Rich is amazing. Just off the phone with him after 4 hours, and he was so tired but talked to me until we got through everything I needed help with. This is my 4th year of working with him. I don't want to leave a long ass review, but just know he helped me in all aspects of my life from god, business, to personal relationships. - B read more

Rich Rios from Remedy Hypnotherapy is truly exceptional. He is knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I contacted him for a special project that required a professional hypnotist, and he not only met my expectations but exceeded them. read more

Long overdue review, I started smoking cigarettes at 16 years old and by the time I was 17 I was up to a pack a day this continued increasing over the years to about 1.5-2 packs per day sometimes more. I never lasted more than 2 days without a cigarette the several times I told myself I would try to quit. At 30 years old and after 3 sessions with rich, I have gone the last 2 years and 2 months without touching a cigarette. I highly recommend remedy hypnotherapy to anyone in need of help with just about anything in life Thank you Rich read more

I had a session with Rich a while back. I was struggling with depression, my past marriage and my children not to mention PTSD. I couldn't sleep every night.Rich helped me see positive ways to look at both past and moving forward. He had recorded two different versions of sleep therapy as well as explained and pointed out things I need to improve in my life. Time to time, when I feel troubled or feel stuck, I reach out to Rich on the phone. Every time he has given me directions to how to approach things in life positively and made me understand with different real life examples to help me with my struggles and problems. I have never experienced anyone like Rich who is easy to talk to, makes his time to help me when I am down and low, very personal and professional at the same time. I recommend Rich to anyone wanting to better their lives and learn important factors in life that are often neglect and ignored. Rich teaches values, morals and ethics all in very simple steps. Thank you Rich for all your help and advice. You truly are one of the greatest person I have ever met in my life. Much appreciated it. Mia Henderson read more

Remedy Hypnotherapy - Counseling & Mental Health Near Me - Mountain View, California

Rich is an amazing hypnotherapist who truly cares for his clients. He is very generous with his time and goes above and beyond to see that the client gets results. He is patient and understanding. I highly recommend seeing him!!!!! read more

I take into consideration that everyone offers different perspectives. I can say it is always worth a try to consult a person directly to see if they resonate with what you're looking for. I am thankful to have met Rich. He truly has your best interest at heart. He has an effective system that he has created and is extremely generous with his time and knowledge. I get why there are so many 5 star reviews. All his tools can be used efficiently once you get the understanding of it. After only 1 session with him, I was able to get clear on my emotions and understand how to commit and accomplish my goals. He is a gem! Rich, thank you for your support which has helped me tremendously on my journey! I hope everyone will experience your strategic approach to handling their issues. read more

After many attempts at getting my mental state in a healthier place, I finally found my solution in Rich - what a miracle worker and incredible human being!!! I've tried many different healing practices, and all have had their benefits (body focused), but Remedy Hypnotherapy was the first to really drive down deep into the psychological root of the issues. The appointment was some of the highest quality 1x1 time I've had with a professional. Rich never looked at the clock once or rushed me through questions. He was incredibly patient, non judgemental and a great listener. I loved that he helped me come to my own solutions and answers vs. talking at me the entire time. Rich took the time to explain every process/method for me to ensure full understanding. He was able to diagnose a big basket full of symptoms into just a few key issues lying under the surface. In terms of results, I saw them within the first two weeks. It's been the fastest, most successful method of therapy I've ever tried. I can't believe I've spent so much money & time on past therapists that didn't get nearly as far as Rich did in one session. I still listen to the tracks Rich made me for mental boosts and help me get back on track when I start to fall backwards. I feel like he gave me the skills to succeed on my own and not be reliant on someone else for the answers. All the power to succeed is within me! read more

October 24, 2018 I walked into Rich's office with one goal in mind....quitting smoking. So to give you history from me and my smoking habits I have been smoking since I was 15, I am now 40 and have successfully quit 2 times over the years and failed at least 10 trying to quit. I was smoking about 10 - 15 cigarettes a day. Over 7 months later I have yet to pick up a cigarette and absolutely no desire to do so. And I have shared this with anyone who will listen down to the guy at the grocery store saying to the cashier this is my last pack. But that is only the tip of the iceberg as to what Rich has done for me. He has absolutely helped me see myself and my life in a whole new way that I am still exploring and learning about. With every step I feel like a new person who is experiencing so many new feelings for the first time. You see Rich sees your potential and does all that he can to help you see it in yourself the way he does. I have no idea how to explain his SUPER POWER but it is there stronger than life radiating from this man. read more

