Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and imagery to create a state of concentrated awareness. You remain aware and in control during the process.
At Transformations Counseling Group, hypnotherapy is not presented as mind control, a shortcut, or a replacement for counseling. It may be used as one focused tool within therapy when it fits your goals and needs.
The work may focus on automatic reactions, beliefs, images, emotions, or patterns that keep showing up in everyday life. Understanding those patterns matters, but meaningful change also requires practicing different responses outside the session.
Before using hypnosis, your therapist will explain the process, answer questions, review what you want to work on, and discuss whether hypnotherapy appears appropriate for you.
Phobias
Fears
Anxiety
Sleep disorders
Depression
Stress
Post-trauma anxiety
Grief and loss
Sadness and Loneliness

Hypnotherapy is generally used as a complementary approach. That means it may be used alongside standard psychological or medical care rather than replacing treatment that may be needed.
The work is most useful when there is a clear goal and you are willing to actively participate in the process rather than expecting hypnosis to make change happen for you.
At TCG, hypnotherapy may be considered when a client wants to work on anxiety, specific fears, stress, sleep-related difficulties, grief, habits, or other recurring emotional and behavioral patterns.
Hypnotherapy is not appropriate for every person or every concern. Your therapist should discuss fit, expectations, and other treatment options with you before beginning.
If you are experiencing new or unexplained medical symptoms, significant trauma reactions, or another condition requiring medical care, those concerns should also be evaluated by the appropriate healthcare professional.
Before hypnosis begins, your therapist will explain what to expect and review your goals. You can ask questions and decide whether you are comfortable proceeding.
During the process, your therapist may use focused attention, breathing, imagery, repetition, or other guided techniques to help you become more absorbed in the work.
Suggestions or imagery are tied to the goals you discussed. You remain in control and can speak, stop, or redirect the process at any time.
Hypnosis is not stage hypnosis. People generally remain aware of what is happening and do not lose control over their behavior.
Hypnotherapy is one possible tool, not the entire treatment. If it does not fit you or is not helping with the goals you identified, your therapist can discuss other approaches.

An insurance deductible is "The amount you pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay". With a $2,000 deductible, for example, you pay the first $2,000 of covered services yourself before the insurance company will start to reimburse the health care provider. Once a deductible is met, the amount you have to pay for a copay/co-insurance is set by your insurance company. You will need to contact them for the exact amount.
VERIFICATION OF INSURANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE PAYMENT FROM YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY Pay portions are estimates based on the information provided to Transformations Counseling Group, LCSW by the patient and his or her insurance carrier. The patient/guarantor must understand that having an insurance benefit does not guarantee payment. Exact benefits are determined when claims are received by your insurance company. There is no guarantee on our part that claims will be paid. If a claim is denied, the client will be immediately billed for the outstanding amount while the denial is investigated. The insurance carrier makes the final decision as to whether payment will be made after it receives and reviews the claim. Some insurance companies use third-party processors for handling their mental health claims. This may be unknown to us at the time we verify your insurance and the information we receive can be inaccurate. We strongly recommend you check with your insurance provider for further explanation of your coverage. When a client is treated at Transformations Counseling Group, LCSW (TCG), as a courtesy, TCG’s staff contacts the patient’s third-party payor to check insurance eligibility and pre-certification for insurance payment. We do our best to get accurate information but verification doesn't guarantee payment or accuracy. We advise you to call and check with your insurance for your exact plan benefits. Every insurance policy is different. It is recommended that you contact your provider about copayment, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses, and pre-certification requirements. Also, as a courtesy, Transformations Counseling Group. LCSW will bill the client’s insurance carrier for services. The patient/guarantor is responsible for all outstanding balances should the insurance company fail to pay all or any part of the charges. The client’s Financial Counselor must be informed of all insurance coverage prior to the first visit. Any non-payment as a result of the patient’s/guardian’s failure to provide insurance information prior to the first visit is also the patient’s/guarantor's financial responsibility. It is the patient’s/guarantor’s responsibility to ensure that all insurance premiums, dues, and COBRA payments are current throughout the patient’s treatment at Transformations Counseling Group, LCSW PLLC Any costs incurred by the patient/guarantor due to a change in the patient’s insurance policy are the sole responsibility of the patient/guarantor. The patient’s insurance coverage is a contract between the client and an insurance carrier – not between Transformations Counseling Group, LCSW, and the insurance carrier. As such, the patient should be aware that insurance policies often change. It is the client’s sole responsibility to know his or her coverage. Any costs incurred by the patient/guarantor due to a change in the patient’s insurance policy are the sole responsibility of the patient/guarantor.
