My Approach: As a certified hypnotist I am a teacher, motivator, coach, and guide. My goal is to assist you in resolving normal problems of living. I see my work as a clinical hypnotist as non-therapeutic in nature, as hypnotists do not engage in the independent diagnosis and treatment of medical or mental disease or offer any form of dietary or nutritional guidance or counsel.
Education and Training: I am a Certified Member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and do annual continuing education to maintain my training at a high level. The National Guild of Hypnotists is the oldest and largest hypnotism organization in the world and its certification is the most widely recognized credential for the professional practice of the hypnotic arts. My highest degree is a Master of Arts in Transpersonal Studies from Atlantic University plus post-graduate studies in clinical hypnosis from NorthCentral University. All universities are accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education.
Fees & Payment:
A session is generally 60 minutes or longer in length. Usually two to eight sessions can be sufficient for most issues.
Fees are per hour and rounded to the next quarter hour and include CDs (no extra charge) where appropriate.
Full payment is expected in advance unless other arrangements are made. PayPal, credit cards, cash, and personal checks are acceptable for payment. Multiple session discounts (15%-30%) are available.
Client meetings scheduled outside of my office (client's office, home, etc.) are charged for travel time at the normal hourly rate.
Time of sessions and changes: We commit to begin on time and end our sessions on time. Changes in appointments require an advance notice of 24 hours by emailing and phoning me. Without this notice, payment is expected for the misses appointment time. I do not call or send reminders for scheduled sessions.