Rich is great- he spends a lot of time and effort trying to get to the root of your issue, and wants to help you solve it once and for all. I really get the sense that he cares about helping people conquer whatever it is they're grappling with personally. I'm grateful, and really, really glad I called. I will definitely post again in the months to come to provide updates, especially since I'm just a couple of weeks into therapy. So far, SO good, though. Thank you, Rich! - Yaya Dunne read more

I agree with the reviews written by Ravi P. and Olwen R. I was not going to write a review about my session with Rich, however after reading those 2 reviews I decided I will because I too am a 1 star review customer that's been so upset about how my session went and I decided to go to Rich only after seeing all his 5 star reviews. My session was a couple of months ago and it's definitely $435.85 and 3 hours I will never get back. First off it took me A LONG TIME to even make the appointment to see Rich, because that is one of my problems that I wanted his help with, how I just can't seem to decide on things or make changes in my life. I explained this problem to him on the phone when I called to make the appointment. I waited 3 weeks to get an appointment, I told Rich it was fine because it's taken me 2 years to call him after having him saved on my yelp page. I was excited the day of my appointment, arrived on time and wanted so badly for this meeting to help me. After 3 hours of Rich asking questions and referring to ghost being my problem for everything, my session had ran over and we never got to the 30 minute hypnotherapy part. I was so confused how this happened when he was in charge of our time and asking the questions. He offered saying I could come back, but again I was confused not sure if I would have to pay for another session and he wasn't leading me to believe otherwise. Then he offered to email the hypnotherapy part and I could just do it myself. At this point I was very disappointed that I was going to leave there with basically nothing and to put a cherry on top of my disappoint, I paid for the session with a credit card and the tablet he swiped my card popped up a screen asking to leave a tip. I sat there for a second, thinking are you kidding me! The session for 2 1/2 hours was $385, which I wasn't completely able to afford but I desperately wanted help. Now it was going to cost me another 15% and again I was leaving there with nothing but a total of 3 hours of questions and a bunch of ghosts that seemed to be my problem. Rich did send me the hypnotherapy part of the session about 5 days later. However, it hasn't been any help that I was hoping for, with all the 5 stars reviews talking about Rich being so supportive and there to help days and weeks after their session. I never heard a word from him after that email. Ultimately I am beyond disappointed because I wanted help, and I wanted to believe that hypnotherapy would help me. Now I don't know what to believe for help. read more

I have try counseling, acupuncture, homeopathic, meditation in the last few years and they all helped me in different ways; however, I know there are still something left in me so I decided to give the hypnotherapy a chance. I am glad I found Rich. He is nice, friendly, and honest. We have so much to talk about other than my issues. It's been almost two months now and I haven't feel this good for a very long time. I hope one day that insurance would cover hypnotherapy so more people would consider because it is very helpful. A good and experienced hypnotherapist can help you with 2-4 sessions compare to years of counseling. Don't get me wrong. I do see the benefits on counseling; however, it just taking a lot longer and the effects are not as powerful. Now I have enrolled in Palo Alto School of hypnotherapy where Rich graduated from years ago because I see the power and benefits of hypnotherapy, and I want to learn more about it. The class has started for three weeks, not only I get to learn more about hypnotherapy but also about myself. Thank you Rich! read more

