In their own words

When I was 12, I lost my brother to a motorcycle accident. I have been in talk therapy for 30 years with very little movement. It only took one hypnotherapy session with Janice to finally move the grief in a deeply impactful way. We are continuing to work through the widespread impacts of my loss, but I finally feel free from the PTSD, after 30 years. Thank you, Janice!

I cannot recommend Janice highly enough. For as long as I can remember, I struggled with severe claustrophobia that stemmed from a traumatic experience when I was two years old after being accidentally locked inside a toy box. That fear stayed with me throughout my life and affected situations that most people take for granted.

After just one hypnotherapy session with Janice, something remarkable happened. The fear that had controlled me for decades was simply gone. I was honestly amazed at how peaceful and calm I felt afterward. Situations that would have immediately triggered anxiety no longer had that overwhelming emotional response.

Janice created a safe, compassionate, and professional environment, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the process. Her skill and ability to help uncover and resolve the root cause of my lifelong fear were truly life-changing.

I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone struggling with fears, phobias, or anxiety. My experience has been nothing short of life-changing, and I only wish I had found her years sooner.

I mostly came for a session with Janice out of curiosity on what kind of benefits I could get with hypnosis, working through traumatic experiences as a supplemental therapy to my current therapy process.

Janice was very welcoming, and I feel like she wanted to help me with my self-care/therapeutic journey. I felt safe, understood and well supported in each of our sessions.

This was my first time using hypnosis and I found it to be very powerful and effective. It has made an impact on how the world feels to me. I felt a shift with each session that involved hypnosis. I feel the hypnotherapy work I did with Janice has impacted me by removing a heavy, negative emotional load from my life. I feel a lightness, like something has been purged from my mental/emotional state of being.

For those parts of my life, I’m experiencing less anxiety, confusion and anger. I’m less encumbered by past traumas.

I never expected that I could feel like this.

Oh boy, where to start? First, let’s just say Janice is a miracle worker. I had been struggling with OCD (driven by fears of contamination) for 7-8 years, and met Janice serendipitously at my favorite coffeeshop because I kept walking by her to go to the restroom to wash my hands, a very familiar routine for me, having OCD. I found out she was a hypnotherapist (among many other things), and she said she could help.

Fast forward to many months later I reached out, ready to do the work. OVER NIGHT my life changed. We first cleared my severe cedar allergy, then my cat allergy, then my fish allergy, and we are still continuing to work miracles. Each and every time I have to pinch myself, it’s as if I’ve woken up in a completely different reality. My world gets bigger every time I meet with her. After being plagued with chronic health issues and allergies for a long time (some being 20 years), it’s honestly scary and disorienting just how much bigger my world gets. I lost half of my life to chronic illness, and Janice is helping me roll back the hands of time. She has delivered transformation I’ve only dreamt of, and to be honest, probably stopped dreaming of 10 years ago — she has given me back the keys to my life. If you are daring and willing to change your life massively, then Janice is who you are looking for.

Finding a therapist who is both deeply skilled and remarkably resourceful is a rare gift, and I am truly grateful to have found that in Janice. What sets her apart is her ability to weave together a variety of therapeutic approaches — whether it’s traditional talk therapy, hypnotherapy, visualization techniques, or even working with Jungian archetypes. Each session feels fresh and engaging, never falling into a repetitive rhythm, but instead adapting to what will be most helpful in the moment.

Janice possesses an extraordinary capacity to meet you where you are, drawing from her extensive toolkit to tailor each experience. Her creativity and flexibility ensure that therapy is never a one-size-fits-all process. I have always felt supported and understood, never judged or criticized. Rather than allowing me to get lost in the minutiae, Janice gently and thoughtfully guides me back to broader themes — helping me refocus on my own growth and overall self-progression. Her continual focus on universal connection and compassion helps reframe negative thoughts and slowly plants one’s perspective in positivity without dismissing the legitimacy of the root issues in the slightest.

For anyone seeking a therapist who is compassionate, non-critical, and expertly resourceful, I cannot recommend Janice highly enough. Her sessions are a testament to her dedication and her unique ability to foster meaningful, transformative change.

Working with Janice Shayne has been a game-changer. Blending the modalities of psychology, hypnosis… and mentoring, she has customized our conversations to focus on my most current goals and challenges. What I value most is the combination of support she provides, and the depth of her knowledge in each of the areas we work in. I’ve learned a great deal about how healing past experiences, no matter how difficult, can have beautiful impacts in the present and future. Janice assists and guides the process with grace and professionalism. She is a gem.
