Although a significant amount of research has shown positive results regarding the success of hypnosis in general, the contents of this specific website have not been evaluated by the FDA nor approved by any other government or official body. We are not practicing medicine, but offering self-improvement aid and education. Some clients may already be working with a psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, psychiatrist, psychologist, master of family child counseling, master of social work and don't find this to be in conflict with what a hypnotherapist can help you achieve.

None of the processes or the advice you receive here substitutes for medical attention, and they are neither intended as, nor should be used as, a substitute for your physician's role in monitoring and treating you. You should always consult your physician before following any alternative solution to a problem such as this, or before taking any products or following any health regimen.

Linda Stark uses different types of hypnosis that are customized to each individual client according to his or her needs. Upon admission to our programs, clients agree to be hypnotized so that their hypnotists can help them through setting specific goals and by giving suggestions on how to achieve goals and overcome personal challenges they have chosen to work on while in a self-hypnotic state. Suggestion is the artful use of imagination within a self-hypnotic state to increase a client’s enthusiasm for self improvement and making good decisions using self-help techniques. Self-help techniques are thinking strategies used by normally-functioning people to remind themselves of improvements they wish to make in their lives. Such strategies are taught by hypnotists using suggestion while the client is in the self-hypnotic state.

Linda Stark may use these techniques to help clients regain self-control over alcohol, cigarettes or other drugs, manage their weight, regain a positive mental attitude, manage situational stress, improve sleep, reduce apprehensions or fears, determine and set goals, become more optimistic, teach self-confidence, and promote general wellness in their lives.

For a client to succeed a client has to accept the responsibility of doing his/her part. Hypnosis is an active, participatory therapy and cannot succeed without the client’s full commitment and complete cooperation. Only enroll for hypnotherapy if you are serious about accomplishing your goals once and for all.

According to top experts in the field of hypnosis and psychology (Milton Erickson, Richard Bandler, Dave Elman and others) everyone with normal brain function can be hypnotized. The vast majority of clients succeed in their goals quickly and with few sessions. However, for the occasional clients who have unusual difficulty and need more sessions than average, our policies provide an incentive for those clients not to give up.

It is impossible to guarantee the behavior of another human being and that sometimes there are psychological or medical issues involved. In those cases mental health counseling may be needed. This is beyond the specialized service of hypnosis that Linda Stark offers.

Linda Stark does not do Psychotherapy. Linda Stark does not prescribe drugs, diagnose any medical conditions or provide treatment for such conditions. Linda Stark uses methods of hypnosis, visualization, guided imagery and relaxation. Linda Stark utilizes unique skills and methods of the alternative therapeutic modality known as hypnosis and uses only those skills in order to coach, teach, guide, instruct, and train clients to help themselves.

If psychotherapy or medical help is necessary then the client must accept all responsibility for seeking such help on his/her own. This does not lessen the ability of Linda Stark to help him/her in addition to outside psychological or medical counseling nor does it relieve a client from prior agreements. There are no contraindications of hypnosis and hypnosis can be used in addition to any and all other medical and psychological treatments.
Linda Stark’s time is valuable and sought after and she charges per visit, which is due at the time of the session. 24 hour notice is required for cancellations, or the full fee will be charged. Linda Stark does not issue refunds under any circumstances.

Linda Stark reserves the right to refuse service to clients who come to their appointments under the influence of alcohol or any other mind-altering drug. If a client comes to their appointment under the influence a second time, Linda Stark will permanently refuse services to this client.

Linda Stark reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to permanently refuse service to clients who are belligerent or physically abusive in any way to any member of Linda Stark or other clients.
