I had my first hypnotherapy session in NYC back in 2018. Went back to school shortly after and surprisingly had the easiest time of my life. I've always hated school, and had trouble with procrastination and focus. I was able to get … More straight A's again for the first time in my life since freshman year in high school. I was also taking all senior level classes. I figured it might have been the hypnosis I did in NYC.
Fast forward to May of 2020, after the pandemic hit, and I started getting depressed... relationship issues, stress, anxiety, and lack of motivation.
I decided to see Sean, and in hindsight, it was probably one of the best decisions of my life.
Not only is Sean a good hypnotist, therapist, listener, healer- he's someone who has struggled like the rest of us. You can tell he has a genuine desire to help you and does the best he can.
He also helped cure my shy bladder syndrome. Thanks Sean!

Money - Well - Spent. Some things are just worth it. I wanted to try this for years and I’m glad that I finally did.
If someone can help you, especially if you feel like nobody else can help you… what do you have to lose?
I wish I was … More in the position to help people meet with Sean personally. And if I can’t, at least I can leave this positive review for him because he has helped me and my family so much. Thanks Sean!

I met Sean about 4 months ago. Within this time, I have saved my marriage, cured a phobia and now in-training with Sean to become a hypnotherapist... and I am the happiest I have ever been! Can't forget the best part.
It is so inspiring … More to experience the magic of hypnosis. Sean is an amazing hypnotherapist with such a passion for helping people. His teaching style made it fun. Lots of breaks, hypnosis and laughs! The amount of information that was shared exceeded my expectations.
I have begun working with friends and family and I am so happy to report that I have already received such great reports back. It is working!
Great teaching is paying off!
This morning I walked in from the garage.
There was a spider just free hanging upside down.
I saw it as I walked through the doorway. I even said
“AH! Crazy 🤬 spider!” But just kept walking…
It took me coming into the kitchen for my husband to stop me and say…
😮 “you aren’t freaking out!” 😮
Dude!!
30 years of freaking out. Gone now!
My initial shock had me sitting in confusion. For most the day!
I don’t know what witchery we have learned ha ha but this is everything!!!

Bottom line - Incredible. Life changing. Do it.
I was recommended Sean by a friend of mine, who was working on themselves with Sean's assistance. I think he greatly undersold Sean to me, he's a life-altering force of good. … More I feel better, I'm more positive, and I've taken great positive strides in all aspects of my life, and this was all after one session. Things have only gotten better with each subsequent session.
Do yourself a favor, and get in touch with him. He's the real deal, and he'll change your life for the better, you'll be wishing you'd contacted him sooner.

I chose to work with Sean as a sort of “last ditch effort” to address my debilitating panic and phobias and I’m SO glad that I did. It’s only been two weeks and I’m already beginning to see big shifts in my thought patterns and a desensitization … More to my triggers and symptoms. I’ve worked with many professionals over the years who listened to and validated my struggles, but none of them gave me ACTUAL strategies to overcome my negative thought loops until I met Sean. He’s professional, attentive, and sincere. Make an appointment! Your brain will thank you. :)

I first went to Sean after my husband died suddenly 5 years ago and I would breakdown and sob every time I heard an ambulance. He was able to transform that sound into beautiful memories I focus on instead. I recently contacted him again … More with another difficult issue and he has helped me look at the situation in a whole new light that has helped me greatly. It is obvious he cares about his patients and is very knowledgable in this field. I highly recommend him.

We want to thank Sean for all of the work he did with our son on anxiety, self-confidence and motivation concerns. After the first session, we could see major improvement. The main thing that our son mentioned was that Sean really understands … More teen challenges and is very relatable. We recommend Sean to anyone that has a teen wanting to overcome challenges and be the best version of themselves.

If you are looking to see if Sean is worth your time, then stop at this review. He is absolutely worth it. The biggest enemy that is preventing you from growth is YOU. We don't even realize that, but Sean gave me a new perspective … More and showed me the tools to not let me stop trying things and better myself. His sessions are invaluable and will last even when you stop seeing him. Within three sessions, there was a difference in my attitude, my focus, and my self-worth. I hesitated to see him years ago, and I am happy I didn't make that mistake again. Please do not be OLD me and get Sean to help you to the next level.

Sean is wonderful! It is obvious he genuinely cares and he is down to earth. He helped me quit smoking (after 25+ years), manage my anxiety, manage my phobias, be assertive, make healthier choices, better understand perspective and how … More to utilize my new skills. He helped me when traditional therapy and medication did not. He has truly changed my life for the better!

