Subconscious healing for lasting change
Hypnotherapy works with the part of your mind that logic alone can't reach. When talk therapy isn't going far enough or fast enough — subconscious work is often what breaks the pattern. I'm Rima Danielle, MFT, certified hypnotherapist with 17+ years of clinical experience.
What Is Hypnotherapy?
Not mind control.
Access to your own mind.
Hypnosis isn't about losing control — it's about accessing the part of you that already knows how to heal. We naturally slip into trance-like states every day — like when you're driving and suddenly realize you don't remember the last few miles. That relaxed, focused state is what we call a trance. In hypnotherapy, we guide you there intentionally.
During a session, I help you quiet the noise of the conscious mind so we can work directly with the subconscious — where beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns are stored. This is where real change happens.
You'll remain aware and in full control throughout the entire process — relaxed enough to allow new insight and healing to emerge, alert enough to engage with it.
"Hypnotherapy is powerful because it works with the part of your mind that traditional therapy can't always reach — at the source, where beliefs, habits, and core wounds are stored."
What Hypnotherapy Helps With
Anxiety, self-doubt, trauma, habits — and the patterns underneath them
Hypnotherapy is particularly effective for issues that have persisted despite years of talk therapy — because it works at the level where those patterns actually live.
Anxiety & Overthinking
Instead of just managing anxious thoughts, we address where they originate — rewiring the subconscious loops that keep your nervous system in overdrive.
Self-Doubt & Inner Critic
The inner critic isn't you — it's a protective part running an old program. Hypnotherapy helps you update that program and install something kinder and more accurate.
Trauma & Emotional Blocks
Trauma lives in the subconscious body. Hypnotherapy reaches where talk therapy can't — safely releasing what's been stored and rebuilding your sense of safety.
Sleep & Nervous System
Chronic sleeplessness, racing thoughts at night, and inability to fully rest — addressed at the nervous system level, not just with sleep hygiene tips.
Habits & Self-Sabotage
Whether it's procrastination, emotional eating, or patterns that undermine your own success — subconscious work changes the automatic response, not just the intention.
Confidence & Identity
Build a self-concept that reflects who you actually are — not the version assembled by fear, old wounds, and other people's expectations.
Chronic Pain & Physical Symptoms
The mind-body connection is real and well-researched. Hypnotherapy is an evidence-supported approach for conditions with significant psychological components.
Personal Growth
You don't need a diagnosis. Hypnotherapy is equally powerful for people who simply want to accelerate growth, access intuition, and live with greater intention.
Phobias & Fears
Flying, public speaking, needles, intimacy — phobias are stored as subconscious threat responses. Hypnotherapy can retrain that response more effectively than avoidance.
What to Expect
Virtual hypnotherapy — designed around you
We begin with your story
Before any trance work, we spend time understanding your goals, your history, and what you're ready to shift. The session is built around you specifically.
Guided induction into relaxed focus
Using my voice, breath pacing, and language patterns, I guide you into a deeply relaxed state — aware, present, and open. Many clients describe it as the most rested they've felt in years.
Subconscious work — tailored to your session goals
This is where the real work happens. We use therapeutic suggestion, imagery, parts work, and inner child approaches — customized to your specific patterns and goals.
Re-orientation and integration
We close gently, bringing you back grounded and clear. We discuss what came up and how to integrate the shifts in your daily life.
🎧 Every session is custom-recorded and sent to you. The more you listen, the deeper the integration. Many clients find their recording becomes one of their most-used tools long after sessions end.
"This work is gentle but potent. Your subconscious already knows how to heal — we just clear the path."— Rima Danielle Jomaa, MFT

Common Questions
Everything you want to know about hypnotherapy
What is hypnotherapy and how does it work?
Hypnotherapy uses a guided state of focused relaxation to access the subconscious mind — where beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns are stored. Unlike talk therapy which works primarily with the conscious mind, hypnotherapy works at the source. You remain aware and in full control throughout.
Will I lose control or be made to do things I don't want to?
No — this is the biggest misconception about hypnotherapy. You are never unconscious, never "under" anyone's control, and you can speak, move, or end the session at any time. Hypnosis simply guides your mind into a deeply relaxed, receptive state — you remain the one in charge throughout.
Does virtual hypnotherapy actually work?
Absolutely — and many clients find online hypnotherapy even more comfortable than in-person. You're in your own space, fully relaxed, and already familiar with my voice by the time we begin. Sessions are guided through audio and verbal cues only. Every session is custom-recorded and sent to you afterward.
How is hypnotherapy different from therapy?
Talk therapy primarily works with the conscious mind — helping you understand and reframe patterns. Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious — where those patterns are actually stored and run automatically. The two approaches are highly complementary, and Rima often integrates both in the same session when appropriate.
Do I get to keep my hypnotherapy recording?
Yes. Every session is custom-recorded and sent to you after the appointment. The more you revisit it, the deeper the integration becomes. Many clients find their recording becomes one of their most-used tools long after sessions end.
Does insurance cover hypnotherapy?
Many plans do. Rima accepts Aetna, AllSavers UHC, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Oscar, Oxford, UMR, UnitedHealthcare, and others. The best way to confirm is to contact Rima directly — she can help you navigate coverage before your first session.
