Some issues will required a medical referral please call to discuss. Hypnosis for addictions is an effective therapeutic approach that helps individuals overcome various substance dependencies, such as alcohol, smoking, and drugs. By tapping into the subconscious mind, hypnosis can uncover the root causes of addictive behaviors and promote positive change. This technique enhances self-control, reduces cravings, and fosters healthier coping mechanisms. Many people report significant improvements after just a few sessions, making hypnosis a valuable tool in addiction recovery. Call Mindy Ash Hypnosis Centers to explore how hypnosis can empower you on your journey to a healthier, addiction-free life today.
The dictionary defines addiction as becoming dependent on something and then continuing to increase the amount of substance so that we can feel the same effect. If that is the case then why do people generally stick with the same daily amount of substance for years? Perhaps, because many things that we refer to as addictions such as shopping, chocolate, smoking, 3 glasses of wine a night are really just habits? The behavior starts of slowly and then through repetition it turns into a powerful habit. Habits are in the subconscious mind. The behavior starts off as a benefit, perhaps to help us feel better, but then it turns into a bad or healthy behavior. Behaviors are in our subconscious mind and hypnosis communicates with the subconscious mind. Consciously we may not know why we do what we do but, the subconscious knows. When we use our willpower to change that habit it can feel as if we have a fight going on in our head. With hypnosis we make your mind more congruent, hence the fight goes away easily let go of negative behaviors. Many clients experience success in just a few short sessions.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Maybe you are working the 12-steps but keep relapsing. Or you find that meetings are not keeping you clean and sober. You know that something deep is driving you to drink or drug and you just can’t stop it. Your life has grown unmanageable, and you no longer have control over the decision to take a drink or do drugs though you desperately want to stop. You know that you need something more if you are ever going to have a clean and sober life.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, we work together to understand the underlying patterns and trauma that lead you to drinking and drugging. I help you understand and heal what is underneath this destructive behavior. We tap into your own inner wisdom and intuition as a resource for healing and charting a clean and sober path forward for a more fulfilling and productive life.
Contact me to schedule a complimentary 15-minute information session to learn more about Depth Hypnosis counseling sessions and how we can get traction in your sobriety.

Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in working with adults experiencing substance use and addictive behaviors, with a particular focus on the complex interplay between psychological and physical health. Using a biopsychosocial and evidence-based approach, I help patients understand how substance use interacts with stress, mood, sleep, pain, medical conditions, and other aspects of health, while developing practical strategies for behavior change and long-term recovery. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental, recognizing addiction as a complex health condition and supporting patients in building sustainable changes that promote both psychological well-being and overall health.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals struggling with addiction, substance abuse, compulsive behaviors, internet addiction, and gaming addiction. He works with clients seeking deeper healing from the emotional pain, trauma, stress, and unhealthy patterns that often contribute to addictive behaviors and difficulty breaking destructive cycles. His goal is to help clients restore emotional balance, improve functioning, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful and lasting change.
Many individuals struggling with addiction feel stuck in patterns of shame, isolation, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or self-destructive coping behaviors. Addiction is often connected to unresolved trauma, difficult life experiences, emotional pain, attachment wounds, or chronic stress. This is one reason why simply being told to “stop” is rarely effective. Lasting recovery requires understanding and healing the underlying issues driving the behavior.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to addiction counseling, recognizing that healing involves the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and sense of purpose. Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s individual needs, goals, and experiences. Clients are provided with a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can openly explore past trauma, triggers, unhealthy coping patterns, emotional struggles, and the deeper causes of addiction.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support recovery and long-term healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients process unresolved trauma, reduce compulsive behaviors, build self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier coping skills and relationships.
Brad believes recovery is about more than simply stopping a behavior or substance use. The goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, restore hope and self-worth, improve emotional well-being, and create a healthier and more fulfilling life without relying on substances or addictive behaviors to cope or feel better about themselves.
Healing and recovery are possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond addiction, regain control of their lives, strengthen relationships, and redefine who they are today.
Virtual counseling and online trauma-focused therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to professional addiction and trauma therapy from the comfort of home.
