FAQ

I am certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists as a Certified Hypnotherapist. The certification training I underwent was designed specifically for training healthcare professionals in Clinical Hypnosis. As a healthcare professional, outside of being a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, I have a lot of additional training and knowledge; as well as a sense of professionalism and experience that lends itself very well to providing hypnotherapy services. You can trust me to maintain the utmost level of respect and compassion toward you, and to meet you where you are in your journey. I also provide each of my clients with a complimentary, personalized audio recording that they can use for self-hypnosis to reinforce their hypnotherapeutic suggestions in between sessions.

Hypnotherapy services are typically covered by flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA) if the hypnotherapy services are recommended / ordered by a licensed healthcare provider. An example of how this would work:

You want to stop smoking, and are interested in using Hypnotherapy to help you achieve this. You request for your primary care provider to write a letter recommending hypnotherapy for smoking cessation. We will provide you with an itemized invoice for the hypnotherapy services you receive. You can then submit the invoice and recommendation letter to the company that manages your FSA/HSA, and get reimbursed for the cost of the Hypnotherapy. However, you should always check with your plan first to double check what they require to provide reimbursement.

Whichever you prefer! If you would like to meet in person, we have an office in the Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus, OH. If you would like to meet virtually via video chat, we can arrange video hypnotherapy sessions as well. Hypnosis sessions conducted virtually are actually very effective! Sometimes being in the comfort of your own home lends itself very well to creating an ideal environment for hypnotherapy.

We will meet each other. We will discuss the hypnotherapeutic process, and I will answer any questions or concerns you may have. We will discuss your goals for hypnotherapy. We will do a few exercises to identify techniques and imagery I can utilize during your hypnosis to make it as effective as possible. I will then do an induction to put you into hypnosis. When you are in a hypnotic state, I will introduce imagery, hypnotherapeutic suggestions, and other techniques to help you address your issues and make positive changes in your life, health, and behaviors. Afterward, I will slowly emerge you from hypnosis, once again incorporating language and techniques that will reinforce the changes you have decided to make. We will then debrief and talk about your experience. Later, I will make and send you a personalized audio recording that will help reinforce the hypnotherapeutic suggestions in between our sessions that you can listen to as often as you want/need to.
