What is clinical hypnosis?
Clinical hypnosis, or clinical hypnotherapy, is a proven therapeutic approach that leverages a state of deep relaxation and focused attention to help you access your subconscious mind.
Clinical hypnosis is always guided by a licensed and trained professional who helps you achieve this state of relaxation with verbal cues, repetition, and imagery.
Hypnosis is a natural state of heightened awareness where more intense inner concentration is possible, thus making it easier to explore and address psychological issues and challenges you’re struggling with.

What can you expect from clinical hypnosis?
Our clients describe hypnosis as a calming, pleasant, and immersive experience. Contrary to popular myths, clinical hypnosis does not make you do or say things against your will. Rather, it allows you to bypass everyday distractions and engage directly with the subconscious mind where your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions are rooted.
A trained clinical hypnotherapist will help you replace negative patterns and behaviors with healthier alternatives, leading to long-lasting improvement in your well-being.
Apart from supporting your healing from mental health issues, clinical hypnosis can help you overcome barriers that your mind has created that make it difficult for you to reach your goals or achieve full mental well-being.
What does a clinical hypnosis session look like?
A typical clinical hypnotherapy session begins with a conversation so that your therapist can understand your goals and establish trust. The hypnotherapist then guides you into a relaxed state using verbal cues, repetition, and imagery.
During hypnosis, you remain aware of your surroundings and fully in control. The goal is not to deprive you of the control of your mind or body but rather to allow you to relax and focus on a deeper level.
The number of sessions varies based on your unique needs, but many people experience noticeable changes after just a few sessions. Each session is typically 60 to 90 minutes long.
