Meet Michael Burney

Biography: Michael Burney is the director of Columbia Hypnosis, where he offers personalized hypnosis sessions for clients seeking to change unwanted habits, strengthen performance, manage stress, and pursue healthier patterns.
Michael has worked with hypnosis clients for more than 16 years. His approach begins with learning about each client’s circumstances, desired outcome, and motivation for change. He then develops a personalized strategy intended to help the client work more effectively with thoughts, habits, emotions, and subconscious associations.
Sessions are private, confidential, and available by appointment. When a concern involves medical care, mental health treatment, trauma, or persistent pain, Michael may collaborate with or require a referral from an appropriately licensed healthcare professional.
