Hi-I read the reviews and decided to try. I'm a woo hoo girl and and this wasn't that. My conversation was real. After effects were real. I I vibed and this was a great experience. I still have few appointments left but I'm excited to check in later. So far so good...but so tempted. Glad I was given tools to cope. I'm trying and will continue to try with Center City Hypnosis read more

I had failed my board exams 5 times. People kept suggesting hypnosis because I am intelligent enough to pass, I just kept getting severe test anxiety. I was skeptical but the lifetime limit of taking the boards is 6 times, and I would do anything to pass. I saw Steve 5 times, and he even did a video session while I was out of state. He explained hypnosis so well, and I saw results after the second session. He helped me change the way I thought about the exam, and that I should not fear, or freeze up during the exam. On my 6th, and final attempt, I PASSED THE BOARDS. The sessions changed my life, and helped me achieve my goal. read more

I couldn't possibly recommend this more. After ~20 years of failed attempts to quit smoking, this worked almost like magic. I didn't do the common binge eating after and the withdrawal symptoms were very minor and short lived. In fact, this worked so well, I went back for more. I've bitten my finger nails since I was a kid and after a week of almost 100% success, it appears that Steve has helped me rid that nasty habit too. I wish I tried this a lot sooner. read more

Steve offers a valuable service and clearly has a genuine interest in helping to the best of his ability. After going for 3 visits, I can say that he is authentic and upfront with everything, from pricing to what this service may or may not help with. He has a website that gives very thorough information that may help you decide whether this is for you. If you go in with an open mind, you may be able to take away something that really resonates with you, or perhaps break a bad habit. Additionally, he is very accessible by email or phone. read more

To anyone wondering if they should invest their money and time with Steve - I will tell you, it is a very easy decision to make. I have been to many "mind coaches" over the years being a prior high level athlete. Whether psychologists, doctors, performance coaches, etc. I have not found a service even close to Steve's in comparison of quality & results. I speak very highly of him for a few reasons 1) Steve will not take on clientele thinks will not see results or are not ready 2) Steve is very flexible & accommodative 3) Steve is very selfless to patients in both his time and his effort 4) Steve is able to identify deeply complex subconscious behaviors, explain them in a very simple way, and always follows up with a potential solution. If you are reading this and are questioning investing time/energy into human optimization, I recommend Steve to all of my friends and family. read more

Let me start with the important note that my sessions at Center City Hypnosis have helped change my life. Our work together - and Steve's reading materials provided on his website and after session #1 on his blog - have allowed me to get to a place where I do not fear anxiety or stress. Instead, I have worked to retrain my brain in ways that years of therapy and psychiatry could not. I interviewed/consulted with 3 hypnotists in the area, and decided to go with Steve for a few reasons. He is a practitioner first and foremost - not a sales guy, not a marketer, not selling you on a thousand and one ways hypnotism can help you today, right now, for 4 easy payments of...No. He presents you with facts, research and studies that back up why hypnotism works and how it can benefit you. He is honest about his background and experience, and the statistics and reviews speak to his clout in the industry and Philadelphia area. Steve is quiet and methodical, and as I found in my first session, those qualities work very well in the process of hypnosis. I didn't know what to expect at session #1, but he walked me through what would happen and then spent a few minutes after the session talking about how I felt. His diagrams and explanations worked wonders teaching my conscious mind what was happening behind the scenes. I only worked with Steve twice (after the initial consultation), and have since been meditating regularly (on his recommendation) and have seen nothing but positive results. I had self harming habits to my skin and nails, which have not recurred from day one. I had bouts of anxiety and depression, which are tremendously less severe and easier to manage. I feel all aspects of my life and day to day are more controlled, pleasant, predictable - even when things go wrong, I know I can handle it and I no longer fear the unknown or change. It was quite a lot to accomplish in just 2 sessions, but that's the power of hypnosis. If you are on the fence about hypnosis or have already bought in and are looking for the right practitioner, please know that you can trust that Steve has the skills, experience and methodology to take you where you want to go. Keep an open mind, breathe deeply and read everything he gives you. I am lucky to be where I am today, because I found Center City Hypnosis. read more

I have had two sessions at Center City Hypnotherapy. In the first, Steve and I worked on my sleep/wake cycle. That session helped somewhat, and I decided to try again with a different focus. My second session dealt with my spending a great deal of time (hours every day) playing a game on my phone. I was addicted to the activity, and when I wasn't playing the game I thought about it and itched to get back to it. It interfered with my work and personal life. My second session, six weeks ago, was an unqualified success. I have not touched the game since. Thank you Steve for helping me break that habit. read more

I went to the Center City Hypnosis for weight lost, and for working on other areas of my personal life. Because I felt those areas of my personal life contributed to my weight gain. I went through a divorce several years ago and some of the weight gain was a result of the divorce and a full hysterectomy. To my surprise I started to get results immediately, in regards to my well being. The weight lost was slower however, I have lost the desire for sweets, eating in the middle of the night, I am able to sleep through the night. And if I do get up I only have a desire to drink water. I have lost a total of 16.5 lbs. I have worked in mental health for 10 yrs, and often its the behavior that has to change. I highly recommend Steve because he truly cares about you as a client as well as getting the results you want, and I have found this to be the most successful. read more

