Hypnotherapy for kids and teens · Myrtle Beach, SCHypnotherapy for kids and teens.

Children are natural at this. They imagine vividly, they play seriously, and they love the experience. That makes hypnosis one of the gentlest tools there is for a child who is struggling.

What HypnoKids is

I'm certified in the HypnoKids approach from OMNI Hypnosis Training, which is built specifically for children and teens. Sessions are short, fun and engaging, designed for young minds rather than adapted from adult work.

It helps a child regulate behavior, focus attention, handle fear, and feel more confident at school.

Parents are part of it

I work with the child, and I work with you. You'll know what we're doing and why, and you'll have ways to support it at home.

The goal is a skill your child understands and can use on their own, long after our sessions are done.

Counseling for kids, too

As a licensed clinical social worker I also provide counseling for children and teens. Sometimes a child needs one, sometimes the other, and often both. We work that out together on the free call.

Questions

What people ask about hypnotherapy for kids and teens.

Is hypnosis safe for children?
Yes. Your child stays aware the whole time, can speak, and can stop whenever they want. HypnoKids sessions are gentle, playful and short.
Do parents sit in?
Parents are part of the conversation from the start. Whether you're in the room for the session itself is something we decide together, based on what works best for your child.
What can it help with?
Focus, behavior, fears and worries, and confidence at school are the most common. Tell me what you're seeing on the free call and I'll be honest about whether it's a fit.
