The body and mind are really one system and research shows that the mindset of a patient can have a huge impact on the outcome of any medical treatment. More and more medical professionals are becoming aware of the tremendous benefits hypnotherapy can offer patients, including less need for supplementary medications, more patient comfort, and a feeling of empowerment and participation experienced by the patient. And very importantly, studies have shown that hypnotherapy can have a major positive impact on outcome and recovery time. SPEEDY RECOVERY POSITIVE FOCUS HEALING MINDSET Many people experience unnecessary fears, doubts, and stress regarding medical procedures. This can lead to a situation where "part" of you wants to do the procedure and knows it will be helpful while another "part" of you resists the process. This type of conflict can make the procedure more difficult and can slow your recovery. The negative feelings may be based on a past experience, something you heard, or even well intentioned but unhelpful statements made by healthcare professionals. Hypnosis will allow you to have a much easier procedure and a quicker recovery. Many studies have shown that hypnotherapy is an extremely effective enhancement for many medical treatments. We welcome the opportunity to work with your doctor to allow you to have the best possible outcome. The mindset of a patient can have a huge impact on the outcome of any medical treatment.

Clients who come for help with a specific issue like getting rid of a fear, changing a habit, preparing for an exam, etc. typically see me for 3-4 weekly hypnosis sessions and get a great result. Once clients experience the benefits of hypnotherapy, they may discover other areas where it could be helpful, so the door is always open for more hypnotherapy sessions if desired. Another way for us to work is ongoing coaching and hypnotherapy. This is common for sports, entrepreneurs, performing artists and general personal development. For this work we may spread our hypnotic sessions over a longer period of time and have an ongoing relationship. Each session will start with a brief discussion and then proceed into the hypnotherapy change work. We'll be making changes and addressing your concerns right from the start. About Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Hypnosis has a long and interesting history. Studies have shown it to be a safe and effective process that has many applications. Today it's being used in a wide variety of settings including medicine, sports, business, personal development, performing arts, psychology, sales and more. Hypnosis allows us to access aspects of our mental processes that run below our level of conscious awareness. Why is that important? Because many studies indicate that most of our emotional responses and primary behavior patterns are driven by unconscious processes. Along with unconscious protective responses we also have an amazing ability to instantly recognize and remember patterns in our environment and to learn complex behaviors and skills to the point they become automatic. Examples of automatic behaviors and skills include things like walking, driving, job skills and spoken language. Examples of automatic responses include things like "gut feelings", sense of direction, fears, panic, anxiety, excitement, attraction, and blushing. Once the behavior or response is encoded it may run automatically whenever the triggering pattern is recognized. Overall, this works really well for us. It puts many things on autopilot so we can go about our business. But sometimes error creeps into the system and we end up with unwanted responses and behaviors. Examples of this include things like phobias, bad habits, anxiety etc. How does that happen? Anytime we're feeling a strong emotion, or receive a shock we may associate whatever's in the environment with that feeling or take in whatever suggestion is offered, especially if it's given by an authority figure like a parent, doctor or teacher.. We can also receive unwanted "training" of our unconscious via ads, peer pressure, social media, movies, family members and parents. Unwanted automatic behaviors and responses can be hard to stop using conscious methods like willpower or by simply talking about it. But when we use hypnosis, we can get to the root of the problem and change things easily. Hypnotherapy allows us to guide and retrain your unconscious processes so they serve you better. So how exactly does hypnotic work accomplish that? By communicating with the unconscious using its natural mode of communication. Through emotions, physical sensations, symbols, powerful words and a sense of involuntary or automatic behavior. Our work will leverage these elements through a variety of exercises and techniques to get the results you want. Our work will also bring certain things into your conscious awareness that will really help you. This is where Cognitive Skill Building comes in. You'll learn mindset tools you can use in certain situations to get the results you want. Some of our work will be very interactive with a lot of conversation, while other techniques will be more like “classic” hypnosis. In certain cases I may ask you to bring your tennis racket, golf club or musical instrument to the session. We may even have a session at a golf course, auditorium, airport or other location where you've experienced a problem. When a set of sessions is completed, you'll enjoy the benefits of our work and also leave with a set of skills that will empower you far into the future. FAQs How many sessions will it take to get results? I typically see clients for 3-4 sessions, but there is no set number. Each case is unique, with a different set of variables. Is the information disclosed in the appointments confidential? Yes, absolutely. Your privacy will always be respected. Any reviews and testimonials shared have been done so with the permission of the clients who wanted to share their positive experiences to encourage others. Is hypnotherapy safe? Absolutely. Hypnotherapy is safe in-person as well as online. To dispel many myths at once, you will NOT have your mind controlled, get stuck in a trance, look silly or do stupid things, divulge any secrets you don’t wish to share. You WILL have access to a powerful modality that can help you resolve issues, achieve your goals and improve your life. Typically clients find the experience very enjoyable, relaxing and empowering. You can visit the Free Resources page on this website for links to various studies that document the benefits and widespread uses of hypnotherapy. Do you give any kind of guarantee? I can guarantee that you will receive the highest quality care and service, and the highest level of professionalism on my part. I will do my very best to get you the results you want. You will be treated with respect and benefit from the most effective techniques the field has to offer. Can I use my medical insurance to pay for sessions? No. Hypnotherapy is very rarely covered by medical insurance in the US. I expect this will change in the foreseeable future, but not for a while. Can you make me quit smoking? I don’t make people do things. I simply provide the opportunity and the means for my clients to make the changes they want to make. How do I book my first session? Please book a free evaluation before you book your first hypnotherapy session. The evaluation can be done by phone or via Zoom. This gives me an opportunity to answer all of your questions about hypnosis and hypnotherapy and to share some insights.
