Hypnotherapists in Los Angeles, CA
I am trained in Internal Family Systems, Holographic Memory Resolution, Eriksonian Hypnotherapy, Somatic Experience, Reiki, Ayurveda and Yoga, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Buddhist Psychology, Meditation and traditional psychotherapeutic approaches.
Because I've been blessed with life-changing mentors in my life, I can pass the sum of their wisdom on to you, along with my own. Therapy is a healing process that happens through our shared connection and your expanding awareness. It requires a safe place, where truth is expressed and pain is transformed. Typically we meet suffering with distractions, intoxication or denial. When we find a way to experience emotional sobriety, our relationships with ourselves and others can heal. Loss, trauma, emotional intoxication and shame are common issues that breed secondary problems. We’ll approach them with skill, compassion and courage.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (to explore how "what we tell ourselves" shapes how we feel and what we do) and hypnotherapy (to help you achieve deep relaxation to reinforce your change goals).
Hi, I’m Dr. Alejandra Acuña. I'm here to help you find relief, heal, grow, and achieve your goals. You’re a high-achieving professional who’s deeply committed to your work, yet you find yourself exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling to set boundaries. You feel the weight of stress, unprocessed trauma, and self-doubt, and no matter how much you give, it never feels like enough. You want to reclaim your energy, set healthy boundaries, heal from past experiences, and step into the life you truly want. Email me to get started.

I work through Somatic Experiencing, therapeutic touch, hypnotherapy & breathwork.
I have worked with people through their bodies, minds, and souls for more than 25 years. My focus is in Somatic-Depth work. Depth Psychology looks at what is going on deeper than thoughts and behaviors. Somatic Psychology brings respect for what the body has experienced, and for its wisdom. Somatic and Depth together reclaim psychology from behavioralism—-restoring a reverence for the soul. I work in a way that is gentle and deeply respectful. Together, we will listen for what is asking to heal and use modalities that support the body, brain, nervous system, heart, and soul to come into the present moment, balance, and strength.

I practice a unique combination of counseling and hypnotherapy.
There are 4 main areas of my therapy work: 1. Personal transformation and improving life; 2. Life change or specific issues (anxiety, trauma, insecurity, relationships, anger, guilt, self-criticism, codependency, and others); 3. Psychosomatic symptoms (physical symptoms and underlying emotional issues); 4. Continuous client support

Regarding subconscious work I utilize EMDR, Written Exposure Therapy, and Hypnotherapy.
I do not not practice a one-size-fits-all type of therapy (this true for life coaching too). I know it can be difficult to begin a journey of healing-we all want to live a life full of passion, personal happiness, and career success. Yet, trauma and negative patterns, or what I call Tender Spots in the body, and soul can keep us from living our best life. Working with me will not just be about therapy, it will be about connection-to yourself (new self-schemas), connection to your thoughts (bygone those negative thinking patterns!), and a renewed connection to your environment (new world-schemas).

I also incorporate clinical hypnotherapy and somatic awareness practices to help alleviate anxiety, overcome limiting beliefs, manage stress effectively, and chart a path forward toward healing, resilience, and personal transformation.

Together, we can create a safe, shame-free space to explore and understand your feelings, the underlying causes of your struggles, examine challenging relationship patterns, enhance self-awareness, and foster self-compassion.

I have taught at HMI College of Hypnotherapy as a senior-staff instructor since 2015 and received the 2018 Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Private Practice of Hypnotherapy.
I have two decades of experience in the behavioral sciences as a clinician and educator. Over the years my approach to clients has evolved from psychotherapy to creative problem-solving. I have found that many clients struggle not necessarily with “mental disorders” but with ineffective mental strategies. The mind doesn’t come with a user’s manual. But you can learn to use your mind. The mind is the user-interface for your neurosomatic (brain-body) system, similar to the screen of an iPhone or computer. Although we have limitless potential, we need the proper apps (mental strategies) to utilize that potential.

HypnoTherapy
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behavior change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognizing a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotized. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotized may not respond to the technique because of their skepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviors like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
