I had a good experience working with Rita. I had done enough research on hypnotherapy and knew what…read moreI wanted & expected with a provider, Rita met my needs and expectations. I felt heard, seen, and felt. She gave good examples and dialogue that I could absorb and understand, which I very much appreciated. I liked that I received a few MP3 audios to continue doing the work, making time to listen 2-3x daily. Even after 7-sessions, I don't feel, just the in-person sessions would have been enough. For the issue that I came in to work on, I'm still working through it. I know every individual is different and hypnotherapy works differently for each person. It's not overnight or immediate for each person to work through things. I think it's good, there is a free consultation initially to see if the relationship could move forward. If you could be receptive, if you're both a good match, if she could actually help you. But then, I was a bit caught off guard with having to commit to a 7-session package, $1225 out the gate. I felt that could have been explained a bit more in the phone call prior to consultation. I like to ease into everything in life and I'm a bit more cautious with taking a plunge, especially with a provider of conscious work. I paid in two installments; I had to leave half as the deposit for the full package to secure that I was serious about doing the work. I had to book my dates right then & there after consultation to secure doing the work sooner rather than later. She gets booked out well in advance. It took a month for me to get the initial consultation appt. Cancelling is not a good idea if you care about doing the work per week or every 2-wks, but if you must, especially on short notice, as long as you can be flexible, she can get you into a slot asap. And she can shift an appt if she gets well in advance notice. Nonetheless, I'm glad I did the work and I had a good experience with Rita. I highly recommend her for hypnotherapy. I appreciated her honesty, practical guidance, feedback, words of wisdom, emoting skills, and choosing to do this kind of work. And I appreciated that she was responsive via email, text or if I needed information.

After my first session with Rita, I knew she was someone who would be pivotal in my growth as a…read moremusician and human. My goal was simple: learn faster and tap deep into the creativity of my subconscious to compose music. Within the first 3 sessions, she was able to help me do just that; but then we went deeper. I discovered things about my personality and subconscious that would have taken at least another decade to learn on my own. Rita accelerated my maturity and learning process in just a matter of a few hours. We delved deep into trauma, conquering overpowering feelings of sugar addiction, confidence, and many more topics. Her expertise at seeing things from multiple angles had me viewing life from so many new perspectives that it quickly changed how I navigated the world - for the better. It was like she guided me out of the Truman Show and then equipped me with tools and knowledge to adjust and thrive in my new reality. She's super easy to talk to, incredibly wise, and one of the most interesting people I've ever met. Also, her office space is very warm & cozy; it's easy and pleasant to melt in her atmosphere. Without a doubt, I'll continue utilizing her services for years to come!

My experience with Nova Hypnosis was amazing. I'll try and…read moreexplain why.... I went here to try something I was curious about: hypnosis. I'd heard about it but never fully understood what it was, let alone believed in it. From the moment I made my first call I felt really appreciated as a client. Ramzi is wonderful. His calm and caring demeanor are unique. He asked me about my goals, what he might be able to help me with, and explained the overall process. No pressure, no pitch. He's a person who genuinely wants to help others around them. It's just who he is. He has a gift for helping people. He also has a great sense of humor. I went through a few sessions of hypnosis and was surprised at what happened. Everyone's goals and experience are different, as they should be, so I won't go into too many details. I will say this: I was genuinely surprised at the changes I saw. I saw changes that I highly doubted were possible, with or without hypnosis. It was a unique, positive experience that was very much worth the investment. Thank you Nova Hypnosis and Wellness!

UPDATE 5/21/2026: Escalated to Maryland Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, awaiting…read moreresponse. *** RESPONSE 7/22/25: Irit, at the time I sought your services, you did not have any other form of payment. In retrospect, I should have realized booking therapy sessions all upfront on the phone and being told to send through Apple Pay was a red flag. I have never been to any professional therapist that offers Apple Pay, there is usually an online portal or invoices sent to the client. YOU gave me that option, and I'm sure other clients of yours can attest to that fact. I have never texted you saying our work was "amazing". I have every single text exchange, and if you continue to say things that are untrue I will post them. I would never say that because I did not believe our sessions were amazing, which is why I asked for the refund on the third session. You still haven't refunded me for the last session that was never completed due to the fact that I refuse to sign intake paper work and consent after the fact. I didn't trust it and I am glad I didn't because you are using this as a way to keep my money. As a professional who should be responsible for their own liability, you should have never moved forward without the proper paperwork. As it stands, you basically took my money without offering the full service. I still stand by the fact that this was the most unprofessional experience I have ever had and has deterred me from seeking out this specific type of therapy in the future. I would not agree that you are rooted in ethics. Update: Due to the fact that I paid Irit through Apple Pay, I cannot dispute these services. NEVER do business through Apple Pay, Zelle or Cashapp. I've reported this business to the Better Business Bureau for deceptive advertising and business practices. I believe there is a reason she conducts business through Apple Pay and it is for this exact reason. I fell victim to it but I urge anyone who comes across this review to STAY CLEAR OF THIS BUSINESS. She still has not refunded for the session I did not receive. I'm highly disappointed in the way Irit chose to handle me requesting a refund for a service I did not receive. I had not had the time to submit or sign any forms or contract, but she had proceeded with sessions without me having signed anything. This mistake ended up working in my favor. She is now saying she will only refund me after I sign a contract which makes no sense since we will not be doing business together anymore. I told her I would sign a contract that had an addendum stating that it only pertains to the 2 sessions I had done with her, and not the 3rd session I did not get. She refused. I would strongly suggest not doing business with her because she is quite expensive and does not show integrity when it comes to customer service or handling your money. Only one of the 2 sessions I had done with her felt like actual hypnosis, the first session I was not put into any hypnotic state (she called it "verbal hypnosis"). I told her I will be filing a dispute through my bank and she threatened legal action even though she had agreed to refund me once she realized I had never signed her contract (and tried to coerce me into signing it via phone call before issuing said refund).Be careful when doing business with her. I have screenshots and a recording of our phone call to back all of this up.

