Enjoy a more healthy, peaceful, productive life — now

The fee for the initial session is $310. Any subsequent sessions within a year are $105, even if they address different issues. If payment is made by check or cash, the fees are $300 and $100 respectively.

In most cases, when addressing a specific issue such as smoking or vaping cessation, fear of flying, anxiety reduction, alcohol abuse, or public speaking, only a single session is required. A recording of your session will be made and sent to your email address for you to listen to, reinforcing the hypnotic suggestions.

The effectiveness of the hypnotic process does not rely on the physical presence of the hypnotherapist. The power that influences a change in behavior resides in the brain of the subject, rather than in the hypnotherapist. When a hypnotic suggestion is given, whether in person or virtually, it triggers a perception in the mind of the subject, leading the subject's brain to produce the behavior.

While virtual sessions may lack the personal warmth of in-person interactions, online sessions have proven to be equally effective. The advantage of a virtual session is the ability to work with a client whether they live in the Phoenix area or London.

A hypnotherapy session is most effective when it targets a specific issue, such as overcoming fear, breaking a habit, or managing stress. By focusing deeply on one particular challenge, the hypnotic state allows the brain to process and adopt new patterns of behavior. However, personal struggles are rarely isolated — many issues are interconnected. For example, stress might manifest as overeating, smoking, or excessive alcohol consumption, creating a cycle where emotional distress fuels an unhealthy coping mechanism.

While the primary focus may be quitting smoking, losing weight, or sobriety, the session may also uncover related triggers, like workplace pressure or unresolved emotions. So not only is the prime issue dealt with, but the related issue is addressed as well.

When issues are unrelated, dealing with them separately allows me to focus on each concern without diluting the effectiveness of the session. Hypnosis works best when the mind can engage with a single, well-defined goal.

With over fifty years of experience in hypnotherapy, I have encountered a wide range of issues, so the answer is yes. If you have a behavior that hinders your ability to experience a peaceful, healthy, and productive life, I would be happy to work with you.

Everyone has the potential to experience the hypnotic process. If you have never undergone hypnosis, you may have misconceptions about what it is, how it works, and how it can be used to modify behavior. I define hypnosis as a state of sleep — a state of mind in which a subject's brain automatically carries out any instructions it receives from their mind.

During each session, clients are led through a series of demonstrations that confirm that once their brain receives a suggestion, it will automatically create the behavior that causes the suggestion to spontaneously happen. Now, if that is hypnosis, then yes, you and everyone can experience the hypnotic process.

I work with couples who seek help with the same issues, such as smoking cessation, healthy eating, fear of flying, or improving performance in a common sport. Both clients may sit in together during the pre-hypnotic discussion. However, the actual hypnosis session is conducted individually, and each client receives their own recording of the hypnosis portion of the session.

I do not work with couples wanting to resolve relationship issues.

Indeed you can, but only after I have had an opportunity to visit by phone with your loved one first. My aim is to assist individuals in making changes to their behavior, provided they choose to make such changes.

Regardless of whether the loved one is a child, an adult, or anywhere in between, it is essential to visit with them to confirm their desire to make the change and their cognitive capacity to hold a conversation. If a five-year-old or ninety-five-year-old has the physical ability to dial my number and the cognitive ability to engage in a rational conversation explaining their interest in hypnotherapy and why they want to improve their life, they are likely well suited for hypnotherapy. Conversely, if they are unable to do so, scheduling an appointment would be futile.

Yes, because all hypnosis is essentially self-hypnosis. The power lies in the subject's brain, not the hypnotherapist. Understanding the brain's language makes self-hypnosis straightforward.

During every session I have my clients demonstrate to themselves how, by sending their brain instructions in its language, their brain automatically produces the suggested behavior. Their brain doesn't care if a suggestion is given by me or by themselves — it simply responds to the suggested behavior.

My method of hypnotherapy stands apart from other hypnotists with a simple, effective approach — most often producing results in just one session. With over 50 years of experience and tens of thousands of clients, my method is uniquely my own. Except for the few practitioners I have personally trained, no other hypnotherapist uses my technique.

Unlike traditional hypnotherapy, my approach does not require clients to revisit past issues in order to successfully change their current behavior. Each session is structured into four key segments:

1. Defining the goal — I begin by discussing the specific behavior the client wants to change.
2. Understanding the motivation — we explore why they want this change and the benefits they would experience if it had already taken effect.
3. Demonstrating the process — I guide the client through a series of demonstrations to explain how hypnosis works and how their brain naturally follows and executes instructions from their mind.
4. Hypnotic suggestion — in this final stage, while in a state of hypnosis, I deliver personalized hypnotic instructions based on our discussion. This portion is recorded and sent to the client's email address for continued reinforcement.

I offer individual instruction in my hypnotherapy method. The course includes seven to ten sessions based on the student's dedication. Upon completion, students receive a certificate for completing my course in Bradian Hypnotherapy, and would meet the requirements for certification by the Arizona Society for Professional Hypnosis (ASPH).

Yes. I make a recording of your session and send it to your email address.

No. Just show up with a clear idea of what you choose to accomplish as the result of your session.

After 40 plus years in the same Tempe, Arizona complex, I now work from my home office in Gilbert, Arizona. It has proven to be better in every way — a move I should have made decades ago.
