WHY CHOOSE HYPNOTHERAPY?

Simply, because hypnotherapy works! With Hypnosis you can access the subconscious mind where your past experiences (we like to call it your 'life script") are stored to discover the core issues causing the symptoms, such as; stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain, fears, phobias, sexual dysfunction, procrastination, weight gain or loss, and much more.


WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?

HYPNOSIS is a consensual state of heightened focused concentration combined with deep physical relaxation allowing access to the subconscious mind effecting positive change and improvement. In other words, you are mentally focused and aware of what is going on, and your body is deeply relaxed in a comfortable state of calm.
The power of hypnosis can create rapid change, more so than other traditional therapies, and help you achieve your self improvement goals.

 

WILL I LOSE CONTROL or CAN IT HARM ME?

Absolutely NOT! Hypnosis is completely safe! Before each hypnotherapy session, you and the therapist will cognitively go over your goals and desires for the session. Then the therapist will formulate the "client-specific suggestions" based on your discussion, given to you under the hypnotic state. More importantly, hypnosis can not make you do anything that goes against your morals or belief system or harm you in anyway.

 

WHAT IS YOUR SUCCESS RATE?

Majority of my clients who are “dedicated” to their healing process experience significant, positive changes. Some clients stop in the middle of the process because they are not ready. Some clients are not serious or do want to take responsibility for their changes. The clients who are open, receptive, and actively participate in the process always experience positive results. Effective therapy/coaching is contingent on the collaboration of the client and his/her willingness to persevere.

 

WHAT IF I CAN NOT BE HYPNOTISED?

 Everyone can be hypnotized. When most people think about hypnosis, they think about what is depicted in films and/or television where the person is completely unconscious and sometimes out of control. You are always in control during the sessions. Whenever you move from an outward perception to an inner awareness, you enter trance. It is a state of mindfulness that can happen when your eyes are open. There are array of techniques that induce trance.

 

ARE PHONE SESSIONS JUST AS EFFECTIVE?

Yes, phone sessions are just as effective as office visits. The sessions are conducted in the exact same manner as 'in-office' sessions. The only difference being, that I ask for simple verbal cues to let me know you are in trance and following my ques. Where in the office I would ask you to nod your head or raise a finger.

 

WHAT IF I DON'T WAKE UP?

Contrary to popular belief hypnosis is not a sleep state. It is a state of FOCUSED concentration where you are physically relaxed and mentally focused. Most clients remember a majority of what goes on during the hypnotic induction, and report a great sense of calm and comfort.


HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

Just as each person is unique, so is each presenting issue with the individual. Therefore there are no predetermined number of sessions. Each session is catered to the individual client, and conducted in a professional clinical environment with complete client confidentiality. Most situations can be corrected in as little as 4 to 6 sessions. 

 

WHAT IF YOUR SPIRITUAL BELIEFS ARE DIFFERENT, OR YOU ARE NOT SPIRITUAL AT ALL?

Our spiritual beliefs do not need to be parallel in order for you to experience positive results. I never impose my spiritual views on my clients. Most of the time our beliefs are more in alignment than we think. All people want to arrive to a place of healing and clarity. The process is about you healing and obtaining your goals.

 

ARE YOUR SERVICES COVERED BY INSURANCE?

At this time most all health insurance does not cover 'alternative' or non-traditional medical care.  However, The Directors Guild will cover smoking cessation. Please check with your individual providor.
