 Private Sessions 

Private sessions are the most effective way to deal with specific issues, be they medical issues or emotional, psychological or lifestyle.  Duncan engages in dialogue with his client at their deepest level to enable them to evaluate, decide upon, and then takes steps to effect the changes they want.  

 Office sessions are generally fifty minutes in length.  The specific approach,  content and treatment duration varies with each client situation.  Experience has shown that at least three sessions should be anticipated.  This provides the monitoring of progress and fine-tuning the adjustments in beliefs and thoughts that manifest themselves in the body and in actions.  New patterns take time to become automatic habits, and reinforcement is essential during that period.  For some habits, an extended multi-session program is most effective.

The fundamental basis for the change desired is determined and addressed during the first session.  Monitoring of self-talk and repetition of an appropriate motto is frequently included.

A second session is usually scheduled for 1-2 weeks later to review  and reinforce progress. A self-hypnosis process is usually taught during the second session and the client instructed to use the process to promote and reinforce the desired effect. (Habits take repetition to form and they take repetition to be replaced).

A third session is scheduled for several weeks after the second session to evaluate (and most often confirm) closure on the specific issue.  If necessary, additional sessions for the original (or additional issues) can be scheduled.

Payment:  Consider hypnosis sessions as a personal investment in your wellness.  Individual Sessions are $200 each payable by cash, check or credit card.  Most often more than one session is recommended.  A discount may be offered for a multiple session advance payment.   This is best discussed at the first session.  Insurance plans sometimes cover hypnosis for certain conditions if referred by a doctor.  We will be happy to assist you in completing the insurance reimbursement form for your office session.

Cancellations: Appointment cancellations made after 8 pm of the day preceding the appointment will be billed at $75.  No-shows will also be billed at $75.

New Clients: Completion of the New Client Info form prior to the first session will make it more productive for you.  Please print out the form, complete it and bring to the session.

Parking:

At the Torrance Office, parking is $1/hr with the first hour free when the parking ticket is stamped.  Please bring your parking ticket to the office to be stamped.

At the RPV office, parking on the street is restricted at certain times because of the adjacent college.  Please  feel free to park in our driveway.

 Phone sessions can be just as effective as office sessions; all that is required is a comfortable position for relaxing.  A speaker phone helps, but is not necessary. Phone sessions follow the general format of office sessions.

Phone sessions provide the benefits of medical hypnosis to friends and relatives who are outside the Los Angeles area.

Video (Skype) sessions are equally useful without the cost of long distance charges.
