Trusted care for stress, pain, and the habits holding you back
Trusted care for stress, pain, and the habits holding you back
For nearly three decades, I've helped people calm anxious feelings, ease chronic pain, and break unwanted habits. Results like these are why doctors, nurses, and therapists not only refer their patients to me, but choose me for their own care. Sessions are conducted by video from the privacy of your home. Questions? Call or text (913) 999-5819 or email me.

Meet Harley
I'm an award-winning hypnotherapist and the developer of Placebo-Enhanced Hypnotic Intervention™, a method that blends the science of expectation with the power of suggestion. But effective hypnosis isn't only about technique. It's about connection, trust, and genuine care. I take time to understand the root causes of your concerns and tailor every session to you.

Hypnosis FAQs
Hypnosis is a technique that induces a state of relaxation and focused attention, making the mind highly open to beneficial suggestions. In this state, you can reframe negative thoughts and limiting beliefs, essentially rewiring unhelpful patterns into healthier ones. By promoting calmness and using positive suggestions to shift your perceptions, hypnosis often enhances overall well-being and serves as a valuable tool for positive change.
Yes. Hypnosis is safe when practiced by a qualified professional. Unlike pharmacological interventions or invasive treatments, hypnotherapy encourages you to become an active participant in your healing, providing practical tools and strategies for long-term success.
Don't worry if you think you can't be hypnotized. What really matters is your willingness to give it a try and stay open-minded. If you're genuinely interested and want to make a change, you can benefit from hypnosis.
I recommend starting with a series of three sessions. While many clients notice meaningful changes after their first visit, research shows that results are stronger and last longer with multiple sessions. I encourage clients to return whenever additional support would be helpful.
My fee is $150 for a one-hour session, or $300 for a three-session package. I accept credit, debit, FSA, and HSA cards. Sessions are self-pay, and I do not accept insurance. There are no hidden costs, no surprise charges, and no additional fees of any kind.
Hypnotherapy is not psychotherapy. Psychotherapy (which I do not provide) is the diagnosis and conversational treatment of emotional and mental disorders. Hypnotherapy (which I do provide) is the use of relaxation and suggestion to adjust habits of thought, feeling, and behavior. Hypnosis is considered complementary and is not a substitute for traditional medical care or counseling.
Yes. Hypnosis is a guided mental process that depends on your willingness to follow verbal cues into a state of focused relaxation. A voice, carefully chosen words, and a quiet space are all it needs. None of those things require you to be in the same room as your hypnotherapist. Most clients are surprised by how natural it feels, and many find that being in a familiar, comfortable space helps them relax more quickly than sitting in an unfamiliar office.
Yes. Sessions are conducted over HIPAA-compliant Zoom for Healthcare. Additionally, I use secure scheduling software and encrypted email with advanced security, so you can be assured your data is safe when booking appointments and communicating with me.
My clients consistently report successful outcomes, with many experiencing immediate relief, improved quality of life, and lasting changes to persistent problems that other methods failed to resolve. Perhaps the strongest signal of trust comes from healthcare and mental health professionals: doctors, nurses, and counselors refer their patients to me, many become clients themselves, and even fellow hypnotherapists choose me for their own care.
Yes, and the body of evidence has grown substantially in recent years. Hypnosis has been studied in randomized controlled trials and large-scale meta-analyses across dozens of applications, with particularly strong findings in pain management, anxiety, depression, IBS, smoking cessation, and menopausal symptoms.
A landmark 2024 review published in Frontiers in Psychology examined 20 years of meta-analyses and confirmed hypnosis as an evidence-based approach. The American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, and the British Medical Association have all formally recognized hypnosis as a legitimate tool. The North American Menopause Society even rates hypnosis at Level I (their highest evidence designation) for menopausal hot flashes.
Neuroscience supports these findings as well. Recent brain imaging studies using EEG, fMRI, and MRS have confirmed that hypnosis produces measurable, objective changes in brain activity and neurochemistry.
