While smoke cessation, weight control and stress management have always been the mainstay of her Hypnotherapy practice, Terry Biener has a special place in her heart for helping people with phobias and panic attacks. Having had the burden of these devastating conditions herself (which were alleviated through hypnosis), her empathy and understanding runs deep. Of the various techniques she has used over the years, she finds NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) to be most successful with fears and anxiety.

Ms. Biener has been helping people with hypnosis since 1992. Her private practice is based on one-to-one sessions, and she works with both children and adults. Her numerous certifications were earned though the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the National Guild of Hypnotists.

How many sessions needed depends on both the individual and the problem. Since most habits or conditions exist from years of negative re-enforcement, one should expect at least a few sessions for long-lasting effect. One-on-one hypnosis, as opposed to group hypnosis, is very different in that sessions can be tailored exactly to the person's issues, triggers and personality. Motivation and the desire to make the change are important ingredients. At the same time, trust and a good rapport with the Hypnotherapist should definitely be there. Ms. Biener believes that people should understand hypnosis and be comfortable with it before trying it.

According to Ms. Biener, Hypnotherapy can be effective with just about anything caused by, or blocked by, the subconscious mind. She been able to help people improve in sports, concentration, study habits, and get past addictions, obsessions and all types of habits. She has helped people through a grieving process, or post-traumatic stress syndrome. As a former early childhood teacher, she is comfortable helping children heal self-worth and confidence that’s been damaged through ADD or ADHD.
