Youth & Teen Hypnotherapy
OUR Approach
Helping children and teenagers navigate school anxiety, behavioral challenges, and social stress. Our hypnotherapy sessions are completely adapted to your child’s unique needs, personality, and comfort level. I teach young people how to "master their own minds," combining hypnotic subconscious rewiring with real-world emotional regulation.
Navigating the Waters Together
With 25 years of experience as a hypnotherapist
alongside a lifetime of martial arts practice as a 7th-degree Kung Fu Master, and Tai chi, with a foundational background as a former special education educator my approach goes beyond standard therapy.
This isn't about controlling your child or teenager, it is about giving them the ultimate tools of self-mastery, focus, and confidence that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. We help your child build unbreakable self-esteem, focus, and emotional resilience.
Growing up today takes a different kind of strength. It requires mental discipline, focus, and the ability to stay calm under immense pressure.
We specialize in helping young people conquer:
Anxiety & Overwhelm: Teaching them how to find their "inner calm" (like the stillness of Tai Chi) to quiet test anxiety and school stress.
Behavioral Challenges: Using specialized educational insight to root out the source of emotional outbursts or stubborn habits, replacing them with self-discipline.
Social & Peer Pressure: Building a rock-solid foundation of confidence so they can stand tall and resist negative influences.
Focus & Athletic Performance: Helping young athletes and students clear out mental blocks, develop razor-sharp focus, and perform at their peak.
Helping your child build unbreakable self-esteem, focus, and emotional resilience.
When you bring your child to Timpanogos Hypnotherapy, you can rest assured that:
You will find deep empathy and patience: My years in special education taught me that every child heals and grows at their own pace. There is no judgment here only a safe, supportive space.
We deeply understand behavioral patterns and learning differences: I recognize that your child’s mind is unique. I understand how different minds process emotions, stress, and anxiety, allowing me to connect with them on their level.
Sessions are never "one-size-fits-all": Every single hypnotherapy session is completely adapted to how your specific child thinks, learns, and feels. We tailor the tools to fit their unique personality.

-
Yes, it is completely safe, gentle, and highly effective. In fact, children and teens are often the best candidates for hypnotherapy because their imaginations are vibrant and their subconscious minds are incredibly adaptable. Drawing from my extensive background in Special Education, every youth session is tailored strictly to their developmental level, ensuring they feel entirely safe, supported, and respected throughout the entire process.
-
Generally, children ages 7 and up get the most out of our structured sessions. At this age, they can follow along with stories, mental imagery, and relaxation exercises. For teenagers, the approach shifts to match their growing need for independence, focusing heavily on quieting school anxiety, building self-esteem, and mastering their emotional responses.
-
Not at all. One of the greatest benefits of my approach is that it bypasses the need for endless, uncomfortable talk therapy. Your child won't be forced to dissect old traumas or replay stressful events if they don't want to. Instead, we work with the brain's natural hardwiring to release physical tension (somatic relief) and gently update how their subconscious handles stress, allowing them to heal without feeling interrogated.
-
For the initial consultation and the first part of our setup, absolutely! We want everyone to feel comfortable. However, for the actual subconscious rewiring portion, children and teenagers typically achieve much deeper focus and better results when they have a private, dedicated space to open up without worrying about their parent's immediate reactions. We will establish a plan together during our first meeting that makes both you and your child feel completely secure.
-
Because we combine gentle hypnotherapy with behavioral insights and calming mind-body discipline, we can help young people navigate a wide range of challenges, including:
Academic, social, and test-taking anxiety
Deep-seated habits (like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, or hair-pulling)
Disruptive emotional outbursts and low self-esteem
Sleep issues and nighttime fears
