Hypnosis for Children and Teenagers
Gentle, effective support for growing minds and hearts. As children grow into adolescence, they face pressures that can feel overwhelming—academics, emotions, relationships, technology, and sometimes trauma.
And for many families, talk therapy alone isn’t always enough.
That’s where hypnotherapy comes in. Hypnotherapy is a safe, faith-respecting, and deeply calming tool that helps children and teens gently access the subconscious mind—where fears, habits, and emotional patterns are stored—and begin to shift them. Through focused relaxation and personalized guidance, they learn how to feel more in control, confident, and calm.
I work with children ages 10 and up through online sessions, and in certain cases I offer house-calls for local families who prefer in-person support. If your child is struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, behavioral patterns, or life transitions—and you’re looking for something nurturing, non-invasive, and effective—hypnotherapy may be the right fit.
Healing doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it begins with a single deep breath—and someone who knows how to guide it.
What Hypnosis Can Help With
Hypnotherapy for kids and teens is especially helpful when emotional struggles, habits, or stress start affecting daily life. Whether your child is highly sensitive, recovering from a difficult experience, or simply navigating the ups and downs of growing up—hypnosis can offer real relief and tools that last.
FAQs For Parents
Will my child know what's happening during hypnosis? Yes. Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state—not sleep or unconsciousness. Your child will be aware, able to speak, and in control the entire time. What if my child doesn’t want to do it? Great question—and we never force the process. Hypnotherapy works best when the child or teen is open to it. In the consult, I can gently explain the process and answer their questions to help build comfort and trust. Is it safe for kids and teens? Absolutely. I only use age-appropriate, trauma-informed techniques. Sessions are gentle, guided, and designed to support—not overwhelm—the nervous system. Do I need to be in the room during the session? That depends on your child’s age and comfort level. For younger clients, I often include a parent at the start or end. For teens, I usually work one-on-one after the intake to give them space, unless support is needed. How many sessions does it take? It varies by child and the challenge we’re working with. Some issues may shift within a few sessions, while others (like deep anxiety or grief) may need more layered support. I’ll always give you a clear sense of what to expect after our initial consultation. Can you work with my child’s therapist or doctor? Yes, absolutely. If your child is already under the care of a mental health or medical provider, I’m happy to collaborate—with your permission—to create a supportive team approach.
“My daughter was completely shut down after a tough year—she wouldn’t speak in class, and even simple conversations gave her anxiety.
After just a few sessions with Susana, we noticed a shift.
She’s not only participating in school again, but she’s starting to enjoy being around people.
It feels like we have our daughter back.”
— Parent of a 15-year-old client
“I was skeptical at first, but we had tried everything for my son’s picky eating. Susana approached it with so much creativity and care—after two sessions, he was already more open. Now, mealtimes are peaceful again, and he’s even trying new foods without pressure.
I’m amazed.”
— Mom of a 10-year-old client
“My son went through something traumatic that left him angry, withdrawn, and having nightmares. We didn’t want to put him on medication, so we tried hypnotherapy.
Susana created such a safe space—he finally opened up. The nightmares have stopped, and he’s sleeping through the night.
This has been life-changing for our whole family.”
— Parent of a 13-year-old client