My wife and I saw all the other great reviews and figured we'd see if we could learn anything here that could help us function even better. We've since just laughed it off as that-bizarre-experience-we-once-had. But, I was thinking back to how curious we were initially after reading all the good reviews, how natural it must be after a good experience to write a good review, versus how tempting it is to just want to move on after a bad experience, and figured it would be helpful to share ours: The session opens with a lengthy monologue Rich gives about how human beings are fundamentally flawed as a species and the root cause of the problems in the world are human emotions. He talks about how he's discovered tools that can save civilization by helping people suppress their emotions. If you watched Disney's Frozen and thought "Conceal don't feel", that sounds like interesting parenting advise -- where did they get that? The answer is Rich. They got it from Rich. After making it through the opening monologue we were already a little worn out. I think it would be ideal if he recorded that and had people watch it online ahead of time. It would both give people a good sense of who he is before coming in/if he's a good fit for them, and allow them to instantly hit the ground running in their sessions. After that, he had a series of exercises to get information from each of us. They were very hypothetical, so it was hard to know which way to answer; we didn't know where any of it was going. He would sometimes say "it's not super important, just say the first thing you think" and "this will form the basis for what we do later, so be sure to think carefully about it" often within the span of the same question. We found the questions really difficult, not because they were inherently difficult questions, but because they were so ambiguous and circumstantial. Eventually, he switched and said I was holding onto emotion and logic too tightly and needed to let go. I said I was concerned that the atmosphere was one of lots of confusion. That it felt highly likely that I wasn't properly understanding what we were talking about. That if we could clarify what everyone in the room was saying we'd all likely be able to come to very different understandings. My wife also tried to say she felt there was a lot of misunderstanding that easily be cleared up if we could just take a breath and each clarify ourselves, but she felt she was ignored "and gave up." Instead, Rich launched into an exhausting 2-hour monologue about the need to control emotions, with stories about horses running to rivers, selling fried chicken to gas stations and a picture of a sentinel from the Matrix. There wasn't really clarity on what outcome he was hoping to reach from all the stories. Afterwards, he made a lot of compelling arguments as to why we couldn't think poorly of his session: transformation is not always comfortable; things can seem bad before you realize they're good. He'll refund your money if you go through his process and still don't like it. If you can't trust his process, you'll never be able to escape the bounds of your own logic. Feelings are the root of problems, so you can't write a bad review just because you 'feel' uncomfortable. But, I think feeling 'confused', lost, and both of us feeling not listened to is different (or at least need to be disclaimed on his website if that is indeed part of his process). Maybe we both needed to do a better job expressing ourselves, but it has to be at least in part due to the environment created in that office. Many of the other reviews are for smoking cessation. I could easily imagine that Rich has a set script he executes very well that leads to a lot of success. But, from our experience, he does not adapt well when things aren't easily defined and he has to work with nuance. read more

Update: Since meeting with Rich and playing the audio of the hypnosis daily for a period of time, I can now say that he was paramount in helping me get to the place I needed to get and I am where I am today because of him. I am so very grateful and I highly recommend him. Thank you, Rich. read more

Rich has helped me tremendously through my issues and transformed me and my perceptions as a man. He continues to help me through any struggles that I come across. Please give Rich at least an hour of your time and it will change your life. read more

I came to see Rich after my mother died unexpectedly. I had never experienced significant loss before and was a mess.  I was struggling in my professional and personal life. I tried traditional grief counseling, 1:1 and group, read forums, talked with other people, read books on grief, but was not getting the guidance I was looking for - everyone said it would take time. A friend recommended Rich, I was skeptical at first, hypnotherapy seemed a little too new-age for me. But I was at my wit's end and figured I had nothing to lose. I called him and his approach was very scientific and piqued my interest. He asked me questions that really caused me to look inside myself and his wide breadth of knowledge on religion, philosophy, behavioral therapy, and the human psyche are so insightful.  After our first session, I   was able to sleep - the first time in months. His recordings allowed me to regain control of my life and start living again. I am so glad I took a risk and booked a session. I highly recommend Rich at Remedy Hypnotherapy for anyone struggling and tired of run-of-the-mill approaches. read more

