Jeff Ballard
Introduction
I am Jeff Ballard, the owner of Hoover Hypnosis with a physical office in Hoover, Alabama serving the greater Birmingham, Alabama area with in-office hypnosis sessions, and online hypnosis sessions available via video conferencing.
I am a certified hypnotist via training by accredited hypnosis academies and I hold a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology. I practice an eclectic mix of traditional (direct) and Ericksonian (conversational) hypnosis techniques.
Various methods may be utilized including progressive relaxation, visual imagery, creative visualization, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and stress reduction processes. I strive to utilize techniques based in neuroscience, while leaving space and recognition of things that seem to be more akin to magic.
Beyond hypnosis certifications, I am a Certificated Practitioner of Steven Blake's OldPain2Go® Methodology and an Advanced Practitioner of Andrew Austin's Integral Eye Movement Techniques (IEMT). IEMT offers some unique processes in working with stressful experiences.
I must also mention that those processes, as well as many hypnosis techniques, can be used in a "content free" manner where intimate details of an event need not be explored for effective results.
Now, this description includes a lot of “hypno-speak”. What is important is how can hypnosis help you?
Next Step
If you have a need or an issue that you think hypnosis could provide you with a desirable outcome, schedule a free consultation with me and let’s discuss it! We can build an action plan custom designed around your goals.
Office hours are typically Monday - Friday, 9 A.M. - 5 P.M., but arrangements can be made for sessions outside of these hours.
I'd like to discuss what you are seeking to achieve with a free consultation. Best way to choose a good time for you and sync up with my calendar is to go to my scheduling app:
and choose a free phone consultation (Zoom and in-office consultations are also available, email admin@thriveaftertrauma.com).
Again, this is a free appointment to give us a chance to meet and talk about a session in general and discuss some ideas about how we might get you on a path to a brighter future.
Looking forward to speaking with you!
