Cynthia is simply AMAZING!…read more Here's our story: My husband and I both suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, which in some cases results in depression. The on set of my anxiety was when I truly started to grieve the loss of my mom in 2007. My husband couldn't finger point where his started . We've both been on numerous anti- anxiety/ depressants . I've had the occurrence of suicidal thoughts etc, on these medications. My husbands Dr. Recently put him on Wellbutrin. It made him mean and angry, I could see the anger in his face. A side of effect of this medication : FITS OF RAGE!!! We were recently married in July and took our honeymoon in Sept. With our family to our time share in Cabo. We planned for 7 days in paradise, making memories with the people we love. Well this was cut short to my husbands severe panic attack on day 3. He could not get out of bed, he said his body was hurting all over, he was vomiting, and crying because of the pain. As his wife I felt so helpless because there was nothing I could do. My bestfriend was in so much pain and all I could do was hold it together for him. We got on a plane that day(Saturday) and came home. We found Cynthia on The Thumbtack app!!! We made an appt the following Thursday for hypnotherapy. The very first time my husband met with Cynthia he said he felt so much better, he felt relief. After some discussion with my husband, I decided to meet with Cynthia as well. As I stated above she is AMAZING! Her office is cute, comfy and so relaxing. If you suffer from anything , from something as simple as feeling not great about yourself to severe panic attacks like my husband. GO SEE HER!!! Grateful husband and wife!!! Nick and Lanet

I always come back from an immersion feeling like I have what I needed, never wishing I had asked another question. Even if I didn't ask the question, she seems to be aligned with what we needed to hear. She also has a great sense of humor, which is always important to me :) I look forward to continuing this journey!

I know hypno-theraphy isn't widely known or often considered an option in healthcare today. (When I first tried it years ago, I stumbled upon it, I certainly did not consider it a viable option for counseling.) I am here to tell you, it is! I experienced it years ago through counseling I did after a divorce, then sought it out recently for weight issues which is how I found Diane Edwards. She is fantastic! If you have any type of hang up that you can't seem to conquer or wrap your brain around, Call Diane! She is thoughtful, caring, kind, experienced and the very best in her field. The email I sent to Diane after a few sessions: "Hi Diane, I wanted to write to tell you I have been feeling really good about my body for the last couple of days.

I have had more peace with myself over this last week than I have had in a while.  I haven't weighed myself so Idk if I've lost weight or not but I like what I see in the mirror (more than I have in a long time) and I think my clothes are fitting looser. I can't thank you enough!

It was nice that Dr. Sidwell had such a wide range of experience, depending on my situation we could switch from talk therapy to implementing hypnotherapy, helping me release some of my trauma. I was impressed by how calm he was for our sessions, it was comforting to have his guidance throughout compacted traumatic events in my life, big changes in my life, and breakthroughs. I am thankful for the skills that he taught me to use on my own independently as well. Not only that but his office is cool and welcoming, the chair is cozy and I enjoy my visits to the space. Great art to look at that Allen made himself which is really impressive. I would highly recommend Allen Sidwell for therapy and I am thankful to the one friend who recommended his work to me!

Instead of asking you questions she talks a lot about the way she thinks you feel instead of asking you to explain deeper what it is you are feeling. Doing so, during my hypnotherapy session she focused on all the wrong things.

You really don't need 6 sessions for everything mind you. I just really don't suggest her. If you want a good hypnotherapist, go to Marla Brucker in Clairmont. She got me to quit smoking after 1 session! I have been smoke free for almost a year now!

She has an incredible ability to help you figure out where certain feelings, emotions, and patterns are coming from and gently get to things that may be buried much deeper than you realize. She has helped me work through past traumas and issues that I didn't even know I was still carrying. I've learned so much about myself through the process and have been able to work through things that were affecting me without me even realizing it. She is warm, compassionate, intuitive, and truly amazing at what she does. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy or simply wants to better understand themselves and work through things that may be holding them back.

I very rarely write reviews, but I felt it was important to share my experience so others can do…read moretheir own research and make an informed decision. I purchased a three-session hypnotherapy package for $780. During our first appointment, we discussed what was currently happening in my life, including the fact that I had recently sold my house. During that first session, Nikki also strongly encouraged me to purchase her book. I ended up buying it for $20 even though I almost never purchase physical books and use Audible instead. The book itself is not the main issue for me, but in hindsight it contributed to my overall discomfort with how frequently additional purchases and services seemed to come up. My primary concern occurred during my second session. While I was still under hypnosis, Nikki discussed the possibility of my daughter seeing her as well. She told me my daughter and I could share a package and went through different package options and prices with me, including one that was approximately $2,500. I am completely certain I was still under hypnosis during this conversation. I distinctly remember Nikki counting me back out afterward, and I remember the end of the appointment feeling rushed because we had gone over time. This was not a conversation that happened after the hypnosis portion of the session had ended. At the time, I did not fully process how uncomfortable the situation made me. The following day, I told my regular therapist exactly what had happened. That conversation caused me to take a much closer look at the experience and recognize how uncomfortable I felt about financial decisions and additional services being discussed while I was under hypnosis. I later brought my concerns directly to Nikki. She disagreed with my recollection of what occurred. I explained why the experience had affected my trust and why I no longer felt comfortable continuing. I asked Nikki for a full refund of the $780 package because I did not feel the sessions had helped me and, in fact, I was left feeling worse than I did before seeing her. She refused to provide a full refund. What was especially upsetting to me was that she would not refund me for the second session either, despite that being the session in which, according to my recollection, time while I was under hypnosis was used to discuss additional packages, pricing, and potentially bringing my daughter in as a client. I was only refunded for the unused final session. What has been most upsetting is that I sought hypnotherapy because I genuinely wanted help. Instead, I am now left feeling that I wasted my time and money, with additional trust issues that I am having to work through with my regular therapist, and more than $400 that I will never get back. There are many practitioners available, so please do your research and be very clear about boundaries, financial conversations, and what you are comfortable agreeing to before beginning hypnotherapy. Based on my personal experience, I would simply say: beware, ask questions, and trust your instincts if something does not feel right. I truly wish my experience had been different. I am sharing this because I believe people should have as much information as possible before deciding who they trust with something as vulnerable as hypnotherapy.
