The History Behind the Expertise
Credentials and timeline
Consulting Hypnotist. Master NLP Practitioner. Certified Life Coach. Master's in Psychology. Doctoral degree in 1983 from an accredited college of hypnosis. EFT trained with Gary Craig. Life Coach Institute of Florida with Dr. Helmstetter.
Member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, the American Hypnosis Association, the International Hypnosis Association, and the American Psychological Association. Medical referrals are accepted. Jim consults with psychiatrists and psychologists on difficult cases.
Phone sessions from day one in 1998. California in-person office from 1998 to 2013. Distance sessions remain the primary format.
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.

What clients and peers say
“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.”
