Dr. Kenneth Grossman - Hypnosis, self hypnosis, hypnotherapy, hypnotism, weight loss hypnosis, smoking and hypnosis,

Would you like to make your life more fulfilling, enjoyable, healthy and productive? Would you like to reduce anxiety, stress and depression? Make an appointment and let's discuss your goals. Together we'll work on internal motivations which help affect long term change.

Because of the nature of hypnosis, where much of the work is done with the clients eyes closed, I've found hypnotherapy works extremely well over the telephone.

I've been very fortunate in my 25 year hypnotherapy career. I devote about half my time to area of public speaking and conducting seminars. I earn between $5,000 and $20,000 for each seminar I conduct. I work with foreign speaking audiences in countries around the world using the unique simultaneous translation techniques I've developed.

But there is nothing more satisfying to me than working one-on-one with clients either in person or by telephone. I truly love helping my clients achieve the happiness, peace of mind and level of success and health they deserve. I welcome the opportunity to use my expertise, experience and wisdom to improve my client's lives in meaningful ways.

The clients I work with are committed to work toward a solution to their problems and understand that it could take weeks or, in some cases, even months for them to reach their goals. Other than a desire to make a positive change in their lives my clients need a telephone headset or speaker phone and be in a place where they will not be disturbed during the sessions.

“I am living a much better life now since we did those private sessions by telephone for my social anxiety. I have survived the entire boys’ basketball season, going to airports, and much, much more. I don’t understand it, but the tools you have given me all seem to work. Thank you.”
--Chuck Massier

"I am looking forward to joining you in self improvement and sustaining a great life for the next seventy years. I've been around this world for quite a few years during which I have never discovered a professional as knowledgeable and capable in their profession as you. Coupled with that, you give the distinct feeling of one being able to trust your integrity and genuine concern for your clients. I am honored to be able to contribute my comments to your website.”
--Dave Dougan

“We had three private sessions concerning my needle phobia and it really paid off. Today I went for my blood work. My blood pressure was high when I first went into the office but listening to your tape and drinking 2 bottles of water as you suggested made the experience almost delightful. Thanks for your help. By the way, I listen to your stress reduction tapes religiously and the sound of your voice now lulls me into wonderful relaxation."
--Kathy Cronin

“I am a non-smoker and I feel great! All the suggestions you gave me during our last session are working for me. I have no cravings or symptoms of withdrawal. Working with you has empowered me in more ways than one. I am amazed at how quickly stress is defused with just one deep breath. You have helped me even more that I had hoped. I can't thank you enough.”
--Nancy Clifford, Canada

"I'll never be able to repay you for your insight into my panic attacks. I had been to medical doctors who told me nothing was wrong. I went to psychologists, chiropractors, acupuncturists. I tried all sorts of medicines, vitamins and herbs and never felt relief. From our first session together I felt like I finally found someone who understood me and knew how to help solve my problem and that I wasn't going crazy. Talking to you was so easy. I felt like you were a trusted friend from the first time we talked. It's been over 6 months now since we finished our phone sessions and I've never had another panic attack. My anxiety is completely under control with the self-hypnosis you taught me. I feel free and alive again! God bless you Dr. Ken."
-- Janice Schindler, Atlanta, GA

"I want to thank you for helping me to eliminate the single most powerful addiction I have ever had, smoking! I truly view myself now as a non-smoker and it has changed my life in a short time dramatically. I am now a true believer in your abilities and in your approach. I am hopeful one day I can repay you for the gift you have given me! I am not rich in money, but I am rich in my professional abilities, diverse personal talents and friendships. You need only ask once if I can ever be of service."
--Matt Eguren, Downers Grove, Il

"Once I started working with you the weight just melted off. Your insight and suggestions accomplished more in 2 months than I had in 5 years with a psychologist. I love the new me and I can never repay you for what you did for me."
-- Marie Fishbourne, New York, NY

