My Experience

I was born and raised in Los Angeles County, CA. I got my psychology degree in 1978, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, with additional studies in neuroscience and physiology. Since then, and to this day, I have continued to read hundreds of books on relatable subjects in order to stay up to date on the most effective psychological techniques and results.

Whatever it is you're going through, whether it be mentally, emotionally or physically, if you were to Google search it you would find CBT to be at the top of the list of therapies. CBT is the fastest and most effective form of therapy to date.

I eventually studied hypnosis for 10 months at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Tarzana California which was conveniently right down the street from my home because I hate driving, graduating in 2000, costing me, by the way, $10,000 for the course.

It was 5 years after I graduated from HMI that YouTube was created, and I eventually noticed anyone can learn basic hypnosis techniques from watching YouTube videos for free. I should have waited, right? 

Be aware that a typical hypnotist that does not have a medical background should keep their techniques strictly for comedy and entertainment purposes and leave the serious mental, emotional and physical issues to us real medical professionals.

It was in 2020, during the covid crisis, that I moved 140 miles north of Los Angeles, above Bakersfield, in order to care for my aging parents who have since passed away. This was when I retired so that I could spend all my time caring for my parents in their final days. It was then that I also began to offer virtual hypnosis to my existing LA clients as well as new clients anywhere.

I can now offer you virtual hypnosis sessions for only $100 per session, your first session being free, using MEET which is already on Android phones or my second favorite which is WhatsApp, or whichever video platform you prefer.

If you prefer to have a retired psychologist to talk with, then we can talk through text, emails or even occasional phone calls, for a very small fee per full day. And again, your first day being free. This very small fee for a full day is especially important for teenagers who need a professional to talk with, but can't afford it. 

Just remember that since I retired, I am no longer licensed or insured and can still help you, just not under a medical title. You can now consider me a consultant with 42 years of therapeutic experience as shown on my business card above.

Payment is through PayPal and you'll never have to pay until you are completely satisfied with your results. Just wait a few days after our session and if you felt I was helpful in our talks or a hypnosis session, then and only then you can pay me. I dare any professional therapist or hypnotist to offer the same.

I don't kiss and tell, as the old saying goes. My clients, both individual and corporate, are kept confidential. Not even my closest friends know who my clients are or their issues, which is why you don't see testimonials on my website.
