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.

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.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to hypnotherapy is founded on my extensive training and certification through the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). I have a proven track record of utilizing hypnosis to facilitate positive transformations in various aspects of individuals' lives. I have recorded and produced a library of hypnosis audios to increase self-confidence and productivity, improve sports performance, overcome sexual dysfunction, conquer procrastination, achieve weight loss goals, and successfully quit smoking. As a neuropsychologist, I have extensively studied brainwave patterns and the manner in which they play a role in hypnosis. I have recorded a collection of brainwave audios, which I use to help you achieve a deeper level of hypnosis and trance. Through the power of hypnosis, I am dedicated to helping my clients tap into their inner resources and achieve meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Does it ever feel like part of you is desperate to move forward, while another part keeps pulling you back? Or maybe you logically know a more balanced, helpful way to think, but it just doesn't feel true.
If so, you're not doing anything wrong. You may simply be bumping up against patterns that were learned at a deeper level. Often, these patterns developed to protect you, even if they're no longer serving you today. If you've been relying on insight and willpower but still feel stuck, hypnotherapy can help bridge the gap between knowing and truly believing.
Hypnotherapy offers an opportunity to connect with the subconscious mind, where many of our automatic beliefs, emotional responses, and protective patterns are stored. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, work through those barriers in a safe and supportive way, and create space for new beliefs and experiences that feel more aligned with the life you truly want to live.
Throughout the process, you remain aware and in control. You will also be given the option of audio recording the hypnosis practices so you can quicken progress by listening to them outside of sessions. I will also teach you self-hypnosis so you have a lifelong empowering tool. In this process, we will help your mind and body stop fighting each other so you can move through life with greater confidence, freedom, and ease. I truly enjoy helping my clients get unstuck and begin meeting their goals so they can live the lives they’ve always dreamed of. If you're ready to experience healing at a deeper level, I'd love to connect during a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.