"Our coaching sessions helped me to triple my income in 4 months. I couldn't be more pleased and I thank you for helping me to achieve a real break through in my attitude about life."
-- George Gorgas, Colorado Springs, Co

“Today marks the end of our private telephone sessions, and I no longer have a fear of small spaces and heights. This fear used to limit my activities (skiing, flying, elevators, etc,..) and leave me with a terrible feeling of swallowing my tongue and my throat tightening up. I have now confronted my fears with your help, and put an end to the anxieties I once felt. In addition, to relieving these fears, you have also succeeded in dramatically lowering my stress levels and increasing my motivation. Best of all you have given me the ability to keep this positive feeling forever through self-hypnosis. You are a truly gifted therapist and I really appreciate all of your help. With the tools and techniques you have taught me, I now look forward to a stress free, productive life style where I can confront and conquer anything that comes my way. Thank you for everything, I look forward to trying your other CD's soon. (Especially the weight loss and golf!) Sincerely,"
-- Larry L. Lantis, San Jose, CA

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me my life back. After my car accident I was put on many very strong pain medications...including oxycontin...to cope with the pain. After many years of taking them I was addicted and they were ruining my life. But, thanks to you I am now able to live my life FREE from painkillers. And somehow through our hypnosis sessions I don't feel the pain anymore. You are a great man and I thank you."
-- Dean Schiller

"Just wanted to email you and let you know how things are going. I've been using the self hypnosis that you taught me a lot. I usually do it once in the morning before I leave the house, then once in the middle of the day on my lunch break and for a few minutes before I go to sleep, and I am noticing more and more each day the changes it's bringing about in the way I feel, act, and think. Your program of private sessions has helped me TREMENDOUSLY and I cannot express how much I am thankful for finding your site and for you helping me change my life. I would suggest this program to anyone who wants to be proactive in making positive changes in their life, not only socially but also professionally. I honestly cannot thank you enough for all you've done for me."
--Don Kilgus

"I want to tell you that I already miss our weekly sessions, and I definitely see the positive results from my sessions to work on my attitude and overall way I choose to interact with my co-workers, clients and others. Each day on my morning drive into work, I say my affirmations and make a point of being kind, understanding, patient, likeable, friendly and approachable with everyone I meet and exhibit outstanding people skills all day long. This is really amazing because I was once told I had 'no people skills" by a co-worker. Thanks so much Dr. Grossman for the positive change you helped me achieve and I look forward to continued improvements in my life."
--Sharon Hardy

"My son Michael wished to improve his baseball skills including focusing on the pitcher, coach and base running. Since he's started your private sessions and CD program, Michael has listened to one of your CD's each day. In mid July after more than a month of using the CD's, Michael attended the University of Alabama baseball camp for high school age boys. During the week long camp, Michael had one of the highest batting averages out of about 100 campers. His base stealing was among the best and he was probably in the top ten percentile during the speed test. Although, baseball for him is over this season, we feel he's made substantial progress. Michael returned to school to start his Junior year almost two weeks ago. I've noticed him bring books home and immediately studying after dinner. I asked him a few days ago if he felt your Concentration and Memory CD's were aiding him in his studies and he was enthusiastic in his response. "Without a doubt"! He said he's more attentive towards his teachers and seems to immediately perk up whenever a teacher begins to teach. He has pages of notes from class...something I've never seen him have...and is motivated towards his classes. It's now football season and Michael is playing as usual. He didn't play a defensive position last year and is earmarked to be the starting defensive tackle. Obviously his speed and quickness is paying off. He's seems to be calmer than before and has matured this summer. Your Custom CD program is working and we cant wait for baseball season to come back around. Thanks for your help in giving Michael the means to achieve his goals."
--- Larry E.

