hypnosis isn’t magic. You are.

I'm Devon Adams, Certified Clinical Hypnotist.

Sure, hypnosis can feel like magic—because it is an incredibly powerful tool to naturally improve sleep, perform with confidence, and change your habits.

But at its core, hypnosis is really a bridge to something you already have: the incredible creative strengths within your own unconscious mind.

Working with me 1:1 provides in-depth support for your journey to feeling, sleeping, and performing your best ever…

No wands required.

“I was stuck in a toxic job that zapped all of my energy. She helped me regain my energy, work on my attention and concentration and reduce stress. I was also not sleeping well and I saw an immediate difference after we started working together. I also got a new job that I love. I do credit our work together that helped me gain the energy to job search, leave my baggage behind and give my best effort in the interview process.” —Client

what is hypnosis?

a gentle way to connect you—to YOU

Hypnosis is a natural, everyday state of focused awareness that produces a heightened sense of openness. You might recognize this state from a feeling of being “in the flow” with a creative project. This gentle state of awareness allows us to connect to the deep internal resources in the unconscious mind that might not always be available to us consciously. In clinical hypnosis, we apply these resources to our goals, naturally aligning your conscious awareness with your unconscious responses. This allows us to replace old unconscious patterns with new ones, increase comfort and wellbeing in the body, and make lasting changes in how you feel and perform.

what should I expect?

An integrative approach to coaching and hypnosis

Before we work together one-on-one, we’ll schedule a quick phone or video consultation where we can discuss your goals and my approach, and determine if we are the best fit to work together. When we’re sure it’s a confident “yes” for both of us, we’ll develop a plan to move forward. Each hypnosis session is different, varying based on the needs of the client.

We’ll meet online, in a place that is comfortable for you. Together, we’ll integrate brief, powerful hypnosis exercises with periods of guided goal-setting and deeper trance states to create an empowering program of change. As we work together, I’ll teach you practical tools you can use to support the changes you’re making. Hypnosis is not therapy, and doesn’t replace therapy: rather, it’s intended to integrate with other modalities such as therapy or medical care. This means most clients don’t see me for months or years—instead, it’s most often somewhere between two and eight sessions. My goal is to equip you with tools that really make a difference, and help you make the changes that matter to you, so that you get out of my virtual office and fully into your life, feeling incredible.

“As I write this, it's been several months since I've worked with Devon but my 2 sessions were so impactful that they still help me on a daily basis. I'm excited for the future, knowing that my mind can aid me in accomplishing my dreams and goals. I don't have to be afraid of failure or those negative thoughts that hold so many of us back!”—Trevor

Devon Adams

clinical Hypnotist, Integrative coach

Hello! I’m Devon Adams, practicing clinical hypnotist and integrative coach since 2015.

Hypnosis took me by surprise. As a skeptical 20-something I signed up for my first hypnosis session (on skype! way back when!) feeling hopeful but not particularly convinced: yet those early sessions gave me back the dance career I had almost lost to anxiety and binge eating.

Fast forward to now, after nine years as a professional hypnotist, I want every new client to know two things about my approach;

1: you don’t need a magic wand.

Take it from me, a lifelong over-achiever who was always trying to “get it right” and follow all the rules in hopes of relief. Truth was, my striving for a magic success formula only exacerbated how out-of-control I felt about my sleep, my eating, my performance anxiety and procrastination.

2. you are the magic wand.

My approach to hypnosis is centered around YOU: so my job is to listen deeply, see your strengths, and help you make changes in a way that lets you actually harness those strengths so that change can come naturally. It is your mind, your body, your life, after all; so the process is tailored to put you more in control of your outcomes. Less “I have to get it right” and more “I have what I need.”

Let’s work together

Working with me 1:1 provides the most in-depth support for your journey.

Your brain is unique, so we tailor our approach to meet your needs: no cookie-cutter programs or huge packages, just the tools you need to get you where you want to go.

First, we have a consultation to make sure we are the right fit. If we have a hell-yes about the plan to move forward, we’ll get your sessions on the calendar.

Y’all, it’s 2024: Hypnosis sessions are happening via zoom, and better than ever.

