Meet Alan Barsky, C.M.H., C.Ht.

Mindful Hypnotherapy of Marin

Are You Ready to Feel Calmer and More in Control?

You may understand what you want to change but still find yourself repeating the same habit, emotional reaction, or way of thinking.

Alan Barsky is a Certified Master Hypnotist and Certified Hypnotherapist who has worked with private clients since 1999. Through Mindful Hypnotherapy of Marin, he helps clients reduce stress, change unwanted patterns, strengthen confidence, and move forward with greater clarity.

Your sessions are personalized around your goals and may combine hypnosis, mindfulness, guided imagery, positive suggestion, and practical self-care techniques.

A Mindful Approach to Hypnotherapy

Become More Aware of What Is Driving the Pattern

Alan’s mindful approach can help you notice the thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and automatic responses connected with the concern you want to address.

Rather than depending only on willpower, you may learn to:

• Recognize triggers more quickly
• Respond more calmly to stress
• Change automatic habits and reactions
• Strengthen confidence in your choices
• Practice useful self-hypnosis and self-care skills

The process is collaborative and builds upon your existing capacity for positive change.

Areas of Focus

What Would You Like to Experience Differently?

You may consider working with Alan if you want to:

• Feel calmer and less emotionally overwhelmed
• Strengthen confidence and self-esteem
• Improve sleep-related habits
• Stop smoking
• Change emotional-eating or weight-management habits
• Feel more comfortable speaking or performing
• Address nail biting, hair pulling, skin picking, or another unwanted habit
• Increase motivation and move forward with greater clarity
• Develop self-hypnosis and mindful self-care skills

Hypnosis may also provide complementary support for irritable bowel syndrome when coordinated with appropriate medical care. Individual results vary.

Why Might You Choose Alan Barsky?

You may know what you want to change but still feel pulled back by automatic thoughts, emotions, or habits. Alan Barsky combines hypnosis with mindfulness and self-hypnosis to help you become more aware of these patterns and practice responding differently.

With more than two decades of experience, Alan provides personalized sessions rather than relying solely on standardized scripts. You have time to explain what is happening, clarify what you want to accomplish, and receive hypnosis designed around your particular goals.

How You May Benefit

Working with Alan may help you:

• Recognize thoughts and emotional reactions that keep repeating
• Respond to stress with greater awareness
• Strengthen confidence in yourself and your decisions
• Develop more supportive habits
• Improve motivation and follow-through
• Feel calmer before speaking or performing
• Learn self-hypnosis and mindful self-care skills
• Reinforce your progress between appointments

A Personalized Recording You Can Use Again

Alan records the hypnosis portion of your session and provides it to you for continued listening. This gives you a personalized resource that reflects your goals rather than a general recording created for everyone.

You can replay it at home to reinforce the ideas, imagery, and responses introduced during your appointment. If you value having something practical to use between sessions, this may be an important reason to select Alan.

Smoking-Cessation Support

If you want to stop smoking, Alan can help you examine the situations, emotions, and routines that trigger the urge to smoke. His previous professional exposure to tobacco-industry marketing may also give you an additional perspective on how smoking behaviors and brand loyalties are encouraged.

Your work may help you:

• Identify your strongest smoking triggers
• Separate smoking from stress, meals, driving, or social routines
• Strengthen your personal reasons for quitting
• Mentally rehearse responding differently to familiar situations
• Use your personalized recording for continued reinforcement

Results and the number of sessions vary, so ask what program he recommends for your smoking history and current needs.

Why His Location May Work for You

You can meet with Alan privately in Mill Valley, California, making his practice convenient if you live or work in Marin County or the northern San Francisco Bay Area.

If traveling to Mill Valley is inconvenient, you may also work with him through live Zoom sessions. This allows you to receive personalized support from your own quiet, private space while still receiving a recording for continued use.

Questions to Ask Before Scheduling

• How would you personalize the process for my goal?
• How many sessions should I initially plan for?
• Will I receive a recording after every appointment?
• How often should I listen to my recording?
• What self-hypnosis or mindfulness practice will I use between sessions?
• Would an in-person or Zoom appointment be better for my needs?
• What are the current fees, policies, and scheduling options?
• Would coordination with my physician or licensed therapist be appropriate?

A complimentary telephone consultation allows you to speak directly with Alan, describe what you want to change, and decide whether his mindful, recording-supported approach feels right for you.
