Dr. Daisy Vélez
Psychologist, PsyD, DipACLM, PMH-C
Medical hypnotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based approach that taps into the mind’s natural ability to influence the body. I use clinical hypnosis to help reduce the intensity of chronic pain, calm the gut in conditions like IBS, and ease symptoms related to anxiety, fatigue, and other medical concerns. Sessions are gentle, collaborative, and tailored to your needs—offering both relief and a greater sense of control over your body and health.

Clinical hypnosis, rather than something mysterious, is simply a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. It’s a type of mind-body medicine. In the state you may make deep changes to your unconscious to all you to make powerful changes in either new life behaviors or in stopping old negative behaviors in your life.
A trained and certified clinical hypnotist guides you into this deep state of focus and relaxation with verbal cues, repetition, and imagery. When you’re under hypnosis, this intense level of concentration and focus allows you to ignore ordinary distractions and be more open to guided suggestions to make changes to improve your health.
Clinical hypnosis-you are completely present and aware of what is happening, it uses a deep state of relaxation to create quicker changes. Through hypnosis, you are able to tap into the part of your brain where your thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, sensations, emotions, memory, and behaviors originate.
In this state, you’re more open to rewiring and creating new pathways through making lasting shifts unconscious neurology.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I should do… so why do I keep doing the same thing?” you’re not alone. Many people find themselves stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change—whether it’s anxiety, habits, confidence issues, fears, or emotional reactions that feel automatic. Even with insight and effort, it can feel like something deeper is getting in the way.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to work directly with those deeper patterns. I use clinical hypnosis to help you access a focused, relaxed state where your mind becomes more receptive to positive change. Combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), NLP, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this approach allows us to not only understand the problem, but to actively rewire the thoughts, emotional responses, and habits that maintain it. This is not about losing control—it’s about gaining greater control over how you think, feel, and respond.
What’s often missing in traditional approaches is access to the part of the mind where these automatic patterns are stored. You may already know what needs to change, but insight alone doesn’t always create lasting results. Without engaging the deeper, unconscious processes, those patterns tend to persist.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to move beyond just understanding the problem and begin changing it. If you’re open to this approach, hypnotherapy can help you create meaningful, lasting change more efficiently—so you can feel more in control, more confident, and more aligned with the life you want.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
In my practice, I integrate Ericksonian hypnosis. This method is more than just suggestion in a trance state; it's a client-centered approach that emphasizes the mobilization of individual resources and abilities. My training in Ericksonian hypnosis equips me to work with a variety of concerns, seamlessly incorporating this technique into different treatment modalities. In each session, I focus on bringing your innate strengths and capabilities to the forefront, ensuring they are accessible and potent in times of need. This process is highly collaborative, valuing your active participation as we navigate the therapeutic journey together. Through hypnotherapy, we aim to unlock your potential, fostering resilience and self-efficacy in facing life's challenges.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
