Breaking the cycles that hold us back.

We all have many goals in our lives that we repeatedly tell ourselves that we are going to accomplish; we just never get around to accomplishing them. Conversely, we all have habits that we keep telling ourselves that we are not going to do anymore, but we find ourselves doing them over and over again.

We all have goals in our lives that we keep insisting that we are going to accomplish, but we never seem to get around to them. We fall into the same patterns of negative thinking, get out of a bad relationship just to find the same dynamics in our next relationship, and hold ourselves back from getting what we want in life — even though we promised ourselves we would do things differently this time.

Integrating Hypnosis into the Therapy Process

NY Health Hypnosis & Integrative Therapy uses Ericksonian hypnosis, which is the art of using meditative techniques and language to help a person move forward. Instead of “direct suggestion,” which most of us resist, this method helps people get in touch with that part of themselves that wants to change and quiets any thoughts that get in the way of making that change. By integrating hypnosis into our weekly or biweekly therapy sessions, we work together to promote meaningful change.
We believe that every person has the ability to change his or her life in a meaningful way. Most people just need a little help finding effective ways to bring about those changes. Through this method, you will uncover the unconscious reasons you have failed to reach your goals and will develop effective strategies for bringing about your desired changes. We encourage you to learn about our approach and specialties to determine whether these methods may be right for you.
