I provide you with an audiotape of each of your hypnotherapy sessions at no additional cost. This enables your ongoing review of the techniques and creates a library of customized tapes you can use long after therapy has terminated. I encourage you to play these tapes as often as possible in between sessions so that you can go into hypnosis on your own and further reinforce these powerful suggestions in your subconscious mind.

If you request it, I will create, for an additional fee, a supplemental series of customized tapes that amplify the work done in our office sessions. These programs reflect my understanding of your particular suggestibility, your history with the issue, your current experience of it, how your think about and frame the problem to yourself, how the issue interferes with your life, and the goals you have for manifesting positive change.

The material for the scripts presented in your customized hypnosis sessions I uncover during the cognitive portion of each hypnotherapy session. I present you with a series of questions and thought exercises that typically prompt very enlightening insights. Incorporating this material into a customized program for resolving your issue is far more effective that simply putting you under hypnosis and reading a canned script. After all, each person's subconscious mind is unique in that the experiences, feelings, attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and memories stored there are peculiar to their particular life. In order to achieve optimal results, I specifically tailor the content of each script to the individual mindset.

If you are unable to come to my West Los Angeles, California office, I develop a program of hypnotic audiotapes based on material gleaned from interviews over the phone and through email. If you are considering this form of therapy, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the free phone consultation I offer in order for us to decide whether working together at a distance is really feasible.

Depending upon your issues, experience with hypnosis and other forms of therapy for those issues, your goals, and your time constraints, I work out a program that fits your needs and your budget, provided I feel you are a good candidate for distance therapy. If I don't feel you are, I will recommend that you find a therapist in your locale whom you can work with in person. I will also assist you in interviewing prospective therapists to find one who is qualified to manage your particular issue, if necessary.

Hypnosis by phone provides a highly effective treatment alternative to in-office sessions. After an in-depth discussion of the specific changes you desire, I guide you into a deep hypnotic state and then apply the same hypnotherapeutic techniques to achieve those changes. Phone hypnosis works because it involves an auditory process: the transformation occurs in response to what your subconscious hears and accepts.

Perhaps you are housebound, live out of the Los Angeles area, or simply want to conserve time, money, and energy avoiding the commute to my office. With a cordless phone, speakerphone, or headset, you can enjoy your session in the privacy and comfort of your home, office, hotel room, or even a beach chair.

I offer all clients a free phone consultation to discover the issues/problems you want to resolve. We set up a phone appointment for your first session, and you prepay me with either a check, cash, money order, or credit card prior to your appointment. On the day and time of the session, you simply call me at 310-478-3377. Each session lasts 1½ hours and includes a reinforcement tape which I will mail you.

To begin, simply read and follow the instructions in the Getting Started section. I will then email you back and suggest some possible times for your free, no-obligation phone consultation.

For clients who are unable to come to my office, but desire in person sessions, I do provide, on a case-by-case basis, in-home or in-hospital sessions. The cost of each session includes an additional fee for travel time.
