Children and adolescents, much like adults, can experience a variety of challenges from academic pressures to social anxieties. Being that they have significantly less life experience, this often means they catastrophize negative events, lack the emotional and mental tools to effectively work through problems and generally lose motivation and hope when presented with daunting obstacles. As adults, we are much more cognizant of the notion that time heals most superficial wounds, but children and adolescents often feel defeated and overwhelmed. These feelings only heighten their fears, strengthens their pre- existing anxieties and exacerbates their dwindling levels of self-esteem.
The Solution
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for minors to address various issues, helping them gain self-confidence, cope with stress, and overcome specific challenges related to their developmental stage. Children possess a rich and vivid imagination, which often makes them receptive to hypnotherapy. The technique for minors involves guiding them into a relaxed state, where they can utilize their imagination to address specific concerns or change certain behaviors. In this state, the therapist can introduce positive suggestions and coping mechanisms, making it easier for the child or adolescent to adopt them in their daily life. After undergoing hypnotherapy, many minors report a significant reduction in the intensity of their issues, whether it be anxiety, fear, bedwetting, or even challenges like ADHD. It often leads to improved self-esteem, better academic performance, and healthier social interactions.
The Science
A 2007 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis found positive results when implementing hypnotherapy practices in children with various issues, including anxiety and phobias. Reports reflected reduced symptoms and improved functioning.

Sign me up right!? Rochelle (a JoyMind founder) is a true healer and has a gift for helping heal past trauma in a completely non-judgmental, non-biased way & she will tell you amazing medicine stories of her own while she does it.”
“I suffer from anxiety among other issues, and Rochelle (a JoyMind founder) was able to help me identify my triggers and learn new ways to think about them and to cope. She is an amazing listener, has a wealth of experience from various fields of mental and spiritual health, and has challenged me since day 1 to approach my life differently.”
“Through my sessions, I gained so much understanding into connecting with my inner self. I connected with the concept of “self love”, something I struggled with my whole life. I’m so grateful for the experience and I received such an incredible amount of emotional support through a very difficult period of time in my life..”
Rochelle (a JoyMind founder) is amazing! When I was going through a very tough time in my life she was the light. I was going through a bad break up and she helped me so much not only through hypnosis but by just speaking with her she gave me so much hope. The hypnosis is great I truly feel like it helped me feel more secure with myself and my relationship and we are now back together and very very happy!

After earning her BA in Psychology from Portland State University with a focus on Human Development and Parapsychology, Kristen went on to study at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute College of Hypnotherapy.
There, she achieved honors as a Certified Hypnotherapist and became a member of the American Hypnosis Association. She also works as an instructor of Guided Imagery Meditation at Unplug Meditation. Kristen’s expertise in Early Childhood Development and certifications in Child and Advanced Child Hypnotherapy have enabled her to work with clients of all ages, while educating parents on how to foster positive behavior through better communication.
Additionally, her interest in psychosomatic conditions has led her to receive special certifications in stress reduction and pain management; she is also an avid user of NLP, the Eriksonian school of thought, and guided imagery. Believing that anything can be achieved with the power of belief is what drives her. HMI has hired Kristen both during schooling and after graduation; there she helps educate new students as well as presents news about upcoming events for the college or hosts seminars for the American Hypnosis Association.

After being exposed to Hypnotherapy while prepping for grad school in Psychology, I decided to try it out. Astonishingly, the therapy was both simple and remarkably effective. This solidified my resolve that if I wanted to make a real impact in people’s lives, this was the way to go. Now, I am a Hypnotherapist and proudly refer to myself as “a professional belief system enhancer”. It’s something I find incredibly rewarding!

Through her extensive study of the brain and diverse experience in the field of mental health, she found her passion of working with both the conscious and subconscious mind to facilitate transformative change through hypnotherapy.

Taking care of our mental health and well-being is akin to taking care of our physical health. The more time, energy, and consistency we show, the greater results we will inevitably achieve, and the better we will feel. In my practice, I prioritize providing clients with practical tools and techniques embedded within our sessions which they can then use outside of therapy in their everyday lives.
Through writing assignments, breathing exercises, self-hypnosis, and other tasks assigned in between sessions, clients are able to strengthen the formation of new neural pathways and reinforce their results. Providing tools empowers my clients to actively participate in their healing journey, and enables them to navigate challenges independently.
My approach involves a thorough assessment of how my client’s upbringing and environmental factors play an active role in their behaviors, emotions, and patterns. With this new found awareness, they are then able to explore these elements through guided hypnosis. Therapy can never rely on a one size fits all approach. This is why I customize every session, build upon previous interactions, and tailor techniques to my clients’ individual needs and preferences.

Working with me means non-judgement and connecting with your inner wisdom. Non-judgement is important in creating a safe place when using hypnotherapy because it allows the client to feel comfortable and relaxed. When people feel judged, they are more likely to be defensive and closed off. This can make it difficult for them to be hypnotized and to benefit from the therapy.
Hypnotherapy is a state of heightened suggestibility. This means that you will be more open to suggestion and more likely to accept new ideas and beliefs.
In addition, non-judgement creates a sense of safety and security. This is important because hypnotherapy can sometimes be a challenging experience because we dive into the depths, the very root of your suffering. You may be asked to confront difficult memories or emotions.
For all of these reasons, non-judgement is an essential part of creating a safe place for hypnotherapy. When you feel comfortable and relaxed, you are more likely to be open to the suggestions that are offered and to benefit from the therapy.
Here are some of the protocols I follow to create a non-judgemental environment:
