Prior to recent knee surgery, I sought the services of Real Change Hypnosis to help me address…read morepre-surgery nerves and to accelerate my healing post-surgery. I had successfully used hypnotherapy in the past for an unrelated issue, so I was optimistic that this would make a difference. I am delighted to report that my anxiety was immediately reduced as a result of the sessions, and my healing was frankly a breeze. Certainly I can't claim that it was pain free- some pain was expected, however it was as I visualized it. The doctors were pleased with my early progress , and indicated that hypnosis can indeed impact results. Lisa was a pure professional and the fact that she is a licensed, experienced surgical nurse only added to the experience. I loved the fact that I was sent home with a recording so I could continue on my own both pre and post procedure. I highly recommend Real Change Hypnosis. I plan to engage them again to help me address a long-standing personal goal. Thank you!

I recently started hypnotherapy to help me achieve my weight loss goals and to improve my body…read moreimage. The experience I have had with Lisa has been amazing. My first hypnotherapy session was a little over two months ago and the change in my body image has been so positive. I find I am wearing much more colorful clothing (I used to only wear black), and shopping has become fun again. Lisa made me 2 recordings for the body image, one of which I can drift off to sleep while listening. Recently, I went back to have another session to focus on weight loss. I have lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks. I no longer crave sugar, but instead focus on healthy food and actually crave veggies. Again, she made me a recording so that I can listen over and over again. She also checks in to make sure the recordings are effective and offers to make changes if you feel that you need them. I will admit that I have used hypnosis in the past and had good success (quitting smoking over 17 years ago), so I do know that it works for me. Lisa is a consumate professional. The office is incredibly peaceful and her voice is so melodic. I highly recommend Lisa if you have some goals you want to achieve!

I was referred to Dr. Valerie Hearn by a friend of mine when I was going through a rough patch…read moreyears ago after a break-up with Mr. Wrong. I had tried therapy in the past but didn't get any benefit from the therapist's passive approach. Dr. Hearn was just what I needed. We talked about my childhood and past but didn't dwell on it... right away she helped me focus on the present and developing the tools I needed to get out of my habit of repeating the same relationship over and over again. She is a licensed psychologist who comes from the cognitive behavioral therapy perspective, and I think this approach really clicked for me. She is wonderfully empathetic and caring, but she also offers great wisdom and guidance in dealing with what's happening in your life TODAY. There are several things I learned from her that I will carry with me always. Valerie helped pull me out of a dark place when I first starting seeing her. She coached me through dating and saw me through a new relationship and break-up with Mr. Wrong Part Deux. She was endlessly encouraging as I went through the online dating process. For the first time in my life, I learned to ask for what I needed in a relationship and took responsibility for my actions. I am absolutely convinced that working with Valerie helped me find the way to my current happiness... I found Mr. Right at last, yes on the internet, and am now married with a beautiful baby boy. Of course, my then-boyfriend-now-husband and I did some sessions with Valerie prior to getting married... couples counseling is another one of her many gifts.

Before I started seeing Valerie, I was in the midst of a messy break-up. Although I felt skeptical…read moreabout the benefits of therapy, I knew my life needed a change: Brooding on the bad things, second-guessing myself, wallowing in regret and wondering helplessly about "what might have been" had become exhausting! I was desperate to move on, and take control of my anxieties. Within just a few weeks, Valerie helped me recover the self-confidence and optimism that I once thought the world had beaten out of me for good! She's not only helped me be more assertive socially, she's helped me repair my love life. Furthermore, with her help, I've been getting along with my family better than ever before. What I think I like most about Valerie is that - as other reviewers have mentioned - she's not passive. Sure, she's a good listener, she's attentive, and she's compassionate, but she's also very clear and direct and precise in the way she communicates her understanding of the situation. I leave every session feeling refreshed. Thanks, Valerie!

I remember the first time I realized that she was speaking from experience: the same kind of experiences she was helping me work through. I just thought it was so cool that she had "been there" and offered so much hope by example. Marlene has a wonderful sense of humor and a way of putting people at ease. I love the way she makes me look at things differently. She is warm, compassionate and funny (and really smart). After our first meeting I knew I had chosen my therapist wisely. In our private sessions I find her visualization therapy very helpful. Group sessions are fun. I like that we can be silly and that it isn't all serious. I feel safe and comfortable in group, like I am free to say whatever I need to say.

My wife and I have seeing Dr. Winell for over a year, and we're incredibly happy her having her as…read moreour therapist. We started seeing her to work out a stressful situation we were completely stuck with, and we made rapid improvement with it beginning with the first visit. At different times, she's helped us work out relationship issues, deal with extended family complications, and manage job stress in a positive way. She's been willing to adapt to our needs as they change, and she's helped both of us change to better handle all the things that life throws at us. When we first started seeing Dr. Winell, she guided us though a Relationship Enhancement program that uses structured communication to help ensure that each of is heard and understood when we're talking about stressful topics. She also uses a series of homework assignments, which helped motivate us to apply what we were learning in our busy lives. Many of the communication skills we've learned have been very useful outside our relationship too, and my wife in particular has found that she uses them on the job regularly to great benefit. We've continued working with Dr. Winell well past meeting our original goals, as we found a number of things in our lives that we could improve that we weren't even aware of, as we hadn't been talking about them. One of her goals is to get those who work with her to a point where they can easily talk about any topic, no matter how challenging. Learning to do this has help opened up a new world in our relationship, and I feel like my wife and I are always working together now when we either find a difficult situation or set a new goal for improving our lives.

Having put any career transition on the back burner for YEARS, Stephanie gave me the tools, ideas, and approaches I needed to take action on my life. I'm incredibly grateful for her expertise and sound judgement. There are several attributes of her expertise that I found particularly important to note: - A progressive approach to modifying your existing skill set to creating your dream life, rather than taking steps that seem too drastic - which will ultimately be overwhelming - A kind and complimentary disposition that highlighted my strengths and helped make me feel valuable and confident and deserving of a nourishing professional path - Sparking action based on a series of exercises and steps that removes stress - underscores fearlessness and trying things out to see if they will work I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who feels that their existing professional path lacks purpose.

I wanted to understand dating challenges and difficulties finding a good partner. She seemed insightful at first and she asked a lot of questions, but ultimately they didn't lead to meaningful insight or suggestions. Her APs wound up being fairly generic dating tips. I later realized I needed to get tested for ADD (distinctive symptoms) but this was not something that was ever suggested. I found her to be vaguely patronizing and the CBT negative feedback loop that she suggested didn't seem to really fit the chronic challenges I had. Attempts to express these concerns to her were not successful. I'm now if the opinion that CBT works well for trauma & symptom relief, but less well for more subtle, latent challenges.
