Peer ledger
Psychologists and physicians who watched the work
“I have had the expected pleasure of observing Dr. Macy as he helped my clients quickly achieve their goals. The unexpected pleasure was Dr. Macy's explanation of the requisites for an optimal hypnotherapy session. If you are looking for a skilled and knowledgeable hypnotherapist, you can do no better than Dr. Macy.”
“I am a retired physician. I have a chronic problem with being unable to sleep. Jim has helped me with hypnotherapy. I tried over-the-counter and prescribed meds - the only treatment that has been effective is hypnotherapy.”
“My family's experience with Dr. Jim Macy was nothing short of miraculous. In under a year, Jim not only got my aunt out of severe depression after a stroke, but she has recently taken her first steps in two years.”
“If you seek a skilled and passionate Hypnotherapist, Jim Macy should be your go-to practitioner. He provides exceptional care through a telephonic approach and welcomes clients with medical referrals.”
“After a tele-session with Dr. Macy, I could not find the prior painful emotions when asked how the situation felt afterward. The work stayed with me in a way an earlier in-person session elsewhere had not.”

How a distance session unfolds
Three clear steps on the call
Discovery, the focused session, then tools for the week between. The photos are Jim and the guild seal - the face that already belongs to this practice.
01
Discovery on the phone
A no-cost 30-minute conversation. Jim listens for the trauma, the recovery goal, or the habit before any program is sold.
02
Focused distance session
You stay in your own chair. Hypnosis, NLP, and EFT tools meet the pattern that still runs your week - not a theatrical stage act.
03
Tools for the week between
Self-hypnosis, recordings, and accountability so the change holds when the hard afternoon returns.
About Dr. Jim Macy
Practicing hypnosis since 1954. Founded this practice in 1998.
Master's in Psychology. Doctoral degree in 1983. EFT trained with Gary Craig. Phone sessions from day one. California in-person office from 1998 to 2013.
Virtually anyone can learn how to hypnotize another person because hypnosis is a natural phenomenon. Providing therapy within the scope of hypnosis takes training and experience. An untrained hypnotherapist can cause irreparable harm. Jim brings multiple post-graduate degrees, including a Master's in Psychology, to that work.
