Hypnosis

As part of my focus on helping clients overcome unwanted behavioral patterns that are resistant to change, I have been trained in the art of Hypnosis, an under utilized and often misunderstood modality.

Please visit my Berkshire Hypnosis Works website to learn more about this valuable tool, which can also be extremely useful in the psychotherapeutic setting.

I received my training in hypnosis through the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis, the largest U. S. organization for health and mental health care professionals using clinical hypnosis. Founded by Milton H. Erickson, MD in 1957, ASCH promotes greater acceptance of hypnosis as a clinical tool with broad applications. ASCH is unique among organizations for professionals using hypnosis. Members must be licensed healthcare workers and, at a minimum, have obtained a master’s degree.

ASCH membership is primarily made up of psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors, medical doctors, masters-level nurses, dentists and chiropractors. As an interdisciplinary organization, ASCH provides an opportunity to learn from and interact with colleagues in other health and mental health care disciplines. This allows for a cross fertilization of ideas and applications that meshes neatly with current trends, such as mind-body health and integrative medicine.
