Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy helps both children and adults.  Here are some challenges that have been resolved with hypnotherapy.

Children:    (Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or a designated adult who remains with the child during the entire appointment.  I look forward to discussing your child's challenge and working with you and them as a team to help them do better, be better and feel better!)

Family:     New Sibling, Sibling Rivalry, Separation/Divorce/Remarriage,
                Moving, Death of family member or other loved one.

A few endorsements from parents:

"My son, James, who is in the 3rd grade, was having terrible anxiety with the MCAS exam at school.  After 2 sessions with Dorothea, in which I attended both sessions, James is much more relaxed at school and has no anxiety when taking a test".  Sincerely, J.C.


"Both of my children have been greatly helped by Dorothea. 
Tommy, age 10, was frightened about getting a tetanus shot.  After only 2 sessions in hypnosis, Tommy actually watched the needle go into his arm, with a calm expression on his face.  No fears, no tears.

Helen, age 8, had to have both eye-teeth removed at the same time.  She had only 1 session with Dorothea prior to the morning appointment.  Helen called Dorothea when we left the dentist's office to tell her she was going right back to school because she felt great!"     Gratefully, J.D.

A few endorsements from clients:

"Thank you for taking the time to listen and talk to me today, as well as to give me the hypnosis session.  I feel better than I have for a long time, and I did not expect that as an effect of the session."  P.W. 

"I was surprised how Dorothea listened and asked the right questions to understand my personality in such a short amount of time".  F.G.

"After smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for over 35 years, I was able, in only 1 appointment with Dorothea, to quit smoking.  I have been a non-smoker for over a year" Thank you!  L.D.

"Dorothea's depth of skill and caring comes through during the hypnotherapy sessions that I have had with her.  I really appreciate that she dispels the myths that often accompany this modality of healing and breaks it down to the science that it is.  She is a wealth of information and experience,  Through Dorothea, I have healed past traumas and have been better equipped to solve problems that get in the way of living the life that I want.  There is still work for me to do, but I find that the sessions with Dorothea help me to find thr internal resources to do this work."  Y.K.
