Depending on how many issues we're working with and your specific needs, each hypnotherapy session lasts approximately 30 minutes to one hour. Sometimes sessions can go longer if there's time and we have a lot to work on or discuss. As a good rule of thumb, always set aside one hour for each session. Sessions consist of:
I bring you out of the hypnotic state at the end, and we get you scheduled for your next session.
Ideally, hypnotherapy appointments occur each week. It's the ideal amount of time between sessions to increase the effectiveness of hypnotherapy.
In some situations, we may be able to schedule sessions every two weeks or every month depending on what your presenting issue is.
The longer the time between sessions, the more opportunity your subconscious has to return to your original state of homeostasis, and that's counterproductive to the progression of hypnotherapy. It will likely result in additional hypnotherapy sessions being needed to reach resolution with your presenting issue.
Every client is unique, and every presenting issue is different for each unique client. Traditional therapy usually consists of 30 sessions on average for any given presenting issue. With hypnotherapy, the average number of sessions is six.
It is important to note that the number of sessions will depend on each unique situation. We may be able to work together and bring resolution to your presenting issue in about six sessions, but for some it may take upwards of 20 sessions or more.
Some clients are also recurring clients who have ongoing weekly appointments. These clients seek to talk about the stressors of their week, vent out those stressors via the hypnotic state, and seek positive reinforcement to maintain a beneficial mental state.
I charge $150 per hypnotherapy session.
A non-refundable deposit in the full amount of the session price is required at the time of booking, and the deposit is applied to the cost of the session when the session is complete. A cancellation policy is enforced equally with each client, and the non-refundable deposit will be forfeited for late cancellations or failing to show up for a session. In some instances, in my discretion, I may allow sessions to be re-booked for another time, but the deposit will not be refunded.
Package discounts are available upon request.
Please note: There are some presenting issues which will require a two hour initial session. If this is the case, the session fee will be different. Please contact me for specific information.
If you have a Letter of Medical Necessity from your physician/psychiatrist, you may use HSA/FSA funds to pay for your hypnotherapy sessions. Because licenses are not issued for the practice of hypnotherapy, there are no known insurance options available to cover the cost of services.
