Hypnotherapy
Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
As a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist trained in the Ericksonian tradition, I use hypnosis as a focused, collaborative tool, not a stage trick. In a relaxed but fully aware state, we can quiet the inner critic, ease anxiety, interrupt stubborn habits, and reach strengths you already have but can't access under pressure. It's especially powerful for performance, fear, and confidence work. You stay in control the whole time; I just help you get out of your own way.

Hypnotherapy
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Hypnotherapy is a focused method that supports deeper contact with internal experience, including emotion, sensation, and imagery. My work integrates hypnosis within a psychoanalytic and relational framework to explore unconscious patterns and emotional meaning. Hypnosis is used as a supportive tool in service of insight, integration, and lasting change..

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.

Hypnotherapy
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Hypnosis is a valuable method that can be used as an adjunct to other therapies or as a free standing therapy. I am one of a relatively small group of therapists authorized to provide a specialized hypnotherapy protocol to treat irritable bowel syndrome, IBS. For many years, I used hypnosis in the treatment of smoking and other addictions. In my work with athletes, hypnosis is quite useful in improving performance. Hypnosis can also be helpful in managing sleep issues including insomnia.

Hypnotherapy
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.