Hypnotherapy is this almost cray-cray therapudic option that I never considered until a close friend told me that a single session straight up, changed her life. Before that, 100% honest, I thought of the "doctor with a watch" - this *is* that (without the watch), but it might be time to correct your understanding of how strong and effective it can be. My friend had my attention knowing the thing she got help with was something we all identified as a problem, but were scratching our head like, "well, correcting problem x is just something *you do*..." Here's where hypnotherapy helps. This process of building a "specific device" that wraps up your weakness(es) or concerns into a mantra that answers their question, corrects their missteps, is totally amazing. And leveraging a trance-like relaxation state as a way to exercise that mantra totally makes sense. Here's the catch, though. I'm pretty sure in order for it to work, you've got to believe in your therapist... You've got to believe in their heart so your mind can open up and listen to their voice, and fully trust in allowing them to lead the way. This is where you want Rich Rios... his work is amazing. You'll see. He's not only a great listener (he'll say after a perk, "tell me more about that..."), but also an unstoppable detective in tracking down the root cause. Just literally won't stop until getting you there. So there I was, chatting with Rich, six hours had passed (over the course of two days - Rich still insisting on charging me the single fixed rate for one session, regardless) and just when we thought we needed to resume a following day, Rich says, "I've got it! We're ready to do the session." and wrapped up his notes. At that point we started the true hypnotherapy session and I realized that Rich's "notes" during our conversation were actually the entire script for the session, which he then gave without a single hitch. People, I'm telling you, I almost cried during this session it was so moving. It was tailored so personal, and just for me. After that, I catch myself applying all the advice, easily finding applications of the various mantra's we created throughout the day, because again, it covered everything that we talked about. So now, I'm not only a believer in this form of treatment, but I can't underscore the level of difference it makes to have Rich Rios guide you through it. The result was so creative, touching, and even sweet only like someone with such creative problem solving and compassion could do. Rich is a natural, and if you let him, his work will not only help you but it will amaze you too. -Take care, all. read more

Rich was extremely attentive to my case. He analyzed in the deepest level the roots of my issues, and helped me come to conclusions that no other therapist was able to achieve before (I saw at least three therapist before deciding to go for Rich). The results are definitely and very noticingly happening. Rich contacted me a month later to check how I was doing and whether I needed anything, because he cares about the patient, not his pocket. read more

I recently looked into hypnotherapy for motivational purposes. I tend to lose motivation when starting a new project and in other general aspects of my life. So, I took a chance and found Rich at Remedy. Using a holistic way of getting myself back on track. The general appointment process was easy and Rich reached out to me personally. During the appointment I relayed all of what I felt was pertinent to me being unmotivated. Rich took the time to listen and let me vent. Rich explained the process and the method that we would be using during my session. After our session was complete I felt ready to take on a new project without any of my own restraints getting in the way. I received the recordings for me to listen to on my own, which I've done since day 1 after our appointment. I honestly can't thank Rich enough for helping through this! Given that it was such a positive experience I'll probably start the life coaching with Rich too! My overall was wholesome and genuine. I can't wait to see what's next! If your looking for a different approach with anything your are battling, struggling or just need extra help please get a hold of Rich! I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Friday, 8/23 was my first session with Rich and I was extremely impressed with his attention to details and not trying to rush the process for a newbie. I found him on Yelp. I had never done hypnotherapy, but came in open-minded and ready to listen, follow instructions and hope for good results. Personally, I came with the help to stop smoking (30 year smoker), which I found was one of the most common issues. I knew of 2 others who quit successfully with hypnotherapy and thought I would give it a try. Rich was very patient and stayed beyond the initial 1 1/2 hours without charging me overtime. He was very professional, caring, calming and made me feel very comfortable. He recorded the hypnosis session we did towards the end of the meeting and sent it to me that same night so I can listen to it 2x a day at home. He recommended 2x a day, but at least 1x nightly for 3 weeks for the best results. Rich even sent another relaxation recording when I had mentioned that I had issues sleeping/insomnia. Before our meeting, I expected to have to attend several sessions and pay $100's of dollars with the "hope" of it may be working for me. I was pleasantly surprised that Rich suggested just the initial session and to feel free to contact him for support in between. I've looking forward to following Rich's suggestions, listening to the recording nightly and reporting back on my experience! So far, 3 days smoke-free. read more

I attended my hypnotherapy session today and was totally amazed. Rich was extremely professional and his office was comfortable - in a condo type complex I think. It was clean, comfortable and professional as well. The amount of time we spent on the interview was impressive. I asked why it was called an interview when that word sounds so cold. It was more like a get to know you session. He advised me the word interview was required by the professional association he works with. (I think that is what he said, I am paraphrasing.) During the interview, Rich was able to help me pinpoint a few different areas I wanted to work on. Then the hypnosis session itself lasted about 30 minutes, I think, and I even get a copy of it to use so that the hypnosis will bring me to success. I feel the value of our session was worth so much more than what I paid. If I were to put a price on it, I feel it was worth about $400 for both parts of the session. I very highly recommend this service -- at any price. read more

