Hypnotherapy

Have you ever wondered why you keep finding yourself in unhealthy relationships or struggling with negative behaviors? Many of us go through challenging life events that affect us in ways we may not fully understand consciously. Heart-centered hypnotherapy offers a way to explore these events through hypnosis, uncovering unconscious beliefs we've formed about ourselves that impact our behavior.

The process begins by relaxing your conscious mind (Prefrontal cortex), allowing access to long-term memory pathways. The therapist guides you through a meditation-like state, then shifts focus to explore underlying unconscious beliefs related to your chosen theme.

Using age regression, we gently guide you back to when negative beliefs were formed, understanding the coping mechanisms that led to them. Through this exploration, we aim to replace these negative beliefs with healthier, positive narratives that support your well-being.​

MEET YOUR HYPNOTHERAPIST

GABRIEL BOYD

I became trained and eventually a certified hypnotherapist through the Wellness Institute due to my personal journey and profound experiences with hypnotherapy sessions. Through these sessions, I explored past traumas and struggled with mental health symptoms, experiencing significant relief and healing. This ignited a passion in me for guiding others through their own transformative journeys, helping them achieve similar relief from their own mental health challenges.

As a counselor and hypnotherapist, I am committed to offering compassionate, effective support rooted in my understanding of the profound impact hypnosis can have on mental and emotional health.

OUR PROCESS

Throughout our work together, our approach remains collaborative and respectful of your pace and preferences. Together, we strive to harness the benefits of hypnosis to promote your well-being and achieve sustainable positive changes in your life.

01

INITIAL SESSION

Our focus is on building trust and rapport, gathering essential information about your therapeutic goals, and ensuring you are fully prepared and at ease as we embark on your healing journey together. You may be guided through a ‘mock’ hypnotherapy session so that you can experience what hypnosis feels like, and address any questions or concerns you may have.

02

ONGOING SESSIONS

Typically, we'll begin with a brief check-in to discuss any developments and tailor our session accordingly. We will then proceed with inducing a state of hypnosis to uncover unconscious patterns and address any underlying emotions contributing to your challenges. As the session nears its conclusion, you will be gently guided out of hypnosis and into a thorough review.

03

INTEGRATION

Throughout our journey together, you will be provided with resources, coping strategies, and/or homework assignments to help you integrate the insights gained from our session into your daily life. It ensures that you leave feeling supported and empowered to continue your progress outside of our sessions.

  • One of the ways in which we provide hypnotherapy is as an integrated treatment modality in the counseling process. This may be a primary treatment modality or one of many used in sessions to support you toward your identified treatment goals. This can be billed through your insurance under your mental health benefits.

  • Are you looking for hypnotherapy sessions without becoming a therapy client?

    No problem, we offer hypnotherapy as a stand alone wellness service. You can engage in hypnotherapy without the hassle of  paperwork and insurance. This service is pay as you go.

  • That depends on your goals, your history, and your capacity for the work. Some clients come for short-term support around specific challenges. Others stay longer to explore deeper patterns and rebuild from the inside out. There’s no “right” timeline—we’ll check in regularly and adjust together.
