I went to Jake for help with some major anxiety issues that arose after an incident. It was affecting my day to day life - work, social, and personal in really debilitating ways. I felt pretty hopeless, and trapped. I didn't know what to do. I was suspect of hypnotherapy helping, believing I wasn't susceptible enough to this method (I'd tried hypnotherapy once years ago with someone in NYC and was aware the whole time and did not fall asleep or anything along those lines - nor feel any change afterwards). Jake had a great way of explaining the process, and that it's not like you see on TV. The other yelp reviews made me think he could help, so I decided to try it. After one session my anxiety issues that had been plaguing me for over 3 months were gone completely. It's nuts. It's unbelievable... yet, it worked. I can't begin to explain the relief. And now, the "before" just seems like this dark time in my life that has passed now. When I was in it, I couldn't even fathom ever getting out. After the amazing success from our first session, I'm now continuing to see Jake to address a couple other issues and bad habits and so far, so good. It's expensive, but worth it. I see it as a faster and more effective line of therapy. I'm so thankful I found him. More...

I don’t event know where to begin... I was bulimic for 19 out of my 30 years in my physical body. I had been doing work around my eating disorder and preparing myself to shed it when I found Jake. After one session, he managed to stop my behaviors completely. I’ve worked with numerous healers throughout my recovery process, but Jake was the one that opened the door to the other side for me. He is unbelievably intuitive and knew exactly how to speak to my subconscious mind to assist it in letting go of a behavior it had held so closely for so many years.There is no way to put a dollar value on what he does, he literally gave my life back to me.,Thank you Jake for the amazing work that you do.

Jake was instrumental in my recovery after a series of traumatic events. I was referred to him by a friend and I am eternally grateful for the recommendation. I had never done hypnotherapy before and I was a little nervous, but Jake was extremely patient, calming, and supportive. And after the session started, all of my hesitation melted away. Through our sessions, Jake helped me to overcome a lot of emotional pain that has plagued me for years. I couldn't sleep. I had crippling anxiety. Quite frankly, I had lost all faith that good things can happen in life. And after working with Jake, I finally feel like I can breathe again.Seeking out help can be terrifying, but I strongly suggest hypnotherapy sessions with Jake. More...

For the past 10 years I struggled with a candy addiction as well as a complete lack of motivation. I wasn't sure how to solve it. I had tried everything. I heard a friend had used hypnotherapy to quit smoking so I figured I would exhaust all options and give this a try. I was scared and had no idea what to expect, but it ended up being the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. It was a little less than a year ago when I had my first session and since then I haven't touched candy and I go to the gym at least 5 times a week. Jake helped me get a grip of my addiction and then completely destroy it. If you're having doubts my best advice is to just give it a try. I didn't think it would work. It was a complete success and I would recommend everyone to not walk but RUN to this man for help. More...

So I had been smoking something daily since the age of 15 and I'm 43 years old. I had been want to stop smoking for a long long time but I truly believed I couldn't go without it. My fiancé was really worried about the impact smoking would have on me in the coming years as we plan to have children. She urged me to try hypnosis, I was definitely skeptical but I started asking around and it turns out I knew people that used it to stop smoking. I had two sessions with Jake and have not smoked since our first meeting. Moreover I didn't really have any serious cravings, my obsession with smoking seemed to disappear. I was blown away, probably the best thing I have ever done. If you are thinking about quitting smoking you gotta try this!!! More...

It's taken me too long to write this review on how amazing Jake of Westside Hypnotherapy is. I decided to finally work through my fears of deep water and drowning that have plagued me for 15 years and book a hypnotherapy session with Jake. He would give me homework afterwards to listen to our recorded sessions, which I diligently did. After a few sessions I noticed a feeling of light was that I had, and no more dreams of drowning. I eventually enrolled in private swim lessons with a coach in early 2018 and I've been swimming ever since. I've jumped in the deep ocean off a boat and I swim in deep water pools quite frequently these days. Swimming and treading water have become something I look forward to, like how when I was a kid at the YMCA. I truly appreciate what Jake did for me and want others to experience the joy that comes from addressing your fears through services like hypnotherapy.Sorry it took me so long; thank you so much Jake!!

Right away, I noticed a change in the anxiety I typically go through. Jake mentioned that it is normal to experience a significant change in whatever his clients are going through within the first session. I can attest to the effectiveness of his hypnosis method. I feel confident after this first session and I'm looking forward to seeing gradual improvement in my anxiety each appointment. Thank you Jake! More...

As a business owner here in Los Angeles, I live a pretty stressful life. I didn't really believe in hypnosis or hypnotherapy but after a friend of mine had success using Jake at Westside Hypnotherapy, I decided to give it a try. I had a lot of times where my stress and anxiety was getting to be too much so I would find myself eating and snacking at night and started to put on weight. Plus the anxiety was just too much at times. After a couple of hypnosis sessions, I found myself feeling more calm and relaxed and surprised by the benefits of hypnotherapy. My snacking is under control now B'H" and and I no longer have the desire for late-night junk food.
