What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a focused state of awareness—similar to deep meditation—where your mind becomes more receptive to therapeutic suggestions. You remain in control at all times. Hypnosis is not mind control, but a collaborative and empowering process.

When facilitated by a licensed psychotherapist, hypnosis helps you move past mental blocks, reframe subconscious beliefs, and activate your body’s natural capacity for healing and change.

What Can Hypnosis Help With?

Clinical hypnosis is one modality that may be incorporated into psychotherapy when clinically appropriate. Suitability is assessed individually, and experiences and outcomes vary. Areas it may be used to explore include:

🧠 Anxiety & Stress Reduction
🚭 Quitting Smoking & Habit Change
🍽 Emotional Eating & Weight Management
😴 Insomnia & Sleep Disorders
💔 Self-Sabotage in Relationships
💬 Low Confidence & Self-Worth
🩺 Psychosomatic Symptoms & Chronic Pain
🧒 Inner Child Healing & Developmental Trauma
🌪 Phobias, Fears, and Panic Disorders

What the Research Says

message icon

Hypnosis is scientifically supported as a complementary treatment:

•  A 2016 meta-analysis examined the research on hypnosis for anxiety and stress-related disorders.
(Valentine, A., Milling, L. S., et al., Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 2016)

• Clinical trials have examined hypnosis for pain management, including conditions like IBS and fibromyalgia.
(Elkins, G. R., Jensen, M. P., & Patterson, D. R., American Psychologist, 2007)

• Hypnosis has been studied alongside psychotherapy for smoking cessation and weight management.
(Kirsch, I., Montgomery, G., & Sapirstein, G., Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1995)
 
All hypnosis services at our clinic follow evidence-based guidelines and are offered by a Registered Psychotherapist trained in trauma-informed care.

Is Hypnosis Right for Me?

Hypnosis works best when you’re open to exploring your inner world. You don’t need to be “easily hypnotized.” If you’ve felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like your logical mind alone hasn’t been enough—hypnosis may be an option worth exploring.

We offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you determine if hypnosis therapy is a good fit.
