After the initial phone consultation, an in-person meeting will be arranged, for 60 minutes. During this session you’ll be able to discuss in more depth what brings you into therapy, and you will have an opportunity to experience hypnosis, should you choose to do so. After the initial session, usually weekly, 60 minute sessions are recommended for a few weeks. In some cases, 90 minute sessions are of greater benefit.

Number of sessions
Many clients start to experience relief after the first session. From there, how many sessions you will need or want varies greatly. Many clients continue to come in weekly for several weeks, months, or even for a year or more, depending on the issues and how deeply they want to work. The use of such tools as self-hypnosis, listening to individualized recordings, and other “at-home-work” between sessions can greatly speed up the healing process and integrate the changes in your life more quickly.
