Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
The many successes achieved by my clients continue to fulfill my professional life. Be it as a hypnotist, hypnotherapist, or educator, I have witnessed those with whom I have worked accomplish so much because of their hard work, made easier through hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and their use of self-hypnosis. As I always tell my clients: "Your successes are 95% your doing. I have simply been your guide, in bringing out your potential." At the same time, I teach clients self-hypnosis so that they are able to self-manage challenges that may arise moving forward. Increasing confidence and motivation at a subconscious level, has propelled them toward achieving their goals and objectives far sooner than would otherwise be the case. I feel privileged to have joined so many individuals during a formative part of their journey. I encourage you to engage thoughtful evaluation when choosing a hypnotherapist. It is important to weigh each professional’s education, training, diversified experience, and competence as communicated by professionals in the same or related fields. In these regards, kindly visit my website at www.HypnosisMotivation.com. There you will learn what both clients and professionals have written about my service delivery. Their testimonials address my performance in private practice; the work I have done educating and training psychologists and marriage and family therapists throughout California; an overview of my work as a Senior Clinical Instructor in a medical center's pain clinic; and my service delivery as an adjunct professor, teaching hypnosis / hypnotherapy subject matter classes for the Department of Educational Psychology at California State Northridge. Beyond the foregoing the deciding factor in your choice of a hypnotherapist should be your own compatibility assessment with that individual, following a consultation about your expectations, goals, and objectives. I welcome you to have a consultation with me, at no charge, in these regards. You can phone me at (805) 358-1011 or email me at Stuart@HypnosisMotivation.com. Be well, Stuart
