Frequently Asked Questions
Discover insights about our hypnotherapy services, how they work, and how they can benefit you. We address the most common hypnotherapy questions here.
How much does a hypnotherapy consultation cost?
Your consultation session is free. That gives us an opportunity to meet and make sure that hypnotherapy can help you, at no cost to you.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your individual goals and needs. While some clients achieve results in just a few sessions, others may require a more comprehensive approach.
What can I expect during a hypnotherapy session?
During a session, you will be guided into a deeply relaxed state where we address the subconscious patterns that may be holding you back. Each session is tailored to your specific needs.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Hypnotherapy is a guided, non-invasive relaxation process, and you stay aware and in control throughout. It is a complementary approach, not medical or mental health care.
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy taps into your subconscious mind, helping to reframe thought patterns, behaviors, and habits for positive transformation.
Can hypnotherapy help with anxiety or trauma?
Many clients come to us for everyday anxiety, stress, and difficult past experiences. Research on hypnosis for anxiety is listed on our Evidence page; we do not treat trauma-related disorders.
Do I remain in control during a session?
Yes, you are fully in control and aware throughout the process. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative approach between you and the practitioner.
How fast will I see results?
Everyone’s pace is different. Some clients tell us they notice a shift within the first few sessions, and we review progress with you as we go. Others may require a few sessions for deeper, lasting transformation.
What are your qualifications?
I am a Certified Hypnotherapist, NLP Trainer, and graduate of the Anthony Robbins Trainer Academy with over 20 years of experience. My expertise includes Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), mindfulness, guided imagery, and personal coaching.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes! I offer both in-person and virtual sessions, allowing clients worldwide to access effective hypnotherapy and coaching.
Does insurance cover hypnosis or coaching sessions?
Most insurance plans do not cover hypnosis or coaching, but you may be able to use an HSA or FSA account for payment. Check with your provider for details.
How many sessions will it take?
Everyone’s pace is different. Some clients tell us they notice a shift within the first few sessions, and we review progress with you as we go. More complex issues may take more time.
What is the age limit?
I work with adults 18 and over, and people between 10 and 18 with parental consent and approval from the Silicon Valley Hypnosis Center.
