-Valorie J. Wells, Ph.D.
Clinical Hypnosis is NOT the same as the entertainment of a stage hypnotist. The performer in a comedy club knows that only the “class clown” type of personality is going to volunteer to come up on stage in front of a room full of strangers and quack like a duck.
You will soon recognize the value of therapeutic clinical hypnosis in your first session with Dr. Wells.
“You are never out of control. You are actually in a heightened state of awareness, using your Inner Self or subconscious mind, to act as an Inner Coach.”
After a two- year field study in the use of hypnotic regression for identity crisis, Dr. Wells dedicated her practice exclusively to clinical hypnosis in 1998. Her areas of specialty include behavior modification, obstetrical hypnosis, regression therapy, pain control and fear/phobia resolution.
Dr. Valorie Wells is the only full-time clinical hypnotherapist, practicing in the metropolitan Kansas City area, who is a member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). For example, using the ASCH protocol for smoking cessation, Dr. Wells sees 85-89% effectiveness. The program, which was developed at the University of Texas-Austin, incorporates four office visits and allows for five years of follow up care, as needed.
She works in collaboration with many area physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists and hospitals. She is a member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, American Association of Behavioral Therapists and the International Association of Counselors and Therapists.