Sean is an amazing therapist. I made more progress with him than I have in 3 previous therapists that I saw for MUCH longer. I've tackled my original point in reaching out but I will continue to see Sean periodically as I highly value … More what I get out of it regardless whether it's issue specific. If you're struggling with something specific though & want to overcome it, he's your guy. I was originally cost deterred from going forward and wasted time in traditional therapy only to circle back a year later and make the choice to invest in myself. You pay for what you get people! The results & clarity are worth every dollar & minute I've spent in his office. I've referred personal friends to Sean & will continue to do so as well. Hypnotherapy is often questioned or mocked, I assure you it is an extremely relaxing & therapeutic experience that, in my strong opinion, yields far better results than traditional 1:1 therapy. Sean is the epitome of professional & finds ways to curate the session specifically to you & your personality. You'll also receive your personal recordings so that you may practice self-hypnosis & stay on track at home. As routine these are best utilized & in moments of weakness I highly advise utilizing this additional tool. I could talk to this guy for hours about my life, 10/10 recommend for any personal therapy needs.

Over the years, I began to notice my anxiety level increasing when it came to elevators, flying on airplanes, and standing in closed garages. I ignored the issues for years, but made the decision to seek professional assistance when the … More anxiety began placing limitations on my life. I went into my sessions with positivity and confidence that I would overcome the obstacles. To make a long story short, Sean was able to assist me will all of my issues! I was able to enjoy elevator rides, fly to Virginia Beach, and stand in closed garages. Sean is amazing! I highly recommend his services!

I have struggled most of my life with issues stemming from childhood and felt like I was finally at a breaking point. I couldn’t seem to conquer binge eating and realized I wasn’t equipped with the tools necessary to break free. I knew … More that ultimately my issue was not food-related but attached to trauma. After our initial consultation, I knew I wanted to work with Sean no matter the cost. My first in-person visit with Sean was nothing short of fascinating. I came out of the hypnosis exhibiting an unexpected - but amazing - emotional release. It was incredible to feel decades of pain and anxiety loosen its hold on me. Sean gives you the advice, confidence, and support you need to reach your goals, but you have to do your due diligence and put in the work. You must make it a daily habit to listen back to the recordings of your sessions so you benefit from the full experience of what hypnosis can offer. Above all, Sean has been a great sounding board and, for the first time ever throughout years of counseling, I have had “aha!” moments. You can get to where you want to be, and Sean will show you how.

Sean has become a transformative figure in my life recently and I wish that anyone who is on the fence about coming in and experiencing what Sean can do for you, to hop on over and do so.
I first came to Sean to help me get rid of the … More my horrible smoking habit - which upon exit of his office I have quit cold turkey and never looked back (going into my 4th month smoke free). It didn't stop there... We've done sessions on making healthier decisions, reduction on anxiety, and guidance on important relationships in my life. Every single aspect we've touched on, I've made improvements in. There is still work to do on your end - reinforcement and re-listening to the sessions provided to you are key to how the changes you want to make, stick.
There is so much more to say, but trust you are in good hands with Sean. He's the real thing!

I would highly recommend Sean for
hypnosis therapy. I've been smoke free for over a month now, and couldn't have quit without his help.

Sean is an incredible therapist. I had been struggling with stress and medical issues that were greatly affecting my mental health. My days were clouded with disinterest until my first session with Sean. After just one session, I regained … More the motivation that made my life so happy and exciting before, and started the path to true recovery.
The way Sean is able to create a cohesive, totally customized hypnotherapy session is incredible and skillful. It felt like he truly knew me after just talking for 30 minutes. As a result, I was able to quickly take in the suggestions and incorporate them into my mind.
Sean comes highly recommended!

There are people out there in your life that you never forget. Sean Wheeler is one of the best hypnotists out there, he genuinely cares about the people that he works with and he gets solid results. Now, I wonder, how could somebody be … More that good, and I found out. He has worked with thousands of people and done over 10,000 sessions and he's truly a gifted healer. His wealth of things he can deal with from stress relief, to business coaching, to even helping cure allergies is amazing. I highly recommend working with Sean if you get the opportunity to book sessions with him. The results will speak for themselves in your life. Worth every penny.

Don't knock it 'til you understand it and then give it a shot. Preferably an appointment with a seasoned professional, like Sean. Had real results.

Danielle ★★★★★ 3 years ago

Sean is so AMAZING!! Before seeing him, no matter how hard I tried, I felt like everything was going wrong in my life, I only wanted one thing just crawl up into bed for the rest of eternity. After having my first 2 sessions, he helped … More me discover other options in life and it felt really good. My mood has improved, I am able to sleep and I am motivated to move forward and try new things. Today, I am whole new person and I feel like I have a new and rewarding life. Thank you Sean for everything!!

