Many of the people who find their way to my practice are thoughtful, self-aware individuals navigating the long-term impact of childhood trauma, emotional neglect, anxiety, or complex relationship patterns. On the outside, life may look functional—even successful—but internally something still feels unresolved. My work focuses on helping adults heal these deeper patterns using experiential and trauma-informed therapies, including Body-Centered Gestalt Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also provide preparation and integration support for psychedelic-assisted therapy in MO and legally facilitated psilocybin work in OR & CO.

The diversity of the populations I work with include children, adolescents, adults, couples, LGBTQIA, veterans, and families.

You understand why you feel the way you do, but you still can't seem to change it. Your mind may know you're safe, yet your body stays on edge. You may find yourself repeating painful relationship patterns, questioning your needs, or exhausted from being so hard on yourself.

Sometimes the root of the patterns keeping you stuck live deeper– in your nervous system, body, subconscious, and protective relationship habits.

Through hypnotherapy, I help you transform habits, emotions, and well-being.
Hypnosis is not mind control— "it’s a natural state of deep focus that helps you gain greater control over your mind and body".

Hypnosis can sharpen study habits, reduce stress, boost self-esteem, and help manage appetite, sleep, or anxiety. When challenges feel overwhelming, hypnosis offers a faster, more comfortable path to positive change. Unlock your potential today.

For trauma or PTSD, EMDR or Clinical Hypnotherapy can aid healing.
I’m Bev Riley, and for over 26 years I’ve helped adults navigate trauma, anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, addiction, and the emotional challenges that come with major life transitions such as relationship conflict, divorce, loss, and identity shifts.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and capable, but still feel stuck. They may understand why they struggle, yet feel overwhelmed by anxiety, avoidance, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or self-doubt. My approach begins with a simple reframe: nothing is wrong with you. What you’re experiencing makes sense. Your nervous system adapted to protect you.

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.
