Pediatric Hypnosis

Helping Children Overcome Challenges With Hypnosis

At Achieve Health Center, I understand the unique challenges that children face today, whether it’s anxiety, behavior issues, or struggles with test-taking. As a mother of five, I know firsthand how important it is to guide children through these tough moments in life. That’s why I’ve made pediatric hypnosis a core part of my practice, using a gentle, natural approach to help children find peace, focus, and emotional balance.

What Is Pediatric Hypnosis?

Pediatric hypnosis is a safe and effective method that taps into a child’s natural ability to enter a focused, relaxed state. By using hypnosis, I can help children access their subconscious mind, where they are more open to positive suggestions and change. It’s a collaborative process that allows children to overcome a range of challenges, from anxiety and test-taking stress to behavioral issues and sleep problems.

As children grow and develop, they face many new experiences that can trigger anxiety or negative behaviors. Hypnosis provides a non-invasive, evidence-based solution to address these issues. It’s not about controlling the child’s mind but rather guiding them to unlock their own potential to manage stress, reduce fear, and build resilience.

Why Do Children Need Hypnosis?

Children experience stress, anxiety, and fear just like adults, but they often lack the tools to express or manage these emotions effectively. Hypnosis offers a way to help them feel secure and calm in the face of challenges. Here are some common issues that pediatric hypnosis can help address:

Anxiety: Whether it’s social anxiety, generalized anxiety, or specific fears like the fear of needles or medical procedures, hypnosis helps children develop coping mechanisms and reduce their anxiety levels.

Behavioral Challenges: For children struggling with defiance, anger, or impulsivity, hypnosis can help them better understand their emotions and develop healthier responses.

Test-Taking Stress: Many children experience overwhelming anxiety when it comes to exams or classroom performance. Hypnosis helps them relax, focus, and approach tests with confidence.

Sleep Issues: Hypnosis can assist with common childhood sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep or nightmares, by promoting relaxation and creating positive sleep associations.

How Pediatric Hypnosis Works

At Achieve Health Center, I use a combination of guided imagery, relaxation techniques, and positive reinforcement to create a safe and supportive space for your child. Sessions are designed to be interactive and fun, allowing children to feel engaged and comfortable throughout the process.

For example, a child struggling with anxiety before a test might be guided through visualization exercises where they imagine feeling calm and confident during the exam. They may learn to associate taking a deep breath with feelings of relaxation, which they can call upon in stressful moments. These positive associations help reshape their emotional response to anxiety, giving them control over their experience.

Evidence-Based and Effective

Pediatric hypnosis is backed by years of research and is used in hospitals and clinics across the country, including leading institutions like the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Children’s National. Hypnosis for children is not just a technique; it’s a scientifically supported method that has proven successful in reducing anxiety, improving focus, and even managing pain.

According to studies, children are particularly responsive to hypnosis because they have active imaginations and an ability to enter into a trance-like state naturally. This makes hypnosis an ideal tool to help them create positive mental patterns and reduce negative thoughts or behaviors. The process is gentle and completely tailored to each child’s unique needs, making it a transformative experience for them.

A Personal Approach

As a mother myself, I know how deeply we care about our children’s well-being. My own journey as a parent has taught me the value of finding creative and compassionate solutions to the challenges that children face. I’ve shared stories from my life in my book Tales of My Large, Loud, Spiritual Family, where I discuss my experiences in raising children while embracing holistic methods of healing and growth. At Achieve Health Center, I bring this personal understanding into every session. Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, behavioral challenges, or academic stress, I’m here to provide a compassionate, individualized approach that promotes healing from within.

What Colleagues and Clients Are Saying

"The service and attention I received at Achieve Health Center was unparalleled. I greatly appreciated the professionalism and care that I experienced and would highly recommend the holistic health center to everyone that I know. Thank you to especially to Katherine Agronovich for all the care and support."

“I came in to see Dr. Agranovich because I was diagnosed with diabetes and I was resentful and depressed. After a few sessions, the turning point for me was when Dr. Agranovich asked me, what was the opposite of illness? I realized it was wellness and from that point on, we began focusing on me being well. I enjoy our sessions because Dr. Agranovich provides me with a different ways to think and approach health. And now, as my body is resolving the imbalance, I know it was never about the diabetes, but about me knowing my wellbeing.”

"I began getting night terrors with outbreaks of aggression and sleep walking and I couldn’t find help anywhere. Multiple doctors offered pills, but I didn’t want the side effects. So the problem persisted I began dreading going to sleep every night. I finally did two sessions of hypnosis and Reconnective healing and they transformed everything. Walking out of my second session, I was more relaxed and confident than I had been and for the first time in months I was excited to get some sleep. I was cured of my night terrors, and through hypnosis I discovered that my brain had the ability to overcome this problem itself.”

"I am writing to say thank you for helping me with my performing anxiety. As a vocal performance major at UCI, I am expected to be comfortable singing in front of others whether it is in class, in a voice lesson, or in front of an audience. Without your help through hypnotherapy, I would not be pursuing my major. Thank you for giving me back my dream! I look forward to continuing to work with you to improve my concentration and memory.
