Hypnotherapy
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Hypnotherapy in my practice is used as a gentle, focused way to support deeper access to patterns that often live beneath everyday awareness. It is not about being “out of control” or manipulated, but instead about entering a relaxed, highly attentive state where the mind and body can work together more fluidly.
In this state, clients often find it easier to connect with internal images, sensations, emotions, and memories that are related to anxiety, trauma responses, habits, or long-standing emotional patterns. This can create openings for insight, release, and new ways of experiencing familiar triggers.
My approach to hypnotherapy is trauma-informed, collaborative, and always paced by your nervous system. You remain aware and in control throughout the process, and sessions are guided with a focus on safety, choice, and consent. Hypnotherapy is never used to override your experience, but to gently support what is already ready to shift or be understood more deeply.
Within a psychodynamic and Focusing-Oriented framework, hypnotherapy can help amplify the “felt sense” — the subtle body-based knowing that often carries important emotional information. This can support work around anxiety, fears, self-worth, relational patterns, and internalized beliefs.
Clients often describe hypnotherapy sessions as deeply restful, clarifying, or surprisingly emotional in a way that feels meaningful and contained. It can also support nervous system regulation, helping the body access states of calm that may feel difficult to reach in everyday life.
Hypnotherapy is used selectively and thoughtfully as part of an integrative approach, and may be combined with talk therapy, mindfulness, and Focusing-Oriented work depending on your needs and goals.
This work is especially supportive for clients who feel “stuck in their head,” or who notice that insight alone has not created lasting change, and who are curious about engaging the deeper layers of mind-body experience in a safe and grounded way.

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.

Arthur (Archie) Levine
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LMHC
Hypnotherapy, Neurolinguistic Programming (or NLP), & Thought Pattern Management are rooted in the idea that a person's thoughts, feelings, & behaviors arise from their Unconscious Mind. When we are able to communicate directly with the Unconscious Mind, & to gain it's trust and cooperation, it is capable of quickly healing & creating changes for that person.

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.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Clinical hypnotherapy is the core tool inside Identity 2.0. It's not relaxation. It's direct access to the subconscious mind where your patterns actually live. In a focused hypnotic state, we bypass the conscious filters that keep old programming locked in place and install new identity-level defaults beliefs, responses, and emotional baselines aligned with who you're becoming. In-person in Richardson, TX and virtual sessions available nationwide.

Seattle's tech economy — driven by Amazon, Microsoft, and a dense startup ecosystem — has made burnout, imposter syndrome, and the social costs of rapid wealth inequality prominent themes in local therapy. The "Seattle Freeze" — a widely noted phenomenon of difficulty forming close friendships — means therapists here frequently address loneliness, social anxiety, and the challenge of building genuine community in an outwardly welcoming but emotionally reserved city. Seattle's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, neurodiversity specialists, and practitioners working with race, identity, and social justice themes. UW Medicine and Swedish Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most therapist-dense cities in the Pacific Northwest.
