Top-Rated Hypnosis Fort Lauderdale
Welcome to my website! I am a psychotherapist and certified clinical hypnotherapist offering telehealth therapy sessions for those in Florida, New York, and Connecticut. In addition to talk therapy, I have seen the wonderful benefits of adding clinical hypnosis as a service option. I specialize in anxiety and parenting management and often incorporate hypnosis into my sessions for those open to trying it. By providing individualized support and evidence-based interventions, I aim to help people on their healing journey to overcome challenges, improve their mental health, and cultivate stronger relationships.
There are some situations when I may not be the best therapist for someone. For example, my practice is not appropriate for people who are looking to pay for therapy using their insurance. My practice is not a suitable fit for people who are contemplating suicide, have serious mental health issues like psychosis, or are only looking for medication management. I am also not the therapist for those who want in-person sessions or for those outside my service area.

FAQs about hypnosis

The success rate varies depending on individual factors and the nature of the issue being addressed. Research suggests that it can be effective for a range of conditions. Conditions include chronic illness, weight loss, post traumatic stress disorder, gaining confidence, sleep, anxiety, fears, phobias, smoking cessation, grief, and pain management. However, it’s essential to recognize that each person’s experience is unique, and outcomes may vary. While many people report positive results and significant improvement in their symptoms, hypnosis may not be effective for everyone, and certain outcomes are not guaranteed.
The reality is that we’re constantly being hypnotized without realizing it. Hypnosis is defined as being open to suggestion. It involves the subconscious mind absorbing messages and influencing beliefs and behavior. Even when we’re not fully attentive, like during TV commercials, our subconscious mind is still receptive. That impulse buy at the grocery store? It might lead back to that commercial.
Changing subconscious beliefs can be tough due to ingrained habits, and one’s resistance can limit hypnosis’s effectiveness. If one is not ready or doesn’t want to be hypnotized, they won’t be. Hypnosis is not mind control; you’ll snap out of it if the message doesn’t resonate. Repetition helps the subconscious mind reinforce new beliefs. So, if you went to a hypnotist before, and it didn’t work? It’s a good idea to try it a few more times for it to be effective because when it’s effective, it can really make a difference in the lives of many.

If a hypnosis practitioner is also a licensed therapist, insurance reimbursement for hypnosis is definitely possible, depending on one’s insurance plan.
I am what is known as an out-of-network provider. When working with me, session payment is due upfront, but then insurance reimbursement is possible. I work with a billing company called Mentaya, which files insurance claims on my clients’ behalves, making using out-of-network insurance benefits much easier for the people I work with.
Working with an out-of-network provider can offer several benefits:
Greater Choice and Flexibility: You have the freedom to choose any provider you prefer, which can be particularly beneficial if you need a specialist or a specific type of care not available within your insurance network.
Access to Specialists: Out-of-network providers might include specialists who are highly regarded in their field, offering expertise that may not be available in-network.
Personalized Care: Out-of-network providers may offer more personalized care, with less time pressure and more individualized attention, without the constraints of insurance company rules.
Advanced Treatment Options: These providers might offer innovative or advanced treatments that are not covered by in-network providers.
Reduced Wait Times: You may experience shorter wait times for appointments and procedures compared to in-network providers.

I believe that the most prominent negative effect of hypnotherapy is the misconception of it in media. Due to this misconception, people have anxiety or fear regarding hypnosis. There is fear that one will lose control when they are being hypnotized, or that clinical hypnosis is similar to, or the same as, comedy hypnosis. The reality is that, a hypnotherapist will not force someone to quack like a duck, so to speak. You are in control the entire time someone is hypnotizing you. Hypnosis is used simply to help people lead a rewarding life. The hypnotherapist’s role is to guide one into a relaxed state, also known as the hypnotic state or trance state, and facilitate positive change and self healing.
If you are anxious or unsure if hypnotherapy is right for you and whether you would be an ideal client or not, please reach out to me with any questions!
