Depth Hypnosis is a Safe, compassionate path to inner wisdom

What is Depth Hypnosis?

Depth Hypnosis in New York

Depth Hypnosis is a gentle, guided approach that blends elements of hypnotherapy, Buddhist philosophy, shamanism, and transpersonal psychology.

The goal is to create a space for your own wisdom to emerge.

Using techniques like guided meditation, inner inquiry, and trance-like states, Depth Hypnosis helps you feel connected to your truest self, and explore any issues you’re facing which are often blocked by fear, judgment, or trauma.

Clients remain fully alert, aware, and participate throughout the process (so you won’t forget any of your breakthroughs!)

How Depth Hypnosis and Shamanic Counseling Support Healing

Depth Hypnosis and Shamanic Counseling are especially helpful for those who:

  • Feel stuck in emotional patterns that aren’t shifting through talk therapy alone
  • Experience anxiety, self-doubt, or deep spiritual disconnection
  • Have a history of trauma and want a non-verbal, body-based path to healing
  • Are open to exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness in a safe setting
  • Want to integrate psychological healing with spiritual growth

Depth Hypnosis and Shamanic Counseling can serve as a standalone process or an addition to other therapies.

Many people find them especially powerful for accessing core wounds, breaking cycles of self-judgment, and exploring questions about identity, purpose, and connection.

Your Questions matter to us

Depth Hypnosis & Shamanic Counseling FAQ

Will I be in a trance or hypnotized?

While Depth Hypnosis and Shamanic Counseling use light trance states, you remain fully alert, aware, and in control.

It’s more like a deep meditative state than traditional hypnosis.

Is this therapy?

While Depth Hypnosis and Shamanic Counseling incorporate psychological tools, they’re generally considered complementary healing modalities.

They may be used alongside traditional therapy or on their own, depending on your needs. However, Matthew Word, our trained therapist, will guide you through these practices and support you throughout your experience.

Do I need to be spiritual for this to work?

Not at all.

The process is more about self-discovery and connection to your own inner truth—whatever that means for you. It’s accessible to both the spiritually curious and the deeply skeptical.

Is this a good fit for trauma?

Yes—with the right support.

Depth Hypnosis and Shamanic Counseling offers an alternative path for trauma recovery, especially when clients are looking for something beyond talk therapy. However, we suggest these only be carried out with a trained and trusted mental health professional. We always assess safety first and adapt sessions accordingly.
