If it helps you get over this, which might be a career boost in the long run, it would be worth it to try the therapist. Even a couple of sessions might give you some tips you could use that would help.

I will say that I do much better in front of a large group when I am confident in my topic I figured this out when I was asked to speak to a college class about a work topic that I was quite passionate about. I’d HATED public speaking before that, but found it was pretty easy when I had something to say that I thought was important. I’ve hung onto that lesson, and now am pretty much okay with talking in front of a group as long as I have time to prepare. Also, I do know people who have joined Toastmasters to work on their ability to speak in front of a group. You will find a sympathetic and supportive group in most Toastmaster settings if you want to give it a try.
