I have had wonderful experiences in the past with guided meditation/hypnosis and I had been looking…read morefor a local person who could help me finally quit the habit of off and on again smoking. Most of my experiences with guided meditations were at Canyon Ranch, which is great but incredible expensive, impersonal and brief. But Inner Freedom Therapy is completely the opposite. Before you sign up for a session, Dr. Goldhammer sends you information about your visit and what to expect, and asks you questions about what you would like to achieve. You speak with her prior to the visit, and immediately feel comfortable! I was not used to such personalized attention. During the session, we talked for a little bit, then moved into a hypnosis/guided meditation where I was always in control, just in a more relaxed state. It was extremely enjoyable and remarkably enlightening. Hard for me to explain exactly, but the dreamlike journey allowed me to see certain things in different ways that enabled me to free myself from certain negative thoughts and actions (like smoking). Once the session finished, we said goodbye and she said she'd follow up. I did not actually expect her to do so - but not only did she call and ask if we should talk again to see how I felt, she also sent me a recording so I could continue the relaxation work with the accompanying positive words. What a remarkable experience and what a lovely person! She has so much integrity and compassion, and clearly loves what she does. Starting up Inner Freedom Therapy is quite a brave leap for someone who had been a highly successful physician for many years, and I wish her all the very best. I haven't smoked since I had my session, which was the goal, but along with that I gained important insight and a sense of clarity that I am very grateful for. She is terrific!

As a fellow physician, I have had the pleasure to work with Dr. Goldhammer for over 10 years. I…read morehave always respected her knowledge and the care she has provided her patients. I was intrigued when she informed me of her new practice and, before recommending hypnosis to my own patients, I was curious to try it myself. I have had an embarrassing habit of nail biting for as long as I can remember. I did not like the fact that my hands looked unprofessional and was self-conscious of their appearance. Despite many attempts to overcome this habit, I failed. I consider myself very self motivated and was disappointed that I could not control this habit. This is the problem that I asked Dr. Goldhammer to help me solve. I really didn't know what to expect prior to my visit. During my session and for many hours afterwards, I felt very relaxed. There was never a point where I felt I was not in control of myself. I enjoyed the time spent in self reflection. After the visit I thought, if nothing else, it was a very welcome change from my daily routine. However, a curious thing happened. I noticed that the desire to partake in my old habit was no longer there. I don't want to give the impression that there was something magical that happened. It is just that there was a definite shift in my thinking which once and for all, helped me overcome this habit. It is very liberating to be able to keep my hands on the table during meetings and not worry about their appearance while examining patients. I am very grateful to Dr. Goldhammer for her help and am so happy that Chester County has such a thoughtful and talented physician caring for patients here.

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother. We visited Meredith Monroe together for an initial…read morefree consultation to evaluate if V.L.I. Hypnosis would be a good option for my mother to assist her in her endeavor to quit smoking. We wanted to meet Meredith to gauge her personality, inquire about her techniques and previous success rates and experiences with smoking cessation, and to determine the average sessions needed and associated costs. After spending about 1.5 hours with Meredith talking and asking and answering questions, it was obvious that she was going to be a great choice for my mother's requirements. It was determined that my mother would need 3, one-hour sessions to achieve her goals. During my mother's first session, I waited patiently at home for her to return after an hour, expecting her to arrive home within 5-minutes after the session was to end. She didn't arrive home until an hour and a half after the expected time. I asked her where she was and she said that she just finished with Meredith. I said to her that it was supposed to be an hour. She replied that Meredith doesn't rush or stick to firm timetables. This was the case with each session. Each session lasted at least 2-hours or more long, not the originally agreed upon 1-hour. My mother paid for the 3, one-hour sessions up-front at the time of the first session. No additional monies were collected for the extra time. My mother explained to me that Meredith's voice was so soothing and calming and that she didn't realize when she was in the "trance state," but felt as though she was floating and that her arms were actually floating above the arms of the chair. Meredith implanted subconscious thoughts into my mother's mind (my mother's words) that she knew she heard, but could not really vocalize what was said due to the state of mind she was experiencing during the hypnosis. After each session, my mother felt stronger and stronger, more positive than the session before and hasn't smoked since the first session. Meredith continued to reinforce the idea that my mother was never going to smoke again and she hasn't. My mother occasionally says she could go for a smoke, but the feeling passes as quickly as it comes on. My mother insists that she'll never smoke again. Meredith indicated, prior to the first session, that she makes herself available 24-hours a day by telephone and email for pep talks and encouragement to keep people on track. My mother highly recommends using V.L.I. Hypnosis for any subconscious addictions or habits that you cannot seem to break or get under control. She swears that Meredith's techniques and approach are outstanding. Meredith, my mother cannot thank you enough!

Dr Perilstein is a life saver!…read more 6 months ago I began seeing her during a very difficult time in my life. Quite frankly I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel... I didn't have a day without crippling anxiety and it drive me to depression. Doctor Perilstein, with a large dose on genuine care and a small dose of comedy, began treating me. She quickly began focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy as a means to train myself on how to be "my old happy self" again.

In…read morea brief span of time, she identified major patterns in my life that I needed to address, and gave me the courage and framework to face them head on. That was during a divorce. Afterward, in my next relationship, it seemed she got too attached to an image she had formed of my partner, and wouldn't allow for who I was and what I wanted to naturally evolve as my relationship with my partner deepened and where we started not wanting the same things, we grew to a point where I actually did want the same thing he wanted. But it felt like Joanne didn't think I was allowed to evolve? It got weird, where I would get anxious before my session and it felt like an appointment made to a weekly fight. A weekly fight that led to another fight with my partner. When I realized that, I stopped seeing her. I think she was great for crisis stabilization and getting me through a divorce, but I outgrew her when things stabilized in my life after that.