Pros of working online: you’re making new changes in the very environment that used to trigger the old habits (fave example: helping an insomniac client learn to get her best sleep ever, while she relaxed in the same bed where she’d spent the last year tossing and turning…so everything about her sleep environment got unhooked from anxiety and rewired to create relaxation). Because of this, I’ve had the highest success rates of my 9-year career during the 4+ years since I converted my practice to work entirely online.

Cons of working online: we can’t sneeze on each other, and you’ll never know what I smell like (probably for the best, if my brutally honest 4-year-old is to be believed).

I’ve served over 900 clients through 1:1 sessions of hypnosis and hypnotic coaching, and this is where you’ll see the biggest results.

Consultation: Free

Intake Session (2 hours): $325

Follow-up Sessions (60-90 minutes): $295 each

“I went to Devon when I felt like I had tried every other resource out there. Right off the bat she was so incredibly warm and welcoming. She walked me through the science of hypnosis and answered any and all of my questions. In a world that tells us we aren't good enough and don't have what we need, Devon helped me to see that I have everything I need inside of me. She gave me tools to use outside of our sessions together, taught me breath work that I still use on a daily basis, helped me with breaking a lifetime of negative patterns & mindsets, and got me to set achievable goals so that I wasn't setting myself up for failure. I finally feel like I've found the lasting changes I've been looking for.”

—J, 2017

“The anxiety that I was feeling because I was unable to sleep was gone immediately after the first session. After two sessions my sleep has improved immensely. In addition to the hypnosis, Devon taught me some helpful techniques that I could use every day. Working with Devon was a wonderful positive experience. I have recommended her to several friends.

FAQs

  • My favorite clients are the ones who come to me skeptical: "I don't think I can be hypnotized." If this is you, don't worry--you're probably a really good candidate. Hypnosis is far from mysterious. It's a natural, everyday state of trance that we go in and out of all the time. If you have the ability to follow simple verbal instructions, can concentrate well enough to watch a short video, and are imaginative in a way that allows you to get caught up in a good story or imagine the way you'd like to feel in the future, yes, you can be hypnotized, though you must choose to do so. 

  • In reality, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, even when assisted by a skilled hypnosis practitioner. Hypnosis is a process which requires your participation throughout. Applied self-hypnosis is a learned skill, and we will work together to help you learn to use this skill in your daily life.

  • No. Any trance or hypnotic session can come to a close whenever you choose. Because hypnosis is a participatory process, it is your choice to enter hypnosis and you can always choose to leave it. If you were left in a hypnotic state by your hypnotist, you would either return to full consciousness on your own or drift into a natural state of sleep and awaken after a short pleasant nap. 

  • Yes. You are not unconscious, but rather in a heightened state of awareness with a specific focus of attention.  You are in calm, relaxed control, aware of everything that is being said, and nothing happens in the session without your ongoing consent.  

  • Hypnosis can feel different for everyone. Some people feel very relaxed, while others feel simply calm and alert. Some people report feelings of weightlessness, tingling, or other physical sensations, but these sensations are temporary and will fade at the end of the session. Many people report feeling comfortably relaxed and aware…a little like a meditation: but we are making big changes within this relaxed state of awareness.

  • Many people imagine hypnosis is a passive process or something magical, but it’s actually a unique, flexible collaboration. Hypnosis will look and feel a bit different for each person because every client brings their own history and way of thinking, and their own measurement for success. Also, each hypnotist is unique. My practice is grounded and goal-oriented. If you’re willing to take action steps and have a readiness for change, you're likely to experience wonderful benefits from hypnosis.

  • My priority with every prospective client is that you receive the right care for your situation, and the right person to support you on your journey: your wellbeing is worth the extra time to find the right fit. This question is often best answered through a free consultation, where we can get to know one another, ask questions relevant to your case, and discuss options.

    In general, hypnosis is an integrative approach that is intended to support, rather than replace, psychotherapy and/or medical treatment. As a hypnotist, I do not diagnose or treat any medical or mental health condition, though hypnotic support can often provide valuable tools to integrate with medical or mental health care.

    I often work collaboratively with therapists and doctors to support clients in improving outcomes. In some cases, I may recommend you seek a referral from your doctor or therapist before we work together, or even refer you to such a provider as-needed.

