My Approach
The goal of the Miramontes Life Center (MLC) is to help others experience self-empowerment, to make positive life changes and harness the power of the mind for wholeness and holistic well-being. By helping a client expand their awareness and identify the root cause and gain insight that will play a role in their release of the problem. Clients who have a strong desire for change will become self-empowered and achieve desired goals for lasting success and personal transformation.
At our initial consultation or meeting, together we will discuss your needs and concerns to collaboratively decide if we can work together. Maintaining professional boundaries for both client and I is a vital component in therapeutic relationships. Ultimately, you, the client, must decide to put therapeutic and positive suggestions into action. I will use therapeutic approaches based on the problems you present.
If I initiate terminating therapy with you, it will be because I feel that I am not able to be helpful or a higher level of care is needed. Ending therapy well is important. We reserve the right to refuse hypnotherapy services at our discretion.
