    Set Yourself Up for 
 Success with Hypnosis

Most of our clients achieve success  largely because we limit our practice at ChangeWorks Hypnosis Center.

Are you ChangeWorks' next success story?

We don't work with clients:

•  Who want to passively have someone "fix" them.

•  Who are looking for a short-term boost rather than a long-term solution.

•  Who are "on the fence" about getting their problem solved.

We look forward to working with you if:

•  You're ready to actively participate in getting your goal accomplished.

•  You're ready to learn and change to achieve your outcome.

•  You want a natural, drug-free solution to your issue.

 

"Hypnosis is a form of highly focused attention. It's actually a way of enhancing people's control." - Dr. David Spiegel Stanford University Newsweek, 9/04

• Five session packages are appropriate for pain control/relief work and ADD/ADHD and High Functioning Autism work.
• Packages of 7 sessions (ore more) are appropriate for longer term weight release work and more involved issues (as jointly determined in consultation).

Medically related issues may be eligible for insurance reimbursement.

Do we take insurance?  No, although some insurance programs, wellness plans and HSAs will reimburse you for hypnosis services.  You will need to contact your program administrator for your coverage details. However, before you use your insurance, you should be aware of the risks, hidden costs and confidentiality issues involved.  For a thorough explanation, please click and read here:  Do you take insurance?

LONGER TERM COACHING: Reduced rates are available for clients desiring longer term engagements which is typical for work such as significant weight loss or long term mental conditioning work for athletics or other issues.  Call to discuss individualized rates for these types of situations.

All packages must be paid in full on the initial session to qualify for the discount, otherwise they will be treated as single sessions and billed accordingly. Unused package sessions are non-refundable, but can be transferred to others.

HealthPartners® Insureds:  Save 20% off the above rates (single session as well as packages and group rates) through the HealthPartners® Healthy Discounts Program.

How Effective is Hypnosis? A Direct Cost Comparison A Survey of Psychotherapy Literature by Alfred A. Barrios, PhD. Revealed the Following Recovery Rates: Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions (source: Alfred A. Barrios, PhD) The per session cost of these services is very comparable; on average $150-$250 per session, depending on the provider and area of the country.  Taking the lower side of the range, at $150 per session, the cost comparison to receive the study's reported levels of recovery: Psychoanalysis:  $150 x 600 sessions = $90,000 Behavior Therapy: $150 x 22 sessions = $3,300 Hypnotherapy:  $150 x 6 sessions = $930 Even with insurance coverage, you can see that your co-pay to achieve the levels of recovery as reported by this meta-analysis study can easily be well above that of the direct cost of hypnotherapy.  And this does not take into account that the rate of recovery is significantly higher in a much shorter course of sessions with hypnotherapy. In case you find the concept of 600 sessions of psychoanalysis out of the norm, we have worked with many people who, prior to coming to hypnotherapy, had traditional therapy once a week or once every other week for 5 years and even as much as 8 years.  Eight years of therapy sessions weekly is 416 sessions! At a typical $20 co-pay, that's an out-of-pocket investment of $8,320.

 




























Policies:

When you make an appointment that time period will be reserved for you, and for you only. We do not
over-book in case of cancellations and rescheduled appointments. If you need to cancel an appointment, we ask for 24 hours advance notice. If you don't cancel with at least 24 hours notice, or simply no-show, please understand that not only results in lost income to me, but wastes a session that could have been used by someone else.

We charge $90 for last-minute cancellations and no-shows (genuine medical emergencies excepted, of course).
