You have appeared ok, but deep inside stressed for quite a while. You have thought about therapy, but either mental health is too much a topic to face, or you find it too hard to find a therapist who can really understand your culture and speak your language.

Hypnosis is not controlling people, as is often depicted in the movies. Hypnosis is an effective scientific technique that puts your brain function at a maximum level to help you best solve your troubled issues. In a subconscious/hypnotized state, you can recall any information even though it is deeply buried in your mind. With your subconscious mind, you can simply understand information that is given to you better than ever. Your subconscious mind gives the strongest support to your own will to overcome dieting or quitting smoking. It works, so I shifted my career to an emphasis on hypnotherapy.

Psychotherapy is a process that facilitates change, growth and renewal. There are many concerns that may bring us to therapy: a difficult relationship, a general feeling of dissatisfaction, a life transition, a traumatic experience, gender/sexual orientation issues, immigration, feelings of depression, anxiety or loss.

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." ~Aristotle~ Talking about your struggles with your close friends and family members can be helpful. But, often, additional support and outside perspective also can help you view those issues in a new light and gain deeper understanding of your challenges. My therapeutic work focuses on what each person wants to achieve through therapy. Some strive to reduce anxiety and lift depression. Others seek therapeutic help for non-mental issues and everyday concerns such as relationships, work, low self-esteem, and dissatisfaction in life.

I welcome your interest and courage to search for a psychotherapist to work on the challenges you have in your daily life. I look forward to work together to help you explore, confront and transform the difficulties you have. There are reasons that you are experiencing the challenges and we can explore them together to see clearly where they are coming from and how they might be unconsciously impeding you from changes or reaching your goals. Changes are more likely to occur when this happens.