  • Many clients walk out of our first session feeling radically different. Hypnosis isn't like traditional therapy—you don't need to commit months or years before you see a change. We will work together to clarify your goals and yardstick for success. Your results will reflect your intentions, your willingness to practice, and your genuine desire to change. Every client has a different path to change, so we will spend a bit of time developing a plan that will be right for you. Some issues only require one or two sessions, and others are best addressed over six or eight. Generally, we'll work together for a few sessions, and then you'll have the tools to make the change permanent in your life.  

  • You +Me + your fave cozy spot on zoom, meeting live online together where you already feel most comfortable. You probably already know that hypnosis is one of those things that works great through a pair of headphones, and part of what makes video sessions so effective is the fact that you are connecting every change you make to the environment where you’ll actually be putting that change into practice. While I miss my sunny old office in the heart of North Austin, I’ve realized that in the years since converting to 100% online video sessions, my clients have seen their best outcomes ever, because live online hypnosis is effective, powerful, and customized to you.

  • Unfortunately, hypnosis is almost never covered by insurance, so I'm not set up to take insurance at this time. If you have an HSA or FSA, you may be able to use this type of account to pay for hypnosis sessions, though coverage varies: check with your account carrier.

  • For One-on-one hypnosis sessions:

    Initial Intake Hypnosis Session (two hours): $325

    Follow-up Hypnosis Sessions (60-90 minutes): $295 each

    For group programs, hypnosis recordings, and more, pricing varies.

a free video or phone consultation is the first smallest step to making the changes you’re looking for.

What’s in a consult? Easy-peasy: you’ll share a little bit about your story, I can share a bit about my approach, and that should give us a good sense of whether we are a good fit to work together. From there, we make a plan for how to move forward.

We’ll work together via video from wherever you are, connecting with your deeper self as you make changes.

reviews

“I have had anxiety since I was a child and finally turned into panic attacks over the years.  Generalized anxiety kept me homebound some days.  I could not drive or go into a store. I had tried hypnosis before but NOT with DEVON.  She explained the subconscious, the vagus nerve and how small incidents snowball into larger issues over time. There was no deep dark secret to be afraid of.  I didn’t have to get back to the first time I was anxious but just needed to retrain myself.   After 3 short and thoroughly enjoyable sessions... I was driving again and able to get my own groceries.” —K, 2018

“My child suffered from severe test anxiety. After just one session with Devon, she went from failing the math Staar test to getting an exemplary rating on it. After another session, there was a marked decrease in generalized anxiety that has lasted a couple of years. She also helped with audition anxiety. Not only does Devon use hypnosis, but she also teaches coping skills and tools to use in stressful situations. She also takes the time to connect with her clients to put them at ease and to build a plan for the client's best interest. I cannot recommend Devon enough. I have nothing but the upmost respect and appreciation for all that she did in helping my daughter be able to perform at the level she is capable of without the hindrance of anxiety. Thank you SO much!”

—J, 2017

“I was able to visualize my future self, let go of the barriers of my past and begin a new journey of self love and growth to achieve my goals. Several years later I am still breaking barriers I never thought possible before.” —Emily, 2022

“I could not speak more highly of my experience with Devon. I came to her with very bad anxiety and a phobia of public speaking. After 3 sessions, I feel like a different person, more calm more confident and ready to take on the world. Devon is kind, warm and personable so you feel completely at ease in her presence. She has helped me get rid of my demons and be able to live my life fully again. THANK YOU DEVON!!!” Alice, 2024

“I was interested in using hypnosis as a means to manage chronic GI issues that I knew were tied to a lifetime of anxiety. I found Devon because of her incredible reviews online, all of which proved to be right on point. Devon was warm, kind, and compassionate from the moment we met. She did a wonderful job of explaining the process and really helped me to understand that hypnosis was so much more than I ever thought. Our work together has been profound to say the least. We delved into pieces of my history that I didn't expect and I came away with not only less GI discomfort day to day, but also less physical pain overall, a deeper awareness of my body and the cues it is constantly giving me, a deeper relationship with the various parts of myself we accessed, and a more calm and flexible approach to my everyday life. I cannot say enough good things about working with Devon. She proved herself to be a thoughtful, flexible, and creative hypnotist and I will forever be grateful we crossed paths. A million thank you to Devon. Our work together has forever altered my life in the most positive of ways.”
