Why Hypnosis Therapy?

Hypnosis is an effective therapy technique that uses the power of the patient’s mind to treat, manage, and cure various conditions.

There are no prescriptions, no side effects, and practicing these techniques allows patients to regain control over their minds and bodies.

Tics & Tourette Syndrome

For patients suffering from tics or tourette syndrome, the key is to identify and control the premonitory urge before a tic occurs. Patients receiving medical hypnosis often find themselves able to control their tics at their first visit.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Other Gastrointestinal Issues

For children and adolescents with IBS, hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provide greater short-term & long-term relief when compared with medical therapy.

Performance Anxiety

Hypnotherapy and CBT help students, athletes, musicians, dancers, actors, and public speakers achieve their “zone of optimal performance” by controlling their anxiety and increasing their self-confidence.

Bedwetting

Bedwetting is a common pediatric issue that can have significant impact on a child or adolescent’s life. Motivated patients (without other underlying conditions) typically see improvement after only 2 to 3 visits.

Headaches & Migraines

Self-hypnosis has been shown to be effective in both the treatment and prevention of headaches. Studies have shown repeatedly that the use of self-hypnosis decreases the frequency, duration, and intensity of migraines and other types of headaches.

With only a series of 5 sessions, I can happily say that my migraine pain level has decreased by at least 50%, and that I no longer experience severe attacks where I am paralyzed by the pain.

Joe has never been dry at night. At the first meeting, he talked with Dr. Lazarus and received some “homework.” When he returned the following week, he had been dry five out of seven nights! At the second visit, he learned self-hypnosis-and he has been dry ever since.

My IBS symptoms began over seven years ago during a particularly stressful period in my life, in my sixties. I was somewhat skeptical about the benefits of hypnotherapy, however, after my first session (of four) with Dr. Lazarus, I was dramatically and inexplicably better. Dr. Lazarus helped me get my life back.

Dr. Lazarus had such an impact. Our son doesn’t have any tics anymore. We are in the process of relocating to another city, but Dr. Lazarus is still our pediatrician regardless of where we live.
