Unfortunately, not locally. :-/

Tried to do it myself with some big black crickets (which fall into catch-and-release, but just barely because they can jump and are scary-looking) and got to the point where I could hold one in my bare hand without freaking out, but unfortunately that desensitization hasn't transferred to other insect species.

Maybe someday I'll live close enough to a phobia treatment center regularly enough to do a real course of desensitization, but for now, trying to make sure the insects that freak me out get as quick and humane a death as possible is probably the most practical solution.
