Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
My hypnotic formula is trauma-sensitive. I work with men and women experiencing a full spectrum of symptoms of chronic trauma and abuse. We use a variety of frameworks to process, heal and move on in life, so that you are finally comfortable in our own skin. Ultimately, we reset your nervous system, give you the tools to emotional regulation, and progam in a pathway to safety, at all times. We get there by first looking at the symptoms you are experiencing, and the associated beliefs and emotions, then reframe them with healthier and desired alternatives, while defining your new goals. We may use a hypnotic regression to allow the inner child to confront their antagonist and finally emotionally release what's been held back and suppressed for too long. Once this happens, there is a chance to forgive (if this is appropriate and/or available to you), along with a beautiful formula where we reach a core state of love, reprocess and reframe the unwanted programming, and grow the child up to a healthy and mature adult. Throughout the process, I also provide coping skills like tapping to use in the event there is a shame or trigger spiral. I train you in the breathwork technique that can change your chemical makeup from dread or fear to an elevated, inspired state. Most clients experience release and reach a state of inner peace by the third session.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals in navigating the impacts of relational trauma. My clinical training and experience has focused on intimate partner violence/domestic violence, sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse, and the trauma inherent in foster care / residential treatment placements. I'm passionate about working with individuals on lessening the constraints that trauma and PTSD can have on their lives.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be instrumental in addressing trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Trauma often leaves deep emotional scars that manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened stress responses. Traditional therapeutic approaches may not always reach these deeply embedded issues, but hypnotherapy offers a unique avenue to access and heal the subconscious mind where trauma is often stored. Furthermore, hypnotherapy can help individuals build positive coping mechanisms and resilience. Techniques such as guided imagery and positive suggestion can instill a sense of safety and empowerment, replacing the negative emotions tied to traumatic events.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma doesn’t always come from one big event—small, repeated experiences can quietly shape how safe, seen, or steady you feel in the world. In our work, we create a supportive space to notice these patterns, understand how they affect your relationships and sense of self, and gently foster healing. Approached with curiosity and care, you can find greater safety, insight, and self-understanding.
