You know, if you'd told me a year ago that I'd be sitting here raving about hypnotherapy, I probably would've laughed. Not in a rude way--just in that "Yeah, right" kind of way. I wasn't a believer. I walked into that room with a fair bit of skepticism, thinking, "Well, let's just see what this is all about." What I found, though, was something truly remarkable. From the moment I sat down, I felt safe--like, really safe. And that's not something I say lightly. There was just something about the way Bill spoke, the way he listened, the way he guided me--not pushing, not forcing, just leading me right to where I needed to be. It was like they had this deep intuition and sixth sense, knowing exactly what doors to open in my mind. And then, at some point, a switch just flipped. I can't explain it any other way. One minute, I was tangled up in the same old anxious thoughts I'd carried for years, and the next--it was like someone turned on a light in a room I didn't even know existed. The clarity that hit me in that moment? It was staggering. Not just about my anxiety, but about my life, my choices, my patterns. The paths had always been there, I just hadn't been able to see them. But here's the part that still amazes me: the impact didn't stop when I walked out of that room. It's like something inside me had been rewired. Every day since, I've noticed subtle but profound shifts--a deeper sense of calm, insights that just seem to appear out of nowhere, and this growing clarity about who I am and where I'm headed. It's not magic, but damn, it sure feels close. If I had to put it into words, I'd say this experience was like working with a master sculptor--someone who doesn't just hack away at the surface but meticulously, patiently reveals the masterpiece underneath. And the best part? The work keeps unfolding long after the session ends. It's not a quick fix--it's a "gift that keeps on giving" kind of thing. Looking back, I realize I didn't just walk away with relief from anxiety. I walked away with a whole new way of seeing myself. And I can't tell you how grateful I am--for taking the leap, for finding someone with that level of skill and intuition, and for the way this experience continues to ripple through my life in ways I never saw coming. So yeah, if you're on the fence about hypnotherapy like I was, I get it. But if there's even the smallest part of you that's curious, take the leap. You might just be surprised by what you find. I know I was. read more

Great service and very helpful. Studio was very nice and clean. It's too bad that most people only go on Yelp to complain. Highly recommend this business! read more

On the day I came with my husband told me Bill was big on being on time... so we were 15 minutes early, Bill was not on time, he was 22 minutes late. Saying his early customer had issue with electronic payment. We came in and I sat down quietly and just listened because I was there for support... I walked in and was immediately overwhelmed by the smell of pet urine. The place was clean but the sound of a dog lapping while trying to listen in on the session was a little distracting but it was behind a curtain and I like the fact the dog didn't wander out. They did part of the session but then we got up and left that room. Bill took us back in a separate room ( this is where my husband normally gets gems put in his hands and around him I was told) Bill sat down and I noticed no gems... well ok. Bill started talking fast in a calming voice but ever once in a while he was say "always listen to Angie". Ummm huh?? He said it several times. This was creepy. We went back out in the main room and I thought there would be more to make up for the lateness but NOPE! He charged the full rate for 2/3s of the session ( thankfully I could get out of the smell) they made a appt for the following week and we left. While we were walking out he again said "make sure you listen to Angie" I rolled my eyes. ( give me a break, I needed a partner not a slave) Keep in mind he made a appt for my husband the following week... The following week my husband confronted him about charging full session when he was owed 22 additional minutes and my husband brought up the horrendous smell.... Bill started to tell my husband he didn't need any more sessions and should of ended the sessions the week prior then made excuses that he needed to leave for some errands... If he didn't need any more sessions then why make a appt for the next week? Bill didn't believe there's a dog urine smell.... Check your yelp reviews Bill. There's a few on there. Or better yet ask your current customers.... I had my jacket sleeve covering my nose during the session it was so foul. Didn't he sessions work? I didn't see a change in my husband. But every time we drive by his location it takes me back to that smell... disgusting! read more

I'm absolutely amazed by how in only few sections I was able to get so much better , At first I didn't really believe that hypnotherapy could really work on me, but I was wrong, he is a amazing professional , and he helps me to overcome the depression, I would highly recommend to everyone then if you are suffering from depression to try to do at least couple sections, change my life may changed yours ...