I met with Rich about a month ago after reading some of the reviews. I decided to try hypnotherapy for my many problems since seeing my therapist for over a year wasn't going anywhere. After meeting with Rich I felt very hopeful and optimistic, something I haven't felt in a long time. He's very wise and attentive. It is usually a one time meeting, which is great for my wallet since seeing a therapist for over a year drained my funds. I highly recommend giving Rich a shot at your concerns. I'm glad I did! read more

Hypnotherapy, it's probably not what you thought. It's not voodoo or quackery and nor is it only for the clinically doomed "kray kray", at least not when practiced correctly. If you have a specific problem, a "real" manifested problem or one hidden and created by your mind, hypnotherapy can be effective. This is true especially for issues that have not responded well to other forms of treatment. Perhaps you don't have a "problem", but would like to improve your life, relationships, reach a goal, etc. Rich has a natural talent and developed skill for hypnotherapy. With his great intuition, you reveal the subconscious underworld related to your goal/issue/problem. It's unbelievable how the way we think act, react, feel and perceive is often so intimately rooted in life experiences without our knowledge. These deeply rooted beliefs that we have picked up on the way, often do not serve us well. Rich is a very genuine and compassionate person who loves what he does. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is interested in hypnotherapy. read more

My acupuncturist referred me to Rich. I was nervous going into the appointment, not sure what to expect but Rich was easy to talk to, a great listener, and guide. After listening to the relaxation audio, I was already getting better sleep before even going in for my first appointment. I feel confident that I am already improving after our first session, and now I have my own recording to listen to daily. I recommend Rich and will be utilizing his services in the future. read more

I have had three sessions with Lynda. I appreciate her directness and professionalism. I feel her approach effective, and her suggestions to me useful. What I most like about her is the warmth and compassion that she transmits, especially in the recordings that she sends out. It's palpable yet subtle, which I find comforting. I would recommend Lynda as a hypnotherapist. One thing to note is that most insurances don't cover hypnotherapy, which makes the cost seem high. read more

After some recent changes in my life, I decided to return to practicing some mindfulness meditation in my everyday life. I tried Remedy's relaxation guided meditation. At first I was a bit turned off by the nasal tone of the speaker of the MP3. However, after using for several sessions, I realized the MP3 was placing me exactly where I wanted to be, in a state of being open minded and not worrying about things. read more

OK, I admit I was a bit of a skeptic. Not anymore! Rich has the amazing ability to get at the root of the issue you came to see him about, even if it's not what you think it is. He is a very empathetic listener, asks pointed questions, and seeks the best way to go about getting you the solution you desire as quickly as possible. There is no pressure to add sessions or buy anything extra. He is very straight forward and professional. Try Remedy Hypnotherapy, you won't be disappointed! read more

Rich is a phenomenal hypnotherapist. I've tried hypnotherapy twice previously with two others and didn't make any sort of improvement on my issues. I found other practitioners to be too regimented in their practice and very cookie cutter in their approach. Neither seemed to have any real understanding of my psychology, which really didn't help me. I like to say that with healing arts the modality is the paintbrush and the healer is the artist, and that the skill of the practitioner is far more important than what the choice of modality is. In my case, I had really severe anxiety regarding one person in my life, and I often had trouble making any sort of decision because my fear was so overwhelming that I would mentally spin around for hours in extended panic attacks which led to even more prolonged periods of depression. I've tried multiple prescriptions from psychiatrists with little effect, so I was really blown away at the changed that resulted for me. Rich was extremely, extremely helpful in helping me change the way I thought about my situation. I've been using his customized hypnosis tape for two weeks, and it's been beyond helpful with my depression and anxiety issues. For one, I seem to be actually able to relax these days, and the other amazing result is that it's become really easy for me to make decisions without constant analysis paralysis and lots of panic. It was really a life changing moment for me, to encounter Rich and experience the transformation that he's been able to facilitate for me. read more

