Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy

Perhaps you feel stuck with an unwanted habit or limited by negative thoughts, emotions, or fears. You want to remove old habits and adopt new, productive ones that will allow you to live up to your full potential. You may have tried other methods, such as medication, treatments, talk therapy, or even just willpower, but so far haven't been able to achieve satisfactory results. Hypnotherapy, whether on its own or in conjunction with other therapies, is an amazing tool to help you finally realize profound, positive changes in your life. By accessing the learning power of your subconscious mind I'll help you to align your feelings and behaviors with your goals. Changing your behavior using hypnosis isn't achieved with willpower, but instead through subconscious re-learning that can feel almost effortless. When you become my client the first session is a simple conversation about you and your issue. By understanding the specifics of your current problem and desired goals, and learning other details about you I can then construct a plan of hypnotherapy that is tailored to your specific requirements and personality. Subsequent sessions are all about the trance. While every session is different they all involve engaging with your imagination in active, creative ways. Trance states are learning states, and the reason why hypnotherapy is such a successful modality is because it engages with your creative, subconscious mind, teaching it a new program that will help start you along new, productive paths. Sessions are generally quite relaxing as becoming calm and focused are desirable towards achieving a productive hypnotherapy session, and I will be your guide the entire way. You may find yourself in a dream-like state for much of the session, though hypnosis feels different for everybody and you may simply feel grounded, relaxed, and fully aware. However you experience trance, I'll help you to lower any critical barriers that my exist so that you can engage with your subconscious mind. Once there, I'll guide you to discover personalized solutions to your problems. You know yourself better than anyone else, even if you aren't always consciously aware of some of that knowledge! Hypnosis brings inner wisdom you already possess to the fore where you can then harness it to help you reach your goals. Generally I work with clients on one issue or goal at a time. Because we are laser-focused on finding solutions to that problem it may take only 3-6 sessions to resolve it. Sometimes the problem turns out to be a symptom of a different, underlying issue, in which case we may switch gears and focus on the root problem. Resolving root causes often resolves the original problem as well. However many sessions it takes, it's my desire to help my clients achieve their goals in as few sessions as necessary.