May I say that I am extremely thankful for coming across Mr.Roh! Naturally, I am the type that will do everything myself with little help from others and I value that about me! I personally struggled with an addiction that I could not shake for over a course of 9 years, with many failed attempts at trying all other avenues, I decided that this wouldn't hurt since everything else failed. I was so passionate and open to a way to shake my addiction and by utilizing his services, it simply (without effort in my opinion), has been rectified! I literally did nothing but come with an open mind to explore an alternative to relieving myself of this addiction and he 100% ended the issue with just 1 session! Me being a realist, I got the multi pack session just to make sure that if I had a slip up, I could see him again, but the first session was enough! I won't reveal his techniques but he personalized my experience and my addiction is gone! Thank you so much Steve! I truly appreciate whatever this skill is that you have because it truly helped me! I truly am healthier and more productive because of the skill set that you have! Thank you May you touch a lot more people who are willing to get assistance with their struggle! And I definitely will recommend your services to those who are willing to explore your talent! It was truly a pleasure! read more

I saw Steve twice. I would say he is as good as any therapist for my issue. He is definitely not the type just "looking for money". While my issues were very deep and could not be treated (I would need many sessions) I beleive he would be great for someone with a bad minor habit, quit smoking or loose weight although that's not what I was there for. He made sense of alot of things and I would say he is worth s try for this stuff read more

Steve is amazing, a genius. He listens deeply and then creates a session then and there that addresses pressing needs. It improved my life immediately - I was dealing with anxiety - and now I tackle my work with great gusto. I'm almost afraid to recommend him, because I don't want my competitors going to him! : ) He says hypnosis is not necessarily a substitute for therapy, but it sure has helped me more than any therapy I've had. Steve knows how our brains work. I can't say enough great things about Center City Hypnosis. read more

I'm beyond shocked at how effective my hypnosis session with Steve was. As it was happening I felt like it wasn't working, that I was too awake/aware and not in a trance-like state. The only indication that something unusual had occurred was the fact that what felt like 20 minutes passing was actually closer to an hour and a half. It was the night before Thanksgiving, and I walked out of his office with four hours to go before my 40th birthday officially began. I was determined to enjoy as many cigarettes as possible before my midnight quit date, just as I had for the last 25 years. A half a cigarette later, i was giving away my freshly opened pack and haven't looked back since. I had absolutely no interest in finishing that cigarette...it just did nothing for me. The very concept of smoking is basically meaningless for me now. I don't crave them, it doesn't bother me to see others doing it, and I hardly ever think about it. I was not a social smoker, I was a hard core pack-a-dayer since my teens, and I'd tried patches, gum, Wellbutrin and electronic cigarettes. Whenever I tried to quit I was always crabby, frustrated, sad, angry...basically a nightmare to be around. I cannot believe how little I think about smoking now and how little I miss it a full six months later. I would never have thought it possible. Steve is amazing, and a total straight-shooter. Just read through his website and you'll know right away if his style resonates with you. If it does, see him. You won't regret it. read more

Hypnotist, Steve Roh helped me break a lifelong bad habit of smoking in a single session! The hypnosis session was an interesting exploration of self. He was a great guide and really helped to make the session as personal and insightful as possible. It was very interesting to explore the subconscious mind and thoughts while hypnotized and I found it far more effective in a much shorter period of time than traditional talk therapy. He is truly a gifted hypnotherapist and I recommend him highly without any reservations.​ read more

I don't even know where to start with explaining what a positive impact Steve Roh has directly had on my life and well being. He is the most non-judgmental person I have ever met, which makes for a perfect hypnotist, because you can go in with no guard up and be completely open minded, which means you will actually benefit and get the outcome you wanted when you contacted him. He will help you! All you have to do is let him read more

Simply put, my session with Steve was a life changing event. I had a life long problem with night eating which has been recently recognized as a clinical medical condition - Night Eating Syndrome or NES. Everything I had tried my entire adult life did not help, Steve was able to get to the root of my problem and effectively put me in the right mindset. I can not recommend Steve enough if anyone is going through something in their life of a similar nature. read more

Steve is amazing. If you have ever wanted to try hypnosis or have been hypnotized but were unsatisfied, go see Steve. I not only see him personally but refer patients to him as well. Their experiences are similar to mine: excellent. read more

When I first booked my appointment with Steve, I did not know what to expect. This was my first hypnosis experience, but after reading Steve's great reviews and learning how successful it can be, I decided to give it a shot. I was right at the point of giving up on the challenge I was going through, and I couldn't be happier that I found Steve. Not only did he help me immensely to overcome this challenge with hypnosis, but he completely changed my perspective on how to actually look at these challenges. After my first session, I immediately signed up for the 4-session package and after doing all of them, I highly recommend you do so if 1 session is not enough for you. He used different techniques in all of the sessions, giving me different tools to use on my own as well. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of trying hypnosis to go with Steve. Life-changing! read more

Not a very understanding been battling a viral infection for 2 weeks so I rescheduled once I forgot about the Appointment because I've been so sick said I have a history on one is perfect but him I guess read more

Steve is a wonderful guy. Really helped me work through thing that were happening in my life. I am grateful for the time I spent with him and would definitely suggest it to friends. read more

Steve did a great job helping me with my concerns. I saw results the day after our session. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to make changes in their life. He is really committed to his practice and is very thorough and conscientious. He did a great job and I appreciate him so much!! I wish I had gone years ago. Again, i would totally recommend him to anybody. read more

I can't say enough about my experience working with Steve. After a lifetime of struggling to moderate with food and being at war with myself to follow good habits or bad habits, just a few relaxing sessions has made it so that the "bad habit angel" is nowhere to be found and I make good decisions without even thinking about it. I cut out sugar, wheat flour, and fried foods completely and I literally don't even consider them when I look at menus - this coming from a former bread and pasta addict! I waited a few months to write this review because I wanted to see if it was just a phase, but it has been so incredibly easy - easy isn't even the write word because it's not work at all. I can now say with complete confidence that those foods and other habits that caused me to feel bad about myself when I overindulged are non-issues. I've lost 10 lbs without trying and I continue to lose more. The cost of the sessions has paid itself back already in time and money spent on diet and weight. Amazing! read more