I have been to Remedy Hypnotherapy for two different issues. Rich is very professional and caring. He made me feel very comfortable while talking about very personal issues. He actually takes the time to fully understand the body and mind components of health conditions. What I liked most about Rich's approach is he is fair-minded and generous. He took everything step by step and was careful to explain everything that I needed to know and understand. He also let me know that even if I don't end up needing more sessions that he was always available for questions. He made it very easy to talk with him about anything and everything. He asks the right questions I highly recommend Rich and Remedy Hypnotherapy. I have achieved my goals through working with Rich and I know he will be there for me in the future when I'm ready to work on any further issues. Thank you Rich! read more

Rich is an excellent hypnotherapist and a joy to work with. He's very...VERY detailed and will work to get to the bottom of whatever issues you're facing at the time and will help come up with workable solutions. If needing such help, your first step should be to call Rich right away. Cheers! read more

I went to see Rich about 2 or 3 years ago when I bought a 3 session package in one of those coupon apps. Didn't know what to expect but I always wanted to try hypnotherapy. I had this pre-conceived picture of what a hypnotherapy session would be and how the therapist will talk to me and go about with his work. Boy was I wrong! Rich is a very kind hearted, deep, knowledgeable therapist. He listened and we talked. He took notes and put everything in perspective. He helped me focus in on my issues and we tackled it. We can talk for days.. He will make you feel like your a long lost cousin or something.. Haha.. I felt really welcome and satisfied after those three sessions. I'm so satisfied that now I'm back again ... When I need that extra help .. That extra push.. Extra motivation.. First person I call is Rich. In 21 days you just might have whole new life... Just like I did. read more

Remedy Hypnotherapy - Now every body knows who to call .. lol.. Here is his calling card yall.. - Counseling & Mental Health Near Me - Mountain View, California

Rich is a very dedicated hypnosis! The amount of work and time he puts in to getting you right is phenomenal! The coolest thing is he isn't money driven, definitely results driven! Rich made me a track so I could continue listening to the session for increased results. Super appreciate it and I'd refer him to anyone who wants a change for the better. read more

I just met Rich Rios in December; had 4 sessions with him and am now enjoying the relaxation/motivation CDs from our sessions. I really enjoyed him as a professional hypnotherapist and a person. He REALLY listens and has a wonderful collaborative approach in order to individualize your sessions with him. I agree with the other posts I've read: he makes you feel very comfortable and I immediately trusted him. He is such a "learner" and loves sharing his knowledge. read more

I bought a package recently, but due to my current schedule and financial reasons I had to ask him for a refund. He took care of it in an instant! Rich is amazing! Totally not in the business for money. Can't wait to meet with him for a session. read more

If you were to ask the awesome psychotherapist I had seen weekly for 10 years to describe me in one sentence, he would probably say, "She's a tough nut to crack." And he would be right. I'm highly defensive and stubborn, and I cling tenaciously to my negative, skeptical, mistrustful pessimism. My awesome therapist with the patience of a saint would also have to admit that he let me wriggle out of things quite a lot. Who can blame him? I'm an exhausting pain in the ass. Rich Rios deserves a round of applause for not putting up with any of my BS and easily deflecting all my carefully crafted tactics designed to avoid talking about scary feelings. He called me on my excuses and shone a light on my own contribution to my general unhappiness - miraculously, without pissing me off. Rich is highly engaging, super smart, has a very unique perspective, and I think he is very good at what he does. He worked with me for a ridiculous amount of time, and I was quite shocked when he charged me almost half of what the last hypnotherapist charged - for a far shorter and vastly less comprehensive session. It speaks to his integrity that he would spend an entire evening with someone and only charge for an hour, because he simply wanted to help someone who was struggling. It would seem that Rich is very invested in helping people just for the sake of it, not for monetary gain. I'd like to clarify the recent posts regarding the "relaxation track" for those who may not understand the reference - you are sent kind of a generic demo MP3 when you schedule your first appointment. He then records your hypnotherapy session during your visit and sends you an MP3 of that. What you wind up with is a custom track that hits on your individual key issues. I've never actually listened to the demo track so I can't comment, but the recording of my session is great. It's very fluid and cohesive, and I genuinely believe it's helping me to make progress with my veritable cornucopia of issues. In summary: Rich is a really good guy with loads of insight, who is in it to help people. He's got the fortitude to pin you down if you need pinning down. You wind up with a quality product that you can revisit as often as you like. I can't recommend him enough. read more

