Clinical Hypnosis

The term conjures up movies about mind control or having watched a “stage hypnotist” entertaining an audience by getting a few brave people to act in funny ways. But clinical hypnosis is very different.  It’s a very serious and respected tool used by highly trained psychologists, physicians and other health care professionals in their daily practice to help bring relief to their patients from a wide variety of problems.

Dr. Baker has completed advanced study and earned certification in the field of Clinical Hypnosis. He has also been involved in the governance of professional organizations concerned with training and research in the field of clinical hypnosis for many years.

• Anxiety and stress
• Trauma
• Depression
• Sports and athletic performance

• Concentration difficulties
• Fears and phobias
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Pain disorders

• Sexual dysfunctions
• Sleep disorders
• Smoking cessation
• Obesity and weight control