I can tell you that Jessica is very caring and knows what she is doing. Around 2018, I was…read moreintroduced to her by someone close. It was the first time I had met a hypnotherapist, so I did not know what to expect. I told her about my ongoing struggles of my life and then she told me about the whole process of hypnotherapy. I told her that my main problems were anxiety and depression. So, she put me into a deep sleep to help me explore the roots of my problems. For the past year, I have been going to her and she helped me greatly. It is thanks to her that my mind and health has gotten much better than before. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help. Jessica is very nice and she will always do her best to help you overcome obstacles.

Jessica Lin has been so kind and helpful from the moment we met. I deal with anxiety, OCD, and many…read moreother limiting behaviors and beliefs that I am working through. From the moment we connected via email, I had a good feeling about her. She responded promptly, and she even communicated with me via text message, which I found very personable and accessible. Her office is easy to locate and is located on a serene property surrounded by trees and nature. I found it calming before I even walked inside. Inside is a beautifully decorated office space, I would call it quite simple and zen. She gave me a little tour on my first visit. One of the many things I enjoy about my sessions with Jessica is that she takes the time to ask me questions about how I have been doing over the last couple of weeks. She is a wonderful listener and is always concerned about how I am feeling and what is going on in my life. She always remembers what we spoke about and remembers my loved ones' names, which I find very thoughtful and nice. After we catch up on life, she asks me what my main concern(s) are currently. I tell her what they are and then she proceeds to guide me through a meditative hypnosis wherein we focus on the topic or person of my choice. From the first session, I felt a weight lifted off my chest. Three sessions after that, I feel more empowered, confident, and peaceful. Meditation is something I have been learning and practicing for a few years. At times during meditation, one can feel vulnerable and fearful. I feel protected and safe when Jessica guides me through a meditation/hypnosis, and that is extremely important for it to be effective. Hypnosis was something I have never done before, but always wanted to try. I have learned in my personal studies that much of our inner healing takes place when we are silent and still. I find that silence to be very healing - even though it's hard sometimes to be still and silent for longer than 5 minutes for someone as restless as me. She guides me through a meditation that I helped create (my happy place is a beautiful beach). She has also guided me through other various hypnotic states. I have learned how to better meditate and visualize whatever results I want. I have also learned how to focus more on gratitude and less on fear-based thought patterns and behaviors. It's hard to describe how helpful meditation and hypnosis are - but I believe they're the best kind of therapy that exist. Jessica is one of the most kind hearted and also professional people I have ever worked with. She has given me tools that I can take with me and use any time in my life. She has a VERY calming presence and voice, and she fluctuates her tone during the hypnosis, which I find to be very pleasant and relaxing. It's safe to say that I recommend Jessica Lin to anyone who is ready to heal whatever is preventing them from living the life of their dreams. Thank you Jessica.

Hi my name is Smita C, but I used my grandmother's name for my Yelp account…read more A friend of mine recommended that I connect with Don (who he said was a "gift") after I told him that I had been struggling with various aspects of my life post-trauma. I did one session to start and then a package of sessions. I first want to say that Don has a very beautiful/peaceful/calm/healing energy and he genuinely cares and wants to help - while empowering you with tools to help yourself (he emphasizes that HE is not doing anything TO YOU which I loved because I have worked with various practitioners and different modalities that create the opposite context where their goal seems to be relying on them to feel good for perpetuity). As I just expressed to Don after we wrapped our final session of the package that this last session felt like this very powerful sum total culmination of all of the sessions before it which, in reflection, felt like seeds that were planted to eventually bloom. & I am mentioning that here so that - if you choose to work with Don - you are patient with the process because each person's experience will be relative to THEM & will depend on so many factors Including the severity of what brought them to seek hypnosis. For me personally... In 2012, I became something I never expected to become (a domestic violence survivor) and I lived through extreme nonstop trauma over seven months followed by 12 years of doing the deep (& often exhausting) healing work that would often make me "feel *good* temporarily" but nothing really ever lasted. As such, I so wish that I could have experienced what I did with Don far earlier in my healing journey, but I am so glad to have had the opportunity now. Don is absolutely a GIFT (I feel so deeply connected to my being one too) and I highly recommend him.
