Norman Plotkin Hypnotherapy

I had a great experience with hypnosis from Norm. I used hypnosis for smoking cessation. Norm was really committed to helping me ditch the habit. I had one session which worked very well but really wanted to solidify the work by doing and additional session. I even had to reschedule a few times and Norm was super patient with me. I recommend hypnosis with Norm for anyone that is committed to quitting smoking. More...

Working with Norman has been a profound experience. His professionalism is exceptional and has the skills to help with deep everlasting transformation. Norman authentically wants his clients to reach the results they need, I felt that with each session. He tunes into your pain to transform it into light for your highest good. I had felt the shift in consciousness after my first session. My 4 year old son even came up to me and said "mommy your voice has changed and I like that". Implying that my anxious ramblings have changed into a sea of calm words. It also altered my son's mood instantly after my first session and we are BOTH benefiting from this healing which is magical. My son and I are still being elevated into a more positive evolutionary relationship from these sessions. I'm smiling more and feeling upbeat. Each day feels a little brighter. Norman is a true healer and I'm so grateful for his dedication to the art of Hypnosis. More...

I wanted to take the time to let people know about the truly transformative experience I had in 3 hypnotherapy sessions with Norman. I am a clinician, and I do psychotherapy with a variety of clients ranging from people with acute anxiety and depression, to survivors of severe trauma. I also suffer from anxiety, myself. Though I have had many years of therapy, ranging various modalities, I have continued to suffer from anxiety. I have gotten better over the years, but have still had problems dealing with my anxiety when confronted with personally stressful or fearful situations. Recently, I had to take a very difficult exam which I had not been able to pass on 2 separate occassions. I came very close, but was somehow not able to break through. I decided to try hypnotherapy. Norman is very kind, personable, and knowledgeable, was able to speak directly to my concerns, and lay out a plan of action with me, to help me pass this exam. I had 3  sessions with him, and did the exercises he told me to do between sessions. I immediately started to feel much more calm and positive, I started sleeping better, and I actually woke up refreshed, positive, and happy on the morning of the exam. I passed. It was incredible to get such support and feel so much more confident in such a short period of time. I am so grateful to Norman, and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to try hypnotherapy, and seeks healing and empowerment in their lives. Thank you! More...

I had been a smoker for about two years before I met Norm. The past year had been about 15 cigarettes a day, and I was really starting to feel lousy (both physically and mentally). I knew I needed to stop, but I did not have a coherent game plan or strategy in place for how to do so. I may not have even had the motivation, as I always found a reason to delay quitting.In Norm's first session, he told me he would change the way I rationalize my smoking behavior. Instead of finding a reason TO smoke, I would use my rational mind to fight the urge and see how the negative effects of smoking outweigh the positive feelings I had let my mind associate with smoking. The first few days were physically demanding as my body detoxified, but I was able to continuously reassure myself that I was on the right path. Every day, it became a little bit easier and easier to resist the cravings, and I grew proud of my progress just as Norm said I would. He checked in with me several times to ensure I was maintaining my commitment to him and the program by not smoking, and he continued to offer emergency sessions should I feel I needed extra support at any given time.Would I have quit without Norm's help? Maybe, but I don't know how long that would have taken, and I don't feel it would have been as sustainable without Norm prioritizing my values in my subconscious.Thanks Norm! More...

It was my first ever hypnotherapy and it was the most wonderful experience. Norman is trustworthy and very knowledgable. The session helped me heal fears that are associated with performing and connecting to my dance partner. It significantly improved my art. Thank you. More...

Norman uses innovative and creative hypnotic techniques to improve the human learning process  and habit formation. He is able to alter self-defeating habits by elimination through dehypnotization.  He creatively addresses individual behavior patterns and through hypnotic suggestibility offers new behavior patterns. Norman demonstrates how hypnosis can be a pleasurable state within a controlled environment guiding you with positive messages into the subconscious mind that over time leads to the new behavior you want to feel on a daily basis. It is this ability that makes him a superior therapist through his use of hypnotic suggestion. More...

