptoms, reframe negative thought patterns, and build confidence. It replaces negative thought patterns with positive ones.Physical Symptom Management: Hypnosis reduces physical symptoms like blushing, sweating, and trembling.
Social anxiety is not insurmountable. My clients with this disorder are recovering and living a happy life, meeting with new and old friends. I use Dicit hypnotherapy. All my patients are now more social and sociable than ever. So should you.
