What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a research-supported approach that helps you access a calm, focused state where positive behavioral change becomes easier. You remain aware and in control throughout the entire process.

​

What can hypnotherapy support?

Hypnotherapy can be a useful tool for creating meaningful changes in thoughts, behaviors, habits, and emotional responses. Depending on your goals, personalized hypnotherapy may help you manage stress, build confidence, improve sleep, change unwanted habits, overcome fears, support performance, and create healthier patterns.
Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for medical or mental health treatment. Individual results vary.

​

How does hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy involves four stages: induction, deepening, suggestions, and emergence. Contrary to media portrayals, you remain conscious and in control throughout the process, with your attention focused on the changes you want to make.

Your first step is a one-on-one intake session with Debora to discuss your goals and create a personalized hypnosis program specifically for you. Intake sessions are available in person in Lake Oswego or virtually.

Your personalized hypnosis program is created following your intake session and emailed to you.

​

How long does a hypnotherapy session last?

Intake sessions typically last about two hours, while follow-up hypnotherapy sessions are approximately 1.5 hours. The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and the changes you'd like to make. Some clients may notice meaningful changes within a couple of sessions, while others may benefit from additional support.

Is hypnotherapy dangerous?

Hypnotherapy is generally considered safe when practiced by a trained professional. You remain conscious and in control throughout the process, and hypnosis does not involve mind control.

Hypnosis may not be appropriate for everyone. If you have a history of mania, psychosis, schizophrenia, or hallucinations, please consult with your physician or mental health provider to determine whether hypnosis is appropriate for you.
 

Can hypnotherapy replace therapy?

Please note that we are not mental health practitioners. Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for traditional counseling or therapy and should be used as a complementary modality when appropriate. If you are currently receiving mental health care, hypnotherapy can be discussed as an additional supportive approach with your provider. We are happy to provide mental health care referrals as needed.
