Testimonials

  • Life-changing Sessions

    "Jessica is terrific. I was skeptical that hypnotherapy would work for me but, with her expert guidance, have had two incredible life-changing sessions. I found her to be very open-minded and interested in my history and situation and I felt very comfortable and supported while in discussion or on a 'journey'. She is low-pressure in terms of return visits but the results of her sessions are proof of their effectiveness and her skill. I highly recommend Jessica if you have always been curious about hypnotherapy and perhaps open to what she might be able to do to help your psyche and/or spirit. You will not regret it." —Melissa C.

  • Anxiety and Travel Fears

    “I started seeing Jessica for my anxiety disorder and my inability to travel far. I had a personal travel radius that was no more than 15 miles. I’m not someone who is interested in trying medication, and I had never tried hypnotherapy. Jessica made me feel very comfortable and made the whole process very easy and enjoyable. We did the hypnotherapy for a few months and I decided to try and travel out of my radius; using the tools I learned from Jessica. I succeeded!! I am so happy with what I’ve accomplished, and I completely thank Jessica for that, she has helped me tremendously. I look forward to taking more and more trips!!!" —R. M., Sales

  • Overcoming Phobias

    "I would like to recommend Jessica for Hypnotherapy healing. I worked with her over a few sessions to overcome some of the phobias I was having that were becoming detrimental in my life. By working in tandem with her sessions and my own commitment to healing, I slowly began to see the root causes of where my phobias were stemming from. I really found value not only in the hypnotherapy sessions, but also in part of the sessions where we just talked. Jessica listens well and is wise. She knows what to say and how to say it. I could not have healed of these life-long phobias without her help. Thank you so much Jessica. I am eternally grateful!" —Silvia Q.

  • Indigestion and Stress

    “Hypnotherapy was new to me when I began with Jessica Levine. My sessions with her were very helpful for my problems with indigestion, tension and stress. I especially appreciated that office visits were 90 minutes in length, which gave time to both discuss my current situation and have a good hypnotic session. Not only did I get relief in these sessions, I also learned a number of self-hypnotic techniques to use outside the office to help with physical and emotional problems.

    Throughout Jessica provided good advice and counsel on personal issues. In our work together, I had a sense of joint participation with Dr. Levine that I found highly rewarding.” —Anonymous

  • Artistic Release

    “As an artist, I am always seeking ways to release myself to create. Jessica gave me back my memories. I had mentally incorporated a confusing spiritual concept about 'staying in the present' which literally cut me off from my past. I felt blocked. She told me that our memories are the source of great richness in our lives and our creative worlds. To mine them and to enjoy them. She gave me permission to open up the luscious world of the life I've lived so far. I understood then, why Sam Shepard would feel OK writing 13 plays about his father!

    Jessica is a confident, common sense therapist. Because she is so grounded and authentic, I felt confident with her insights. I trusted her. Working with her unlocked the cage I was in and released me to a much bigger life than I had allowed myself to have. I've always found hypnotherapy to be the most effective way to change deeply and long term. To plant acorn seeds for my life that will grow into giant oaks.

    Jessica's steadiness and acute perceptiveness make her a great choice for both the background talk of therapy and hypnotherapy itself. I highly recommend Jessica Levine for opening up and growing in ways you want to grow." —Nan P.

  • Weight Loss

    “Jessica, I began this journey into hypnotherapy to explore and address the barriers to weight loss and weight management that I believe exist inside me, and with your work I have turned many corners. Not only have I gained alternative understandings about what food means to me at the unconscious level, I have also been given and co-created tools that help me manage my overwhelming anxiety.

    I had a great block in my studies, and since our work I have resumed regularly studying for my licensing exam, and now believe I am on my way to taking it. Before I dreaded studying for fear of failing, now I have accepted that I will study and take the exam until I pass, no matter how many times. You have also given me concrete strategies that I can use to reduce my anxiety when I study and when I take the test.

    In terms of my weight loss and management, so far I’ve lost 16 pounds, and I do feel confident that I will continue to lose weight with your knowledge about overcoming the past and present associations I make with food, as well as your helping me overcome the obstacles that lead to my unhealthy eating patterns.

    I wasn’t completely sure about what hypnotherapy would offer me, but I’m glad I tried it! I am reaching another place in my self-exploration.” —J.M., Psychologist

  • Safe Space

    “About six months ago I was trying to decide whether to move to Mendocino from the Bay Area when I went to see Jessica to get help for the anxiety the decision-making process was triggering in me.

    Jessica guided me into a hypnotic state that opened up an internal space where I could do the work I needed to do with clarity and freedom from anyone crowding in on me. It gave me a feeling of endless possibility that removed the anxiety and pressure I’d been feeling.

    The experience left me knowing that I can return to that safe, timeless place both to deal with this particular issue as well as to operate the rest of my life.” —G.Z, Yoga Teacher
