Hypnotherapy4Success Online
A pioneer in the field of distance hypnotherapy and counseling

In the year 2000, when our hypnotherapy sessions were only available in our office at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Tarzana, California, we became aware that there were clients who wanted to use hypnotherapy to achieve their goals but either lived too far away or were house- or office-bound.

Hypnotherapy4Success.com (previously AskEDoc.com) was created to provide a convenient way for those clients to have access to hypnotherapy sessions by telephone or online chat. Hypnotherapy is as effective by telephone or chat as it is in person. A large part of what we do together is to discover your negative or limiting beliefs and blocks. The actual hypnosis is only a part of this valuable technique.

Hypnotherapy4Success is dedicated to making hypnotherapy convenient and accessible no matter what your location. The tools of hypnotherapy are effective for a wide variety of issues:

BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION: emotional overeating, smoking cessation, nail biting, nervous tics, insomnia, compulsive behavior, addictive behavior MEDICAL: pain relief, hypertension, IBS, allergies, hypno-birthing, reducing prescription drug usage PSYCHOLOGICAL: social anxiety, depression, self-esteem, fears and phobias, sexual dysfunction, gender dysphoria, sexual identity ENHANCING PERFORMANCE: test taking, learning, sports, stage, public speaking

Hypnosis Motivation Institute Tarzana, California

In addition to the clients we see locally, we serve many clients across the United States, Canada and internationally via distance hypnotherapy and counseling. Having an office in a physical location should provide reassurance to the online seeker that we have also have a physical location and that the option to see us in the office is always available. This option is only available with those therapists here in Tarzana, California.

The latest additions to our online hypnotherapy practice are the associate hypnotherapists who are joining us. They will be introduced as they become members. Please see Associate Hypnotherapists for a listing of those members of our team. Please contact us if you would like to apply to be an associate.

Clinical hypnotherapy uses a behavioral-cognitive approach along with suggestible hypnotic trance to accelerate positive changes and self-improvement.

No subject is taboo and your CONFIDENTIALITY IS ASSURED BY LAW AND BY PRACTICE.
