Resolve Hypnosis is a independent clinical hypnotherapy practice in Oklahoma City offering one-on-one sessions for anxiety, smoking cessation, weight loss, and related behavioral issues, positioned as an alternative to traditional talk therapy and psychiatric medication for clients seeking a distinct modality.
Resolve Hypnosis operates as a standalone clinical hypnotherapy office, not a group counseling center or psychiatric clinic. Sessions are structured as personalized, one-hour appointments in which a trained hypnotherapist guides clients into a focused, relaxed state to address specific behavioral patterns and psychological blocks. The practice does not prescribe medication, does not conduct psychological testing, and does not provide crisis intervention or emergency mental health support. It sits outside the licensed therapist or psychiatrist framework and appeals to clients who have tried conventional counseling, prefer to avoid medication side effects, or want to combine hypnotherapy with existing therapy.
Resolve Hypnosis offers sessions at $150 per hour, with most treatment plans requiring three to eight sessions depending on the issue. Initial consultations are typically included in the first session fee; some clients book a separate 30-minute phone consultation at no charge to determine fit before committing.
The practice focuses on four primary areas: smoking cessation (usually 3-5 sessions), weight management and appetite control (typically 4-8 sessions), anxiety and panic (3-6 sessions), and habit breaking such as nail-biting or hair-pulling. Custom session packages or multi-session discounts are sometimes available; calling ahead to inquire about current pricing arrangements is standard.
Oklahoma City residents seeking behavioral change have several pathways. Licensed therapists and counselors (LPCs, LCSWs) through providers like Integrative Counseling and Psychiatric Services handle talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and deeper trauma work; they accept insurance but often have longer wait times and require ongoing weekly sessions. Psychiatrists through OU Health or Community Care prescribe medication for anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Resolve Hypnosis differs by offering a single-issue, time-limited, non-pharmaceutical approach. Choose traditional therapy if you need diagnosis of a mental health disorder, long-term emotional processing, or insurance coverage. Choose hypnotherapy if you have a specific behavioral goal (quit smoking, reduce anxiety symptoms), prefer fewer total sessions, and are willing to pay out-of-pocket. Many clients use both in parallel: therapy for underlying emotional work, hypnotherapy for the specific habit or behavior.
Resolve Hypnosis works best for clients motivated to change a specific, concrete behavior, able to set aside skepticism about hypnosis, and in stable mental health. Ideal candidates include smokers with failed quit attempts, people seeking non-medication anxiety management, and weight-loss clients who recognize emotional eating patterns. The practice does not suit individuals in acute crisis, those with unmedicated psychosis or bipolar disorder, or clients seeking diagnosis and treatment planning for a diagnosable mental health condition. Children and adolescents are typically not served. Clients with severe trauma may need trauma-informed therapy before hypnotherapy is effective.
A first appointment begins with a consultation in which the hypnotherapist reviews your goal, medical and psychological history, current medications, and any previous hypnotherapy experience. The therapist explains what hypnosis is (a state of deep focus and relaxation, not unconsciousness or mind control) and what to expect during induction. The actual hypnotherapy follows: the therapist uses guided imagery, breathing, and suggestion to move you into a relaxed, receptive state, then introduces specific therapeutic suggestions tied to your goal. You remain aware and in control throughout. Sessions end with gradual return to normal alertness and discussion of what you experienced. Most people report feeling calm and focused after. Between-session homework, such as listening to a recorded hypnotherapy track at home, is often assigned.
Resolve Hypnosis is located in central Oklahoma City and operates by appointment only; typical hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with occasional evening and weekend slots available upon request. Parking is available on-site or street-level. Sessions are conducted in person; some practitioners may offer phone or video consultations for initial planning, though in-person hypnotherapy is standard and generally considered more effective. Confirm current hours and telehealth policies by phone before scheduling.
Resolve Hypnosis fills a deliberate niche: clients with a specific, time-limited goal who want to avoid medication and prefer concentrated work outside the traditional therapy framework. It is not a substitute for psychiatric care or crisis support, but for smokers, anxiety-prone individuals, and people trying to change eating habits, it offers a focused alternative worth exploring.
