Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
I use hypnosis as part of the larger psychotherapy process or as a brief, stand-alone intervention where appropriate.
Our logical thinking is only part of what influences how we move through our lives. But we know logic alone isn't enough to begin doing all the things we "know" we should be doing such as: saving money, prioritizing sleep, speaking truthfully, leaving that relationship, trusting we're safe on elevators, etc. It's not a lack of knowledge or how-to that keeps us stuck. It's the deeper emotional layer, the part that doesn't necessarily listen to logic, that can keep change elusive.
Hypnosis aims to soften the stubbornness of that deeper layer by opening it up to safety, possibility, and alignment with who you want to become. It recognizes that the mind and body are indistinguishable from each other, and leverages the unconscious mind to create real, tangible change in the conscious mind and behavioral choices.
Through hypnosis, I will help you overcome barriers that keep you stuck and alleviate anxieties so that you may move about more freely and powerfully in your life.

Dyani Saxby
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP, DBSM
Clinical hypnosis differs from stage hypnosis in that clinical hypnosis focuses only on helping you achieve your personal goals. In clinical hypnosis, I induce a trance state, which is similar to a deep state of relaxation. You are completely in control and can stop the session at any time. Most people find it to be very relaxing although on rare occasions people can have negative thoughts, images, or feelings that are usually fleeting. During hypnosis I made suggestions that are very specific for your goals. The most frequent issues I incorporate hypnosis into sessions for include: stress, sleep problems, chronic pain, increasing motivation or energy, decreasing fatigue, smoking cessation, and healthy eating.

Rosa Martins - Rosa Martins Therapy
Life Coach, Systemic Therapist, Family Constellation Practitioner
While I don't practice clinical hypnotherapy, my work accesses similar territory through different pathways. Family constellation work, therapeutic tarot, and energetic reading all engage the deeper layers of the psyche — the patterns, beliefs, and memories that live below conscious awareness. For clients seeking to shift what they haven't been able to change through talk alone, this integrative approach offers a gentle but effective way to reach what rational conversation often can't.

Chicago's size and diversity mean therapists here cover an exceptionally wide range of specialties, with strong representation in trauma, anxiety, depression, and cultural identity work across the city's distinct neighborhoods. The South and West Sides experience community-level trauma tied to violence and systemic inequity, driving particular demand for therapists who specialize in PTSD, grief, and resilience-focused work. The city is home to Rush University Medical Center, Northwestern Medicine, and the University of Chicago Medicine, with a large independent practice community concentrated in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, and the Loop. Chicago also has robust bilingual therapy communities serving its large Spanish-speaking, Polish, and Mandarin-speaking populations.
