Question 1

What conditions do you treat?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in treating a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. My services are tailored to address each client’s unique needs, incorporating both medication management and therapeutic techniques.

Question 2

What are Specific Outcome Sessions (S.O.S.), and how are they different from regular therapy?

Accepted Answer

S.O.S. sessions are designed to address a specific, pressing issue in a short amount of time, typically just 1-3 sessions. This is ideal for clients who have a particular challenge or decision they’d like to resolve quickly and are not seeking long-term therapy. S.O.S. sessions focus on providing clarity, relief, and a new perspective on issues like relationship conflicts, work stress, or recurring patterns.

Question 3

How does Heart Centered Hypnotherapy work?

Accepted Answer

Heart-Centered-Hypnotherapy® approaches therapy from a deeply caring and dynamically healing perspective that every client contains, deeply within their own subconscious mind, the key to their own individual health and healing.

In talk therapy or counseling sessions we have spent years communicating with the conscious mind of our abused, addicted, depressed and anxious clients. In speaking with the conscious mind of our clients, we can offer them behavioral solutions, insight, empathy and positive affirmations. We can try to help them understand their difficulties, but this method contains limitations and often does not produce long lasting changes in their emotions or behavior. It does not relieve their anxiety or depression and talking certainly is extremely limited in treating and eliminating addictive behavior.

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® excels because of the understanding that within the subconscious mind of each person is the deeply held key that unlocks the client’s individual inner guidance. This technique requires the clinician to sense and to feel exactly where the client needs to go to address the blockages which have kept them stuck in unhealthy patterns.
