Why Traditional Anxiety Therapy Often Falls Short
You’ve probably tried traditional therapy before. Maybe you’ve spent months talking about your mental health, understanding where it comes from, and learning coping strategies. While these approaches have value, they often work too slowly for people who need relief now.
The problem with traditional anxious arousal therapy:
* Focuses only on conscious thoughts, not subconscious patterns—traditional psychotherapy may not address unresolved issues from the past that continue to impact your emotional well-being
* It often takes months or years to show significant results
* Psychotherapy teaches you to “manage” stress responses rather than eliminate it
* Often creates dependency on weekly sessions
How Hypnosis for Anxiety and Related Disorders is Different and Creates Lasting Change:
“Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often used to reduce anxiety and stress.”— American Psychological Association
Hypnosis:
Works directly with the subconscious mind where anxiety patterns live, helping you heal from the past and move beyond the struggle of simply managing symptoms.
Provides relief often within the first session.
Teaches you self-hypnosis tools for immediate anxiety relief.
Creates lasting change by reprogramming automatic responses.
You might be asking yourself: “Does hypnosis even work for anxiety?”
The answer- yes, absolutely! Just as PubMed's articles how hypnosis helps with this disorder, it’s amazing to help people dramatically reduce anxiety, both in the moment, and to reduce overall anxiety. In fact, it’s the number #1 reason people come to me.
And, all are thrilled by the results! You can see for yourself, or find out more by setting up one of those free “Feel Better Fast Strategy Sessions”.

What Kind of Therapy is Best for Anxiety?
This is one of the most common questions people ask when searching for anxiety therapy near me. The answer depends on your specific situation, but research consistently shows that approaches addressing both conscious and subconscious patterns are most effective.
Hypnotherapy ranks among the most effective anxiety treatments** because it:**
* Accesses the subconscious mind where anxiety responses are stored
* Provides both immediate relief and long-term solutions
* Works without side effects or medication
* Teaches self-regulation skills you can use anywhere
* Often produces results faster than traditional therapy alone
(See Alfred Barrio’s meta-analysis at Harvard showing 93% improvement after just
Other effective anxiety therapies include:
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - works well combined with hypnotherapy
* EMDR - particularly effective for trauma-related anxiety
* Exposure therapy - helpful for specific phobias. With hypnotherapy, this is done in an empowering and gentle way, helping the client develop tools that work just for them (while decreasing at a subconscious level the power that any fears holds over them).
* Mindfulness-based approaches - complement hypnosis beautifully
Services are available for adults, children, and teens, and a qualified therapist can help address a wide range of issues including hypervigilance and fear around relationships, inability to connect with others socially, and even weight loss.
The best therapy for you is one that addresses your specific type of stress responses and fits your learning style and comfort level. Therapy can also help you navigate life's challenges and improve your relationships.
Creating a Personalized Treatment Plan for Anxiety
Listen, here's the thing about anxiety—no two people experience it the same way, and honestly, that's totally okay. At my San Diego wellness practice, I get that your story is uniquely yours. That's why- as a therapist- I am committed to creating a treatment plan that actually fits you—not some cookie-cutter approach. Because here's what I believe: real healing starts when someone truly gets your story, your struggles, and what you're hoping for. And trust me, you can absolutely break free from that emotional pain and find your peace again.
From the moment you walk through the doors (or hop on a video call), you're going to feel the difference that real expertise mixed with genuine care can make. Your first appointment? In a supportive environment, it's designed to help you feel safe, heard, and completely understood—no judgment, just support. Together, we'll dig into whatever you're dealing with—whether it's anxious thoughts, depression, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, self-harm, or compulsive behaviors—and we'll create a plan that actually works with your life, not against it.
Here's how we approach things: we blend the best of talk therapy, hypnotherapy, and powerful techniques like eye movement desensitization (EMDR) to get to both the surface stuff and the deep, subconscious roots of anxiety. As you move through your sessions, as a clinical hypnotherapist, I will help you spot and release those limiting beliefs that have been holding you back, build some seriously effective coping skills, and discover methods and systems you can actually use in real life. This whole process of self-discovery and getting to know yourself better? That's where the magic happens—not just managing symptoms, but actually healing at a below-the-surface-level that lasts.
For example, many of my San Diego clients who arrive feeling trapped by relentless mental health challenges like worry or panic attacks are surprised by how quickly hypnosis sessions help them regain a sense of balance and control, even after other methods felt ineffective. Often, transforming deep-rooted anxious patterns can be life-changing in just a few focused sessions.
Whether you're more of an in-person-therapy type and want to come to one of my San Diego locations, or you prefer the convenience of virtual sessions from your couch, you'll find a supportive space where you can grow, heal, and finally feel like you're in the driver's seat of your life. My team is here to walk alongside you every single step of the way, offering the guidance, compassion, and expertise you need to tackle whatever life throws at you and create both a present and future filled with hope and possibility.
If you're ready to take that next step on your healing journey, I'd love to have you schedule your initial consultation today. Let's work together to help you break free from anxiety, discover who you really are underneath all that worry, and create the lasting change you absolutely deserve.
What is the 3 3 3 Rule for Anxiety?
The 3-3-3 rule is one of several grounding techniques that helps interrupt anxiety spirals.
Here's how it works:
The basic 3-3-3 rule: As soon as feelings of anxiety start to rise:
* Name 3 things you can see around you
* Identify 3 sounds you can hear in your environment
* Move 3 parts of your body (wiggle fingers, roll shoulders, etc.)
This easy technique works by grounding you in the present moment and interrupting the anxious thought patterns that fuel panic.
Once you've interrupted the anxious thoughts, you now have the presence of mind to use other even-more-powerful tools like self-hypnosis to stop the anxiety in its tracks and give you a sense of personal power and control over your emotions, and over the things that tend to trigger anxious thoughts and feelings.
How I enhance the 3-3-3 rule with hypnotherapy:
Teach you calming self-hypnosis
The hypnosis then decreases the power any triggers or fears used to have over you
This creates a growing sense of personal power
You have personalized grounding anchors to call on when you need them
I help you to install the healing and grounding at a deep, subconscious level, and you further enhance that through self-hypnosis
When you combine all of the above with breathing and visualization, you'll have a very-powerful combination that results in dramatically-reduced anxiety
Note: Most people find that after going through hypnotherapy, learning & using self-hypnosis techniques, then the 3-3-3 technique is far more-powerful and works much faster!
