About Anew Hypnotherapy

Anew Hypnotherapy offers a innovative approach to weight loss through the power of clinical hypnosis and counseling in Saint Louis. Licensed therapist Dr. Jennifer Thompson specializes in helping clients overcome deep-rooted psychological barriers to weight loss, including emotional eating, food addiction, and self-sabotaging behaviors that traditional diets can't address.

Unlike quick-fix solutions that often lead to yo-yo dieting, our hypnotherapy-based programs target the subconscious mind where lasting change truly begins. We understand that sustainable weight loss requires addressing the mental and emotional aspects of your relationship with food, not just focusing on calories and exercise routines.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive weight loss hypnotherapy program starts with an in-depth psychological assessment to identify your specific triggers and patterns around food and eating. We use clinical hypnosis techniques proven effective for appetite control, portion management, and breaking food addictions. Individual counseling sessions help you develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress, anxiety, and emotional situations that typically lead to overeating. Our specialized group hypnosis sessions create a supportive environment where clients share experiences and maintain motivation together. We also provide guided self-hypnosis recordings for home use, helping you reinforce positive changes between sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques are integrated to help you recognize and change thought patterns that contribute to weight gain. Mindfulness training helps you become more aware of hunger cues and eating habits, leading to more conscious food choices.

What to Expect

Your transformation begins with a comprehensive intake session where we explore your relationship with food, past diet experiences, and psychological factors affecting your weight. During this 90-minute session, we'll also conduct your first hypnosis experience to help you understand how the process works.

Following sessions involve progressive hypnotherapy techniques tailored to your specific needs. We typically recommend weekly sessions for the first 8-12 weeks, with each session building on previous work to create lasting change. You'll receive personalized self-hypnosis recordings to use daily at home. As you progress, sessions may become bi-weekly and focus on maintaining your new relationship with food and body image.

Why Choose Anew Hypnotherapy

Anew Hypnotherapy stands out because we address the root psychological causes of weight gain rather than just treating symptoms. While other programs focus on willpower and restriction, we help you naturally lose the desire to overeat by changing your subconscious programming around food. Dr. Thompson has helped hundreds of clients achieve permanent weight loss through hypnotherapy when other methods failed.

Our approach is gentle, non-judgmental, and scientifically proven effective. We don't use shame or guilt tactics - instead, we help you develop self-compassion while making positive changes. Many clients report that our hypnotherapy sessions are the most relaxing part of their week, making the weight loss process enjoyable rather than stressful.

Insurance & Pricing

Many insurance plans now cover hypnotherapy and counseling services for weight management, especially when medically necessary. We're in-network with several major providers and will verify your benefits during scheduling. Initial consultations are $175, with follow-up hypnotherapy sessions at $125 each. Group sessions are available for $75 per session. We offer sliding scale fees for qualified individuals and payment plans to make our services accessible. Self-pay packages provide significant discounts for multiple sessions booked in advance.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first session with an open mind and realistic expectations - hypnosis isn't magic, but it's a powerful tool for change when you're ready to commit. Avoid caffeine for several hours before sessions as it can interfere with the relaxation process. Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to discuss your eating habits honestly.

Success with hypnotherapy requires active participation and practice at home. Plan to listen to your personalized recordings daily and be patient with the process - lasting change takes time. Some clients notice immediate shifts in their appetite or cravings, while others see gradual changes over several weeks. Trust the process and maintain regular attendance for best results.
