Clinical hypnosis is a dynamic tool to empower individuals and enhance therapeutic outcomes. In the tradition of Michael Yapko’s collaborative approach, I offer clinical hypnosis as a powerful, goal-oriented process for addressing a range of challenges, including chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. Yapko defines hypnosis as “utilizing focused attention to facilitate desired change,” and in our work, it’s not about control, but rather a focused collaboration, where we work together to unlock your inner resources for healing and change. This process can be particularly effective for pain management, offering relief beyond traditional methods, and proves remarkably beneficial for teenagers navigating the complexities of adolescence. By heightening our concentration and ability to make connections, hypnosis supercharges the therapeutic interventions I employ, allowing for deeper and more rapid progress towards your well-being.
“Molly is truly gifted and has been such an integral part of my teen’s journey of managing their anxiety. She has been able to provide the right balance of relational, scientific and behavioral information delivered with compassion and humor to activate my teen’s sense of agency for change.
Molly is a great therapist but also a coach and key navigator to the field guide of life for my teen as they navigate life’s transitions.”