UPDATE ON MICHAEL
"you may not remember, but you helped my son Michael with his focus on baseball. We began the program in the summer of 2005. About the time we started, our baseball season was really over for the year. Michael had this last fall and winter to prepare. He used your CD's sparingly at first. I don’t think he was convinced the CD's were being effective. Starting last fall, I made Michael get up about 30 minutes early...before school...so he could listen to one of the many CD's you provided. It has really helped him. We're nearly halfway into our baseball season and Michael is batting about 450 and has an on base percentage well about 650. He's leading the team in steals and second in batting average. When Michael is at bat, he's so calm and waits for the right pitch. Before, Michael would be swinging at the first pitch and inevitably get behind in the count. Not any more. He had 49 at bats before striking out. For high school, that's quite an accomplishment. But his patience has allowed him to consistently run the count nearly full and he's one of the best hitters with 2 strikes. Naturally, I'm a proud Dad but Michael seems to be the calmer one. He doesn’t gloat or brag; he just allows his performance to speak for himself. We've worked hard in the batting cages the last 6 months, but I do feel you have provided a window of opportunity for Michael to hone his skills. There's no doubt he'll be playing at the next level. He still has another year of high school to complete. Michael varies the CD's he listens to, but uses the baseball one on game days. I spoke with his Algebra teacher early in the year and she was amazed at his attention span. She described him as leaning forward and waiting with baited breath for her next words. His grades have improved, but they could still come up more. We've got ACT's this weekend. It's like clockwork now. Michael instinctively goes to bed early...before 10 PM...and wakes early enough to listen to a CD before getting ready for school. We're really pleased with his improvements to date and wanted to thank you for your assistance.” --Larry E.

How long is each session?
Each session is scheduled for one hour. But I've never been a clock watcher. Sometime a session might be shorter because we've accomplished our goal for the session and on other occasions a session will be longer because we need to deal with an issue that emerges.

How often are the sessions?
Sessions are usually held once a week, but sometimes clients in crisis may need 2, 3 or more sessions each week.

How many sessions are required?
The number of sessions required depends on the problem or issue for which the client is seeking help. It also depends on how long the client has had the issue or problem, their motivation to change, their ability to follow instructions and their responsiveness to hypnosis.

Do you accept all clients?
No. Some clients are not suited to my personality and my type of hypnotherapy. I don't do past lives regression or crystal ball healing, nor do I swing a pocket watch in front of their face or that sort of thing.

How much is my investment?
That depends on my client's goals and their reason for seeking services. I've worked with almost every kind of problem and have created specific programs for many issues. Some long standing problems can take months. I offer special discount packages for weight loss, smoking cessation, sports improvement, anxiety, stress management and addictions. Of course we take credit cards. But unlike many psychotherapists I don't want life-long clients and don't want my clients dependent on me. I want to empower my clients so they can rely on themselves.

Who pays for the phone calls?
The client pays for international phone charges. With the reduction in long distance charges during the past few years the cost will be minimal. Check with your long distance carrier. For most sessions I will place the call to you.

Do the private session programs include CD's?
Any hypnosis programs that I recommend for home reinforcement are included at no extra charge.

Do the private session programs include training in self-hypnosis?
All clients are instructed and coached in the proper use of self-hypnosis so that they'll have a tool they can use for the rest of their life to help them maintain their therapeutic benefit.

Are results guaranteed?
No. I'm good, but I'm not God. I cannot guarantee human behavior. My client's results depend on their motivation to change and their ability to follow instructions.

What happens if I have to miss a session?
I expect the courtesy of 48 hours notice, otherwise that session is charged at the full session rate.

What is my investment for the first session?
The investment for the first session is only $150.

What do I get for the $150?
You'll get my undivided attention for one hour along with the opportunity to discuss your problem/issue/goal. During your initial session you'll be evaluated for your hypnotizability and you'll be given an estimate of what it will take to accomplish your goal. You'll determine if you want to make a commitment to me as your hypnotherapist and I'll determine whether or not I want to make a commitment to work with you. If we have a meeting of the minds we'll set up your session plan and schedule your next session.
