At Berkeley Hypnosis, I can help you successfully:
*Stop Smoking
I use five techniques to cover the different aspects that keep you coming back to cigarettes like an ex you know is bad for you, but you can't seem to break up with. I help you break your attachment to cigarettes, break free of the three or four cigarettes per day that you really enjoy (like the one with your morning coffee or the one with dinner or the ones during your breaks at work).

Mahesh used hypnosis and his profound empathic gift to help me resolve anxiety, self-esteem and emotional control problems. The office visit revealed deep past issues , and Mahesh provided easy-to-use tools to take home or anywhere. I can use these techniques to feel better and interact with others in a more fulfilling way. Continued guidance from Mahesh is helping me in this regard. More...

Pain takes many forms. My experience with BHPMI was extraordinary. We removed blocks and installed positive reinforcements that only I could understand and use specific to my concern. I also learned meditation scenarios that I am still benefitting from ona daily basis. I highly recommend this business. More...

Berkeley Hypnosis and Pain Management provides personalized hypnotherapy to address a wide range of physical pain, addiction, and anxiety/stress issues. The owner, Mahesh, provided me with a technique to address my 'inner critic' that was affecting my self-esteem and causing stress. Mahesh introduces the underlying psychological concepts of pain and stress and demonstrates the ability of hypnosis to help resolve the clients' issues. Some of these demonstrations are done in free Meetup events, showing his desire to serve the community. In individual sessions, Mahesh takes the time to understand the client's issue and provides personalized therapy. He gives each client practices to take home to continue their healing process.

I once was a needlephobic (not a real word) diabetic that had to test four times a day and take insulin 4x a day as well. I felt doomed . I was scared of pricking my finger to draw blood. I didn’t follow my doctors instructions and ended up having uncontrollable diabetes. As much as I wanted to get better, I couldn’t bring myself to make a commitment to test and take my shots... until I met Mahesh Grossman of Berkeley Hypnosis & Pain Management. He helped me find the root cause of my fear and to develop a plan that I immediately put to use to successfully test and take my shots. Four years later, because I was diligent in getting my health right, my doctor has reduced my insulin intake. A couple of years later I was able to get off insulin completely.Thank you Mahesh!

I’d been waking up feeling really anxious for two years until about six months ago. I was convinced I couldn’t be hypnotized, but Mahesh helped me relax into a hypnotic state rather easily. Our work together, plus the tools Mahesh gave me to use on my own, helped tremendously in reducing my morning anxiety. I have been anxiety free for the past six months I also found that I am sleeping better at night. More...

Mahesh is a true empath — one who has an uncannily accurate sense of what’s happening in others’ experiences. In the work we’ve done together, his insights have led me to numerous epiphanies that have helped me understand my life. He also has taught me a seemingly endless number of tools and techniques to lower anxiety and increase well-being. I recommend him without reservation. More...

I have been working with the "control room" technique, from the audio which Mahesh has created, and it has been very helpful. It's helped me with the pain and fatigue I get from having Chronic Lymes and also with the stress I have been currently going through. I just turn down the dials in my "control room" on things I wish to have less of, or turn up the dials of things I want more of in my life. I found the more I do it daily, the easier it becomes to visualize and implement.The audio from his website has been very helpful and is very well done. Mahesh is a master at Hypnotherapy techniques! This is only one of the many Hypnotherapy tools that can be used in a powerful way to help a person overcome the obstacles that get in the way of living fully. More...

What do you love most about your job?
As a hypnotherapist, I love the tangible results I see and hear about from clients: A man, who suffered from morning anxiety, wakes up relaxed for the first time in years; a woman gets over her needle phobia so she can manage her diabetes and eventually loses 150 pounds. Another woman suddenly finds it easy to walk up stairs after hypnosis takes away her sciatica and neuropathy. Not to mention everyone who gets healthier by quitting cigarettes. That’s why I’m on a mission to help more people discover—and experience—how hypnosis alleviates physical and emotional pain, including anxiety and depression, as well as well as making it easy to break harmful habits like overeating and smoking. All of this works much faster than therapy or counseling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to be able to work deeply with people through hypnosis and my other talents, which include building an energetic connection with my clients so they can work at a more profound level and resolve their issues more completely than they do in a typical hypnosis or therapy environment.
Why should our clients choose you?
After 30-plus years of my own inner work, I have had the courage to heal all the places inside myself that most people are initially afraid to go to. When people come for a session, my comfort with these areas seems to affect them. They go deeper into themselves than they've ever gone with any other therapist or hypnotist. Clients almost feel as if they are giving themselves a psychic reading. Many have said that working with me is like a "lucid dream on steroids" or an LSD or mescaline trip without the drugs.
Like many "wounded healers," I had to heal myself from crazy childhood. In order to do that, I learned a full arsenal of hypnosis and psychological techniques. More importantly, I discovered I could come up with specific images, metaphors and methods that worked better than what I was taught. I've found that, not only do these techniques work for my clients, but that I also have a weird way of of either 1) coming up with techniques and images that are precisely right for what a client needs or 2) helping my clients discover their own best ways to help themselves. Because of that, I can quickly help you discover and change the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck in bad habits like smoking or overeating, or make you anxious, phobic, depressed, or unable to control your anger.
Some issues, like stopping smoking and phobias, can be resolved in 1 appointment. Most others take only 4 - 12 sessions, depending on your specific needs. You will find that you go through a transformation rather quickly, compared to the 4 months to a year most people spend in therapy. And because I help you access and heal the deepest parts of your subconscious, hypnotherapy with me has a long lasting, and often permanent effect.
