I highly recommend Laney Coulter of Loving Kindness Hypnosis. She gets 5 stars! My new-found hope…read moreand enthusiasm come from my amazing experience with just 4 sessions. When I came to Loving Kindness Hypnosis, there were several issues that I wanted to target. Laney Coulter's card says, "Transform your life", and for me, it was absolutely life-changing. I was at one of my lowest points ever. I felt completely alone and unsupported and stuck there while being unable to ask for the help I needed, wanted, and deserved. I wondered why I should even exist. I had some previous minimal experience with hypnosis so I asked my counselor for a referral. She referred me to Laney's practice. If you are reading this review, you have feelings and ruminations of your own to deal with, so I will spare you mine. Fill in your own blanks here. Anyway, I decided to take a chance. Now, I am positively so much more clear about my life. I am content and so much happier as I think about going forward with my life as I choose to design it.

I'm impressed by Laney's deep intuition and understanding. I had never tried hypnotism before and…read moreI'm glad I trusted my gut to go for it. She has a diverse range of experience to guide you through any problem. You'll come out refreshed from her calm, supportive environment.

I went to Soma Trauma Therapy after I got hit by a car walking across Sandy Blvd. Beverly, and her…read moretrainee Sarah, were both present for my sessions and I found them both to be smart and insightful. Beverly tailored my treatment plan to my needs and it worked amazingly well. Getting hit by a car as a pedestrian can shake you up pretty bad. Crossing busy streets became terrifying and I avoided leaving the house at all for a few weeks. Beverly helped me get past the trauma so I could move on and stop reliving it every time I tried to cross a street. Her therapy made a huge difference in my well-being. I am now comfortable walking anywhere and have no qualms about leaving the house. Thanks Beverly!

Beverly is a great person and she helped me tremendously. She just made the whole process so easily and as stress free as possible.

Barbara is an incredibly kind and skilled therapist. My mother and I went to see her for several…read moresessions (and will likely see her again when needed) to address some deeper wounds and unhealthy dynamics that stood in the way of us having the kind of relationship we want. Barbara gently yet assertively guides the sessions to help each person feel heard, seen and understood. She uses somatic and mindfulness-based techniques and has a deeper wisdom that is palpable. Her approach is far more effective than just 'talking about' issues and trying to shift them from a cognitive place, which I find so painfully limited, it is more relational, experiential and touches in to the core of things. I am very discerning when it comes to therapists, as I am one myself, and we even tried working with someone else who said they specialized in mother-daughter work, but after 2 sessions we chose not to work with her and continue looking. I'm so glad we did, as I loved working with Barbara and I will seek out her support again in the future.

Although our work together has concluded for now, I would refer her to anyone local in the portland area for easy to understand and practical mindfulness therapy. She is absolutely wonderful, held my hand as I reinvented myself through divorce and career change and moving to 3 different homes and a global pandemic. She helped me adopt updated communication skills and language that has helped me connect with my kids and partner in a Much healthier way. In my opinion, everyone should have a therapist Barbara in their life. I am forever grateful!!

This summer I was…read morevisiting Portland and was so surprised to hear from a colleague about the same treatment done right here in Portland by Suzanne. Had no idea this existed in the US. Without hesitation I booked a session. There are no words to describe how healing this work is and how patient, compassionate and kind Suzanne is. Please go and do this for yourself at least once and if you don't feel lighter, better, happier, relieved and satisfied- then don't do it again. I felt absolutely fantastic and did it again a couple of weeks after. It's a tremendous healing process of release and transmuting trauma into love. Self love. Thank you, Suzanne! I will be back!

I continue to see Diane for tune ups because life is dynamic and I always want to feel empowered to deal with what comes my way. She continues to educate herself in the latest trauma techniques so I continue to benefit from her even 19 years after my first session. Her compassion and focused attention are unmatched!

I was having issues with codependency in my relationship. I knew that ending the relationship was not the answer. This was an issue with me and the way I was reacting to things. I didn't know where to turn but I started looking for a hypnotherapist and happened to find Trisha. I'm so glad I reached out to her. We discussed my issues and she decided that what might help me more was Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT). This technique actually worked for me. I experienced some true success with this in just the first session. Pretty amazing stuff and exactly what I needed! I'm very grateful to Trisha for this and recommend her and BWRT highly!

The session was wonderful, I'd never seen a hypnotist via skype before but it worked perfectly. Emotions are nebulous and hard to quantify, unlike a physical pain that is easily designated 1/10 5/10 and so on..... What I noticed following the session was a generalized optimism, and feeling (emotionally) of lightness, like my load had been lifted and I was free to begin to pay attention to other things in life. For someone who has been stuck in a difficult period it was an immense relief. I will absolutely be seeing her again!
