Clinical Hypnosis in Minneapolis–St. Paul and Online Throughout Minnesota
Clinical Hypnosis is an evidenced-based, creative approach to therapy that generates emotional and behavioral change towards freedom, balance, and authenticity.
How Does Clinical Hypnosis Work?
Clinical Hypnosis, also called Hypnotherapy, is a process that uses focused attention, relaxation, and guided experience to access deeper layers of the mind. In this gently altered state, the usual noise of self-criticism and overthinking quiets, creating space for clarity, emotional insight, and real change.
Sessions may include guided imagery, strategic suggestions, and corrective emotional experiences. Many people describe the experience as a natural, collaborative form of focused daydreaming, and a blend of deep relaxation combined with heightened clarity.
Clinical Hypnosis can be especially effective when traditional talk therapy has reached its limits. Rather than forcing change through effort alone, hypnosis helps you access the creative, intuitive part of your mind where lasting change begins. This work is not about giving up control, it is about developing your ability to direct your attention, emotions, and agency.

No. Clinical Hypnosis is a powerful tool that I often use to support insight and change, but it’s never required. Also, there are many nuanced ways to use hypnosis, and so it can be customized.

I use a variety of evidence-based and experiential techniques, and together we’ll find what best fits your comfort level and goals.
