Our Services
Dedicated to advancing the field of Ericksonian Hypnosis through comprehensive training and exceptional therapeutic services.
Therapy Services
One of our primary goals is to highlight your strengths and to assist you to minimize any deficits. We have a very positive approach to therapy. Milton H. Erickson whose work we teach and learn from was by many accounts practicing the most respectful approach to making change. Some of his work looks magical until you understand how he assisted people to utilize the strengths they already had to overcome their blocked position. We teach ways of diagnosing behaviors to strengthen, and to view the person’s condition as a genuine attempt to fix something that wasn’t working.
Erickson said, that all problems are generated by self- limiting beliefs. That means our position about what ever has been bothering you is that you deserve to have respect and will most easily make change by recognizing things that are right about you so that you can use those strengths to make change happen.
Most all of the therapists who receive training can be referred to by the Institute. They are licensed and successful therapists, and after a while we all know what some of their strengths are and so we can make effective referrals. We work to match you up with a therapist that would be right for you. While most of us have specialties, that is part of the reason referrals are so important. Dr. Lentz specializes in dealing with trauma, marriage and family issues, as well as pain management, and coping with manipulation.
Others associated with the Institute specialize in relationships, as well as working within the bounds of institutions, or treatment centers. We have people who are specialists in spirituality, as well as relationships, and family systems. We also have people who are specialists in dealing with sexuality, and drug dependencies as well as the relational aspects of families with drug dependencies.
Hypnotic Training Program
We offer beginner classes for people with little or no hypnotic background. Some people take this course even though they are somewhat skilled using hypnosis because it gives them more foundational skills that can be utilized in almost every aspect of psychotherapy. Hypnosis is a means to assist a person to become more capable of being who they want to become. Learning strategies that involve self-trance or self-hypnosis makes much of that difference real and tangible.
We also offer training for people who are very advanced in the use of hypnosis. In those groups people refine and tweak their skills, by continuing to learn and grow. They are often leaders in their communities because they continue to learn and grow. We have discovered that having a community to learn with makes the journey easier and multiplies the possibilities.
A third group of practitioners are advanced practitioners who are continuing their journey. These people tend to be very skilled therapists who deal with difficult and complicated situations. They also have discovered that having a place to discuss techniques and approaches with others is a useful tool. To do that around a workshop that employs particular techniques is a useful addition.
