Save your money, listen to "Hypnosis with Joseph Clough" instead... for free!…read more Why? Let me explain... No, there is too much. Let me sum up. I was referred to Jay Luck by a friend. I had quit smoking a month earlier & wanted to stay that way, plus lose weight. My first appointment should have been an hour, but was 3. What happened during those 3 hours? - Jay gave me a sales pitch - watched a sales video - was given a very thick binder of testimonials, NONE of which were for Jay Luck ??? - he left me sitting alone most of the time, while he was treating OTHER patients! - then, about 2.5 hours in, he asks if I want to proceed.... if so, I must pay in full right then. - the price? It was like he summed me up & arbitrarily decided I should pay $677! I was super committed & trusted my (stupid) friend, so paid. - I asked about losing weight & he fat shamed me, "it's easy, eat less & exercise more" - know what my hypnosis session consisted of? Him sitting me in a recliner, with blanket, putting headphones on me & hitting play. Then he left again. - after 30 minutes, he came back & told me he'd send me a couple recordings to listen to once a day. One for quitting smoking & one for confidence. - the recordings were full of inaccurate information & annoying. - yes, I went back a second time. Hoping my first visit wasn't normal.... besides I'd already paid a buttload of money. (Right?) second time as bad as the first. All in all, I wasted a big chunk of time & money to feel bad about myself. I've gotten so much more from the FREE podcast "Hypnosis with Joseph Clough". Whatever you're trying to "fix", you can do it.... just don't do it at Apple Valley Hypnosis www.Hypnosis.Guru

We found the constant reframing throughout the process to be deeply frustrating and, at times,…read moreemotionally harmful. Concerns about unequal treatment, broken trust, and unresolved hurt were repeatedly redirected toward reconciliation, acceptance, and our willingness to move forward relationally. Over time, this created a dynamic where it felt like the burden increasingly shifted onto us to "get past" issues that we did not believe had actually been repaired. Instead of feeling supported in working through the underlying problems, we often left conversations feeling misunderstood, minimized, or blamed for not being ready to normalize relationships that still felt fundamentally unresolved. Looking back, we wish we had understood earlier that the process was less neutral mediation and more relationally oriented advising. That distinction materially affected the experience and outcome for us. For people navigating deep family-business conflict, favoritism, exclusion, or longstanding trust issues, I would strongly encourage getting very clear upfront about whether the goal is accountability and structural repair first, or reconciliation and acceptance first. Those are very different approaches, and in our case that difference mattered a great deal.

This woman wrote a report for my ex in a contentious custody battle based off of less than 15…read moreminutes talking with me and made it appear as if we had had 2 full sessions. I don't even recall signing paperwork. She attempted to hold therapy that other therapists would later say was not emotionally safe to have before terminating their sessions. Additionally, I don't know where my ex found her, but she was very one sided from the go which is why I left the session so early in the first place. I'm giving her a 1 star simply because her license appears to have been valid and she had an office and because zero wasn't an option. I think this woman probably causes more damage than she heals. I noticed in her history section on this site, as of the date I'm writing this, that she states that the people who contribute "defamatory" reviews are using maladaptive behavior and not accepting responsibility for the harm they cause their families which is gaslighting at its finest (although I'm not licensed, I read a lot and it doesn't take an expert to recognize). I would think twice about using this woman's services. I can assure you that there are much more experienced therapists in this same area of therapy that do not have the negative and very telling reviews that this woman has. I would also like to add that I have had full legal and physical custody of my child since about the same time she wrote her report.

Also this program meets the state of Minnesota requirements for a program that uses a test and teaches conflict resolution skills and is at least 12 hours long (in order to get the discounted $40 marriage lisc fee from the state).
