As a Certified Medical-Support Clinical Hypnotherapist, I use hypnosis to encourage positive changes in a person’s thoughts, emotions and actions. I work with busy professionals looking for a collaborative approach to breaking the “bad” mental habits that may be holding them back from achieving a life and career they love.

If you are working in a high-pressure job, there may be several parts of your life and career, such as obtaining your license, that could benefit from hypnotherapy services.

Working together, I can help you focus on your career development and work-life balance. Through a holistic approach to your success, we will collaborate through a series of private sessions that incorporate both hypnotherapy and coaching techniques. Be sure to check out my philosophy page to find out about The Licensed LifeTM concept.

Working with me is a cooperative process.

I choose to lead collaborative hypnotherapy sessions with my clients because it is a focused tool that doesn’t require excessively long-term commitments or endless weekly sessions.

Individual personalized sessions may be longer than other modalities at 90 to 120 minutes but generally are fewer in number before you start to see change – as long as you continue to practice for a few minutes each day.  

Most packages are 3 to 12 sessions per area of focus depending on my client’s goal(s). Hypnotherapy works best when we focus on one goal, or aspect of The Licensed Life, at a time, and often work in one area benefits others. 

How to get started with Melisa Sharpe Hypnotherapy ...

 

  1. Read the are we a fit page.

  2. Understand that hypnotherapy works as a complement to traditional healthcare, not as a replacement. If you are currently under the care of a medical professional for physical and/or mental health conditions, I will ask you for a release from your doctor and/or therapist, especially if your goals for hypnotherapy involve support for ongoing treatments. 

  3. Confirm that you are not taking any psychotropic medications, have no substance addiction, and are willing to avoid intoxicants (e.g. pot, alcohol) before, during or immediately after sessions.

  4. Sign up for a free consultation so we can get to know each other a bit more. You can ask any questions you have about hypnotherapy and working with me.  If we both decide to move forward, we will begin the intake process. If you would like to move forward to take time to think about it, no pressure, just let me know when to follow up with you.

  5. I will send you your participation agreement when you decide to move forward.

  6. Once you have submitted your paperwork, I will send you an invoice for your first session - you can pay via Zelle, credit card or ACH. I work on a sliding scale, if this resonates with you, please reach out. After payment is received, I will send you a link to schedule your first session.  I do not bill clients on a per-hour basis, but on a per session basis, that is more solution and experience focused.

 

Introductory Session Rate: $180

 

Your approximately 2-hour intro session is a great opportunity for you to experience hypnosis before committing to additional sessions.

 

  • Your intro session includes education on how hypnosis works, and we will co-create therapeutic suggestions and imagery to help you reach your goal.
  • I will then guide you in and out of the hypnotic state a few times.  This should feel very empowering and relaxing.
  • At the end of your intro session, I will record your self-hypnosis portion (about 5-10 minutes) and send it to you via a secure download link within the next 24 hours. This is your homework for the next week or so.
  • If we both would like to continue to work together after this, we will discuss a custom set of sessions focused on your prioritized goals and vision.