This man does PHENOMENAL work!!!!! I always look forward to my sessions with Norman. I refer to him as my therapist because his service was so well rounded and healing for my mind and psyche. Upon meeting him, his friendly, warm demeanor immediately made me feel safe and at ease with whatever was troubling me. The personal assessment he did made me trust him even more knowing that my session was crafted for me specifically. He dug into who I am as a person, got some history, did a personality analysis then performed his magic. He guided me through the entire process of hypnotherapy with such professionalism and skill and left me in awe of my entire experience. He has uncovered the root to some issues in me and has wiped them out completely in just a few sessions. I don't get to visit him very much at all but I guess thats a good thing........He is just so great at his work!!!! More...

I recently went to Norm for a hypnotherapy session to see if it would help me with one aspect of my life that has been creating conflict in my mind – and there for causing me to feel stressed. I had experiences with hypnotherapy and no one has been as effective at helping with my issues. Norm is very caring and patient in getting me relaxed enough to go into that magical place where the light goes on in my head. I strongly suggest everyone who is struggling with stressful situations give Norm a try.

Norman is a wonderful therapist and healer. He is helping me overcome my creative blocks as an artist. Before I knew it I started drawing again, and he has helped me to let go of the old resistance that had been blocking my path to success. He is genuine, caring, and extremely helpful in terms of identifying your core problem and what you can do to release it. I tried hypnotherapy on a whim, and going to Norman was the best decision I ever made. More...

Norm did a great job in my session and I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to improve themselves in any way.  I scheduled a session with Norman because I wanted to feel empowered in my career.  Norman did a thorough assessment of me before doing any treatment, and that made me feel more comfortable to know that he was focusing on the quality of what he was doing and not skipping anything.  When he started the hypnosis, I felt very relaxed, and as I listened to him talk me through the steps I was able to fall into a pretty deep state.  It felt easy to become suggestible to the empowerment messages and it was a great, successful session!

Stellar experience!!! I went to Norm because I have had some difficulty sleeping as a result of my busy work schedule. My goal was to help channel some positive energy towards my inner self, so that I can clear my thoughts and sleep well. I achieved all of this and much more. To begin with, Norm has a very calm and friendly demeanor. From the moment I stepped into his office, I felt a sense of calm and relaxation. Norm makes you feel comfortable and he helps focus his sessions on your personal needs. What I enjoyed was that he explains the process and asks you what it is you wish to accomplish (in my case, it was to sleep better). Overall, my experience there was great and I highly recommend that everyone try this out at least once. It is a very unique and valuable experience. I had never tried hypnotherapy before, but I am looking forward to going back. (PS: contrary to what you may see in movies, you are in full control of what is going on). My greatest take away: during that 1 hour session, I was able to shut off my thoughts (thanks to Norm's help) and I was able to focus on myself. When I left, I felt very calm and relaxed. It was like getting a massage for my mind. More...

I went to Norm in hopes of finding peace with an aspect of my job I despised, that being cold calling.  Norm gave me an incredible amount of time and attention.  We went well over the one hour appointment duration on each visit.  He took the time to understand the core of my problem and customize a specific plan to help me overcome it.  He provided me with great advice including relaxing techniques, confidence building, and preparation tips.  I found him to be genuinely caring and helpful.  The strategies he provided me with were instrumental in helping me overcome my issue.  I know he's experienced in helping people handle many different hang ups, phobias, conditions, etc.  What's also impressive is the small amount of time it takes.  I'm sure each situation varies, but for me it was a mere 3 weeks.

Norm has opened my eyes to an amazing alternative for pain management. I have always been into meditation, and natural healing but must admit was not sure how I felt about hypnotherapy. I suffer from fibromyalsia, and became pregnant with a very difficult pregnancy. When I found Norm he had no problem explaining to me the power of the mind and the ability to reprogram our mind behind the scenes. I have completed several sessions with Norm for hypnobirthing. These sessions have allowed me to enjoy pregnancy which was not the case before.He is warm, inviting, and has a calming sense about him. I would also like to share that he successfully aided my husband in smoking cessation for the health of our expectant baby prior to his deployment. Once he returns from overseas I am sure he will love to share his experience with Norm! More...

Norm has such a wonderful and easy going manner and makes you immediately comfortable. He provides great insight and can help whatever you are looking to heal and shift. During my first session with him, he was able to pinpoint very clearly some of the dynamics and blocks in my current situation and help me move towards resolution. I like that Norm is both very grounded and comfortable in the metaphysical and physical realm. He understands how both interplay together as many healers are focused too much on one or the other. I highly recommend him. Thanks Norm! More...
