Hypnosis for Kids and Teens: Help for Anxiety, Fears & Sleep Struggles
Is your child anxious, afraid, or struggling with sleep? Pediatric hypnosis is a gentle, research-backed solution trusted by parents, pediatricians, and kids themselves.
Fast, Compassionate Anxiety Relief for Children—With Proven Results
If fear of the dark, separation anxiety, worries about school, or phobias are taking over your child’s life, hypnosis can help get to the root—not just manage the symptoms.
“My daughter had developed such intense anxiety about shots, that our Pediatrician literally told us that we needed to address it before her next appointment because it was too traumatizing for my daughter. Our Pediatrician recommended Stephanie immediately. When I reached out to Stephanie and explained the situation, she made me feel so at ease and confident that she could help my daughter. To be honest, I truly didn’t have much hope because our last vaccine appointment was so awful.
After the SECOND meeting with Stephanie, my daughter said, “Mom, I’m ready, but I want to have one more session with her just to make sure.” I obliged. Well, the flu vaccine appointment was yesterday, and I have no words to explain what I saw. My daughter went from screaming, flailing, and requiring medical staff to restrain her to get a shot, to this calm, confident, poised young woman who was not phased in the least. I still can’t believe it. I am in awe. Not to sound corny…but this was miracle level stuff.” -Nina, CT-
Why Hypnosis for Child Anxiety and Phobias?
Having raised my own two “grown and flown” kids, I know firsthand how parenting brings out both our fiercest protectiveness and our deepest worries. I’ve been in your shoes—the sleepless nights, the searching for answers, the hope that your child will finally feel calm and confident. That’s why I’m so passionate about providing solutions that actually help, not just for other families, but because I’ve needed them myself.

Real Stories: Confidence Through Hypnosis
Sarah was paralyzed by fear of flying—until hypnosis changed everything. After working together, she not only boarded her family’s flight, but years later, she’s now traveled to all seven continents (including solo skydiving adventures)! The tools she learned have helped her stay calm through challenges big and small—even a pandemic far from home.

Hypnosis isn't just for anxiety or phobias
Hypnosis isn’t just for anxiety or phobias—it also helps kids boost confidence and focus in activities like sports.

Pediatric Hypnosis is an effective way to engage a child’s internal resources to build confidence by using their own imagination and thoughts to master various skills.
