GET YOUR FEAR SCORE NOWRobert Summa is the only certified public speaking phobia specialist practicing in the United States. He has worked one-on-one with more than 750 executives, founders, attorneys, and senior professionals, and achieved a 99.6 percent success rate permanently eliminating public speaking phobia. Before building Public Speaking Cure, Robert had the phobia himself for 18 years. He knows exactly what it costs.
For nearly two decades, Robert experienced every dimension of the condition his clients now come to him to eliminate. The anticipatory dread in the weeks and days before a speaking situation. The amygdala hijack mid-presentation. The voice that shook when it was not supposed to. The inner critic that spent hours after every presentation recounting every visible moment of anxiety. He tried the same things most of his clients have tried. None of it worked, because none of it went after the right target.
From Phobia to Specialist
Robert eventually found what actually worked: cognitive behavioral therapy and specialized phobia reconditioning targeting the amygdala directly. When he eliminated the phobia, his career changed immediately. He could communicate his vision, lead through high-stakes conversations, and show up in every speaking situation with the composure and authority that had been blocked before. He then pursued clinical certification specifically in public speaking phobia treatment, becoming the only specialist with this specific focus practicing in the United States.
The Only Certified Specialist in the United States
There are many coaches who work with people who fear public speaking. There are therapists and psychologists who treat phobias generally. Robert Summa is the only practitioner in the United States who holds certification specifically focused on public speaking phobia and dedicates his entire practice to eliminating it. This matters because public speaking phobia is a specific condition. It requires a specific treatment. A generalist approach, whether coaching or general therapy, does not reach the amygdala's conditioned threat response the way a focused clinical program does.
The Methodology
Robert's program uses cognitive behavioral therapy and specialized phobia reconditioning delivered one-on-one over Zoom. It requires only minutes per day and produces permanent results in 3 to 4 weeks. The program does not treat symptoms, does not teach coping strategies, and does not require ongoing management. When the phobia is gone, it does not come back. In five years of practice, Robert has never had a single client relapse.
What Clients Experience After the Program
Clients describe the outcome in strikingly similar terms. The dread before a presentation stops. The amygdala hijack no longer occurs. They walk into speaking situations with the same composure they bring to every other professional context. For many, the change extends beyond presentations into how they experience their careers and personal lives overall. The phobia was consuming more than just the moments of speaking. Eliminating it returns time, attention, and peace of mind that had been quietly drained for years.
The program is HSA and FSA eligible. Sessions take place entirely over Zoom, one-on-one with Robert. The program has served executives and professionals from companies including Microsoft, Oracle, ABC News, the NFL, PGA, and Google, as well as hundreds of individual professionals across industries. 750-plus clients. 99.6 percent success rate. Permanent results.
