What is Depth Hypnosis?

Depth Hypnosis is a powerful and effective form of somatic, spiritual counseling that can help people struggling with a wide variety of challenges. This work is especially helpful for seasons of life where we feel stuck, hopeless, or out of balance. Depth Hypnosis can be helpful with the following:

  • Anxiety, depression, addiction, disordered eating, codependency, debilitating fears, and phobias

  • Changing habits and breaking cycles

  • Strong, inner critical voice, critical parents, low self-esteem, ending toxic or abusive relationships, recovering from a breakup

  • Chronic or mysterious illness or pain

  • Getting a better understanding of dreams

  • Unresolved trauma or PTSD

  • General growth and renewed connection to one’s inner guidance.

Depth Hypnosis was developed by Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D., founder of The Foundation of the Sacred Stream in Berkley, CA. It combines transpersonal psychology with elements of Applied Shamanism, Buddhist psychology, energy medicine, hypnotherapy, and other modalities. It's based on the understanding that the root cause of many physical, psychological and emotional issues is often buried deep within the subconscious mind, and that by accessing this deeper level of awareness, we can gain profound insights and make meaningful changes in our lives.

“In Depth Hypnosis, because of the creative use of an altered state, there is the beautiful opportunity for us to be able to let go of ourselves and experience that sense of freedom and spaciousness, within which we can then begin to reconnect parts of ourselves that are somehow misaligned.”

– Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D.

Reviews

  • "Leslie has a natural gift and beautiful ability to hold space and guide you through a deep and potent journey. Months after my last session with her I am still receiving the gifts and having deeper understandings and knowings. I absolutely love working with her and the style of shamanic journeying she offers is so beautifully simple, yet profound. It is a very special thing she is offering.” -AJ

  • "I have absolutely loved working with Leslie. She has offered me such a safe space to work through some tough issues. I’ve learned so much about the core of the issue and feel the internal shifts happening. Each of the practices she uses to address what I’m working on are highly intuitive and I feel so much gratitude at the end of our sessions together." -GY

  • "I highly recommend this beautiful process for healing!" -AW

  • "Leslie’s professional direction and reassuring personality create an impressive, perfectly balanced healing space. I am allowed the autonomy to flow through the healing experience in the ways that my mind and body need and want, but she also knows when and how to challenge and push in gentle yet assertive ways. I never know what might come up in each session, but I pretty much always leave with much to reflect on, having had profound healing experiences." -NH

  • “I had never had any type of Depth Hypnosis before seeing Leslie. She made me feel very comfortable and led me through each session with confidence and support. I had some really cool breakthroughs, and never left without feeling a sense of peace and healing. There were things that showed up in our sessions that I had never thought of or discovered before. I highly recommend Leslie for this type of healing, and I can’t wait to continue my journey with her.” -KM

Let’s Work Together

This process starts with a free 20 minute consultation, where you will learn more about working together, share your goals, and ask questions.

Depth Hypnosis sessions typically last 60-90 minutes and are held in-person or via Zoom. Depth Hypnosis is an experiential process and each session can look quite different. Clients are actively involved in the process of discovery and transformation. This process is very different from traditional talk therapy and we suggest that clients begin with three sessions to assess whether this modality is a good fit for them. Read this article for what to expect for the first session.
