Hypnotherapy Services Available to Sarasota Residents

I work with adults on a range of issues — all using structured, private, one-on-one hypnotherapy sessions. These are the areas where I see the most impact:

Quit Smoking — A focused process to break the habit at the subconscious level, not just the surface
Anxiety & Depression — Retrain the automatic response that keeps you stuck in worry, fear, or hopelessness
Weight Loss & Emotional Eating — Address the patterns driving the behavior, not just the behavior itself
PTSD & Trauma — Process difficult experiences in a safe, structured way
Pain Management — Reduce chronic pain by working with the mind-body connection
Fears & Phobias — Driving anxiety, claustrophobia, public speaking, flying, and more
Sleep Issues — Quiet the racing mind so your body can do what it already knows how to do
IBS & Stress-Related Conditions — When the body is responding to stress your mind is holding onto

If you are not sure whether hypnotherapy can help with what you are dealing with, the strategy call is the place to find out.

Why People in Sarasota Choose Hypnotherapy

Most people who come to see me have already tried other things — medication, counseling, willpower, self-help books. Those approaches can help, but sometimes they are not enough on their own.

Hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level, where habits, automatic responses, and deeply held beliefs actually live. That is why it can create lasting change where other approaches have plateaued.

You remain aware, in control, and able to stop at any time. This is not stage hypnosis. It is a calm, focused, conversational process — and most clients say it feels like a deep state of relaxation.

If you have been curious about hypnotherapy but unsure whether it is real or right for you — you are not alone. That is exactly the kind of question the strategy call is designed to answer.

I work with you to retrain the subconscious patterns that are driving the issue — whether that is anxiety, smoking, emotional eating, or something else entirely.

What Clients Are Saying

"When I came to see Tim, I was not sure what to expect. After my first visit, I felt very good about myself. I was thrilled that I talked to him. I had so many happy and positive things running through my head. I am very happy with my decisions I make on a daily basis. Tim is the BEST thing that has happened to me. He has opened my eyes to things that I already knew, but was not accepting."

— Lynn H. (Weight Loss)

"I went to see Tim Ryan to stop smoking. My experience was professional, positive and productive. I am doing well! Do not be leery of hypnosis. It is not scary, you are awake and aware and it works!"

— K.T.F. (Smoking Cessation)

"Shortly after completing 3 sessions with Mr. Ryan, I needed to see the doctor and was pleased that my blood pressure was normal (a very relaxed 110/70). I felt calm, which was the goal I wanted to achieve through hypnosis. Meditation and repeating positive affirmations in the past did not seem to help."

— D.P. (Anxiety)

Frequently Asked Questions — Sarasota Hypnotherapy

Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. You remain aware, in control, and able to stop at any time. Hypnosis is a natural state — you go into it several times a day without realizing it, like when you are absorbed in a book or driving a familiar route on autopilot.

How many sessions will I need?
Most programs are structured around 3–4 sessions, depending on the issue. The strategy call will give you a clear idea of what to expect for your specific situation.

Do I have to drive to Venice for sessions?
No. Online sessions follow the exact same clinical process and are just as effective. Many Sarasota-area clients use online sessions. If you prefer in-person, the office is about 30 minutes south on I-75 or US-41.

Do you accept insurance?
I do not bill insurance directly. However, some clients have had success submitting receipts to their insurance provider for reimbursement. I am happy to provide a superbill if needed.

What if I am skeptical about hypnotherapy?
Most new clients are. That is completely normal. The strategy call is designed to answer your questions and help you decide if this is right for you — no pressure, no commitment.