My main goal this year was selfimprovement. Hypnotherapy was recommended. I did a lot of research before finding Bill. Reviews, and how the person spoke to me was important. I had called a few other places locally in Slc, that took days/ literally weeks to return my call. I found another place that had a promo offer but when i asked how the process worked and how much am i financially committing to, she got really snappy with me. This is a commitment, i wanted to know what i was getting into and let me tell you with something like this, you get what you pay for! I would not recommend the places on "groupon" after your first session you'll get an aggressive upsell. I really appreciated that Bill was direct with his time and his prices, what to expect and had no problem explaining the process, never pressuring me to schedule an appointment first. The location is very convenient, scheduling is extremely easy and flexible. Communication is above and beyond, Bill does all the communication. I love that i don't sit in a waiting room, or run into other people. Bill works around your schedule, he's been very accommodating. I also appreciate when he has let me know what i could improve not just during the session but for the rest of my week. He's been very insightful and helpful for me starting another company. Bill is extremely resourceful and intuitive. I'm so glad that i have invested in myself. Everyone has things we can improve, from how we love others, how we love ourselves, our outlook on life, gaining confidence and attracting the right things in life. In the time i've had my 8 sessions i've had some major turning points for my life. I feel good about my future, my direction, confidence etc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BILL! read more

Incredible results after just the first few sessions, as someone who has been in and out of traditional therapy for many years this is one of the few times where I've felt genuine improvements in the areas that I want to work on. If you haven't tried hypnotherapy you should, and there's no where else you should go but here. read more

I had a horrible experience. First, he told my boyfriend and then me the cost was $200 for the first session. He then said it was $400. His home smelled like dog pee. He was treating me for smoking. That night I had the biggest craving. The next time he worked on my sleeping. I didn't sleep much at all. He says when you come out of hypnosis, you will feel great. But I didn't. I let him know all of this, he then started to blame me. I told him I would write a bad review (I know, childish on my part), he said he would have his lawyers get involved. Over a bad review. I then contacted the BBB. He started threatening me. Telling me to remove the bad review and drop the BBB case or he would have his lawyers go after me. I filed a police report against him to stop the harassment. If you look him up on Facebook, it says he has a doctorate in psychology. But if you look on Linkedin, he graduated from BYU in some other field. Hopefully, this will help you. There are other hypnotists that are much more forthright and not so angry. read more

I turned to hypnotherapy after trying everything else I could think of to overcome my fear of flying. I had 5 sessions with Bill. Since then I have flown 6 times and have not had a panic attack. I'm even starting to enjoy flying. This method of therapy is different and it is expensive. But there's no doubt it works somehow. I wish I had found Bill sooner. read more

I first had sessions with Bill about 4 years ago and he absolutely sparked a huge life change. At first we met in person, now, 4 years later I have contacted Bill from California and we do phone sessions. Having hypnotherapy over the phone in my opinion works almost better, I feel like because I'm in my own bed I anchor the new information into my daily life and it's more comfortable for me. Living in San Diego, there are lots of hypnotherapists out to choose from. However, I decided to go with Bill Draney because of how deeply our original appointments influenced me. He is absolutely authentic and this is number one for me. When working with issues that frustrate me, I need to be candid and receive candid yet passionate counsel. Bill Draney tells me the truth and puts himself out there in a way that both empowers me and helps me feel safe, knowing I am in good hands during hypnosis. I would highly recommend working with Bill either through the phone or in person. Over the phone hypnotherapy really can be more effective in some cases, however, either way I recommend loving yourself enough to let Bill help you. The week following our last session has been amazing. The people around me are respecting me and responding to the changes within. I am extremely grateful for the authenticity again. I cannot stand how some practitioners in the realm of hypnotherapy, etc. are not real and open! It doesn't help me when people are this way and this is why I work with Bill Draney from California. Thank you Sugarhouse Hypnotherapy. read more

Bill Draney is absolutely fantastic. I've seen results with my own personal situations. He has helped me understand my past and allowed me to come to terms with the things I cannot change. He has become a vital part to my life journey of finding myself and understanding who I am. He has changed my life and I cannot imagine what I would have done if I had not seen bill. I highly recommend him. If I could give him more stars, I absolutely would. If you want an answer to what is troubling you or if you just want closure and guidance with whatever you are facing bill is the right person. He specializes everything for the client, he gives you the tools you need in order to overcome and gain closure. Please see bill if you're truly ready for your life to change. read more