Alison Recasens ★★★★★ 3 years ago

After trying 2 other hypnotists in town I could really appreciate Sean's method for hypnotherapy. I had chronic insomnia resulting in severe and constant headaches for decades. After one session I slept better and the pain was gone. … More The two next sessions I felt a wonderful calm and further improvement. I'm getting my life back! Thanks Sean!!!

Josh Key ★★★★★ 2 years ago

I can honestly say I was very skeptical of "hypnosis" and I didn't really know what to expect. I had a few friends that had success with it and particularly with Sean Wheeler. I have used tobacco for over 25 years and after … More my first session I simply threw it all in the trash and have not touched it since! At the 2 week mark I had a follow up appointment more focused on stress and anxiety relief. Sean has a way of talking with you that just eases your mind and helps you see things in a new light. After the therapy sessions and the hypnosis I can truly say that I am a believer in hypnosis and Sean Wheeler.

Carrie Britt ★★★★★ 2 years ago

I went to Sean for help for a phobia that I had been dealing with my whole life. The anxiety associated with the phobia had become unbearable and I knew that it was at an unconscious level that I couldn't reach on my own. I had met … More with another hypnotist several times but the phobia was not improving. Then I found Sean and was so grateful when I was able to get an appointment with him. He skillfully used NLP and hypnosis to help me with the phobia and I felt like a new person after just one session with him. I highly recommend him! Don't hesitate to make what could be the best decision you've made in a long time - book an appointment!

Sean did a great job over three sessions preparing me for my AFF skydiving jumps. I was completely relaxed on my first jump and made it *almost* effortlessly through the class and all my coached jumps. Definitely worth the investment … More and I will use him again!

I wanted to quit smoking and felt that hypnosis was the only thing that would work, since I knew the thought of needing to smoke was all made up in my head.
I did alot of research and came across Sean Wheeler. I went into this ready to … More quit but also nervous that if this did not work nothing would.
I am happy to report that I am almost 2 months cigarette free!
But that's not even it...Sean helped me with many other things as well. I feel lighter, more positive and less fearful of the unknown.
I would and have recommended Sean to anyone looking to make a change in their life that they just can't manage to do on their own.
I did 3 sessions and each one gave me something positive that I will be able to use forever.
Thank you Sean!!

Simply amazing. Sean is a great guy who really knows his craft. He has helped me immensely with a couple of different issues--I highly recommend that you give him a try. You won't be disappointed.

Beth Scheinfeld ★★★★★ 3 years ago

Sean changed my life and how I view myself in ways I never imagined. In my early 60s, after many hours of talk therapy off and on since my teens, I considered myself a finished product incapable of further change. My key goal in seeing … More Sean was to stop the near constant voice of self hatred in my head that made me wonder how long I could live with it wearing me down. The change after just one session was dramatic and astonishing. Not only was the voice gone, I felt lighter and freer as a result, happier and less likely to second guess my actions and more patient with myself and others. Its been several weeks since my last session with Sean and I can honestly say the positive effects of the hypnosis have not diminished. I'm more positive about future possibilities for change, growth and experiences. Overall a worthwhile expenditure. I'm so glad I did it.

Richard Watson ★★★★★ 3 years ago

Sean is amazingly awesome. I have smoked for 21 years and he helped me quit with one session. Sean is honest, professional and is genuine. You can see he really cares about his patients. The journey of quitting is not easy and he makes … More it clear that there is a level of effort.
But what Sean can do is enlighten you and empower you to make changes in your life for the better. I will be forever thankful to him for helping me live longer and be there for my new born daughter. You rock Sean.

I had been eyeing Sean’s services for about a year and finally took the plunge. I wanted to break a really bad habit that I had been doing for 24+ years. After ONE session, I quit. It was unbelievable. I had a total of three sessions booked … More so the final two he helped me with anxiety, positive thinking, and self confidence. Those will take a bit more time but my mom noticed a difference immediately. I respond to people much more calmly since majority of my thoughts are now good ones instead of mostly negative, if not all negative. I wasn’t aware that was something I could even change. I figured I had been dealt the cards I was given and that was that. I highly recommend Sean. Not only is he a great hypnotist, he’s a great therapist. Tells it like it is, gives great advice, and helps you realize things about yourself you may not have understood previously. He figured me out in about 10 minutes during the first session. I will be going back!