The next day after a session with Rich, I was able to do some of what I set out to do. I am excited to continue with the hypnotherapy process until I am able to do all I set out to do. Rich is good! read more

I have recently changed things in my life to reduce stress (including quitting a job that was no longer healthy for me) and have discovered meditation along with many other new things. I have listened to several different meditation and guided relaxation recordings and really find them relaxing and refreshing. I recently received an MP3 file from Remedy Hypnotherapy and put it on my iPhone and used earphones to listen (I find this the best way since it helps block out any noises that you might hear that might take your focus away). At first the narrators voice was hard to get used to, the drawl at the end of the words was throwing me off but after I listened a few more times I was able to get into a good relaxation and if I listen at night it put me right to sleep. The first few times I followed all the visuals and came out refreshed and relaxed. I also listened when I went to bed but I don't remember the end since I fell asleep. So obviously it works. I would be interested to try other recording for various issues but for general relaxation and to just de-stress your system or take a step back and reboot yourself this is the perfect way to go, get your MP3 and you can have it with you anytime you need it on your phone or iPod. I would LOVE to have an actual one on one session but do not live in the area so the MP3 is the perfect way to do this at home. read more

Tonight I had my first session with Rich and was extremely impressed. I didn't know what to expect because I am new to hypnotherapy and all I knew about Rich was the information from this yelp page and his website. I am SO happy I called and made an appointment. Rich was professional, caring and made me feel very comfortable even while talking about very personal, private issues. He was the first medical professional I've seen to actually take the time to fully understand the the body and mind components of my health condition and even stayed an hour later than expected in order to be thorough. He recorded the hypnosis session we did towards the end of the meeting and sent it to me so I can listen to it every day at home. Before our meeting, I expected to have to come in regularly to meet with Rich on an ongoing basis and was very pleased to learn that you don't necessarily need more than one session. Just from one session he was able to hone in on issues I have struggled with and sought professional (MDs, therapists etc) help for for over 10 years. He also let me know that even if I don't end up needing more sessions that he was always available for questions etc. I'm looking forward to listening to the tape Rich so carefully made for me and reporting back on my experience! read more

Well there is $440 and 6 hours we won't get back. The actual session felt like it was always almost going somewhere but never really got anywhere. We needed to write this really extensive essay based on all these questions ahead of time and we both gave it a bunch of thought to find Rich hadn't even read mine before the appointment. This meant much of the time was spent just filling him in on things he could've gotten by actually reading the assignments he set us. It felt like he did a lot of talking and very little listening and we left feeling disheartened and frustrated. On top of that, he promised to send us a deep analysis and exercises we could do once he came back from vacation. He was back 5 weeks ago and still no report!! At best this is an alpha male who will interrupt you a bunch and at the worst it's a total scam. Please be warned! He told us we could have a refund if we weren't happy so I'm guessing that's why you don't see more negative reviews on here. Run awaaaaay! read more

I've met with Rich a few times and every time he is extremely professional. He "warned" me about the interview before we met the first time and I laughed....Why would you go to a hypnotherapist if you weren't ready to bear your soul about things that you need help with, whether it's weight loss, smoking, or the stressers in your life?? I was amused not only because it seemed like common sense but because when I met with Rich, he made it very easy to talk with him about anything and everything. He asks the right questions and if, like me, you want to focus on multiple areas, he can help you determine where to focus your energy to obtain the best results. No matter what your stressor or issue, Rich can help you focus on the steps to take to be successful and feel fulfilled. read more

10/1/2013 was my first session. Rich is very professional and you can tell he loves what he does and wants to help you. I came to his office with some issues I had been trying to change for a long time. I had gone to regular therapy many times before but never had the results I am getting now just in one session. The very next day I woke up feeling energized and with a positive outlook in life. Rich was great as he took the time to get to know me before we did hypnosis. I spent a lot of time talking and explaining to him what I had gone through. I highly recommend him for anybody is thinking about hypnotherapy. The price is great for what you're getting. It is a life changing experience :):). read more
