1. The Arizona Hypnotist

Website: https://thearizonahypnotist.com/

Address: 6895 E. Camelback Rd #103, Scottsdale

Contact: 602-400-0653

Hours: Monday through Saturday 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM, Sundays by private appointment (24-hour availability for remote/international sessions)

If you’re an athlete struggling to find focus or someone trying to navigate deep emotional loss, walking into an appointment with Pattie Freeman feels incredibly reassuring. 

As a Board Certified Hypnotherapist, she effectively weaves traditional hypnosis with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people find profound mental clarity. 

When a friend of mine saw her for sports mental training, they noticed a massive shift in their confidence on the golf course within just a couple of appointments. 

Her practice offers advanced alternative options like Virtual Reality (VR) therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and BAUD-Sound Therapy, all under one roof. 

She also recently published her book “Beyond the Sorrow”, which focuses beautifully on navigating grief through subconscious healing.

While her in-person sessions are highly regarded with a 97% success rate, a few clients mentioned that the phone-based remote format can sometimes feel a bit less immersive than visiting the office.

Will make you feel comfortable, and will listen to your concerns

This has been my first time ever trying hypnotherapy sessions. I have had 3 sessions with Patti and I will definitely come back. She is wonderful and caring. Patti will make you feel comfortable, and will listen to your concerns. Her sessions are very relaxing, healing and effective in dealing with trauma, or other issues. Highly recommended!

2. Doc Hypnosis

Website: https://dochypnosis.com/

Address: 14045 N 7th St Ste 2

Contact: (602) 314-1907

Hours: Monday through Friday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday (Appointment Only)

Breaking free from deeply ingrained subconscious loops can feel nearly impossible when you’re relying solely on sheer willpower. 

Dr. William Deihl offers a highly practical approach grounded in real-world habit change rather than mysterious mind control tropes. 

As a third-generation hypnotist who was named Man of the Year 2026 by the Top 100 Registry, he brings a deep family legacy to his modern practice.

He explicitly avoids generic scripts, meaning every single session is custom-built around your specific nervous system and unique emotional blockages. The focus here spans a huge range of issues, from heavy professional burnout to persistent trauma responses. On the downside, some people dealing with sleep-related concerns didn’t see their desired improvement, and you might feel rushed to book extra sessions before seeing your final results.

Thoughtful, client-centered hypnotherapy services

Working with Doc Hypnosis has been an absolute joy. This partnership is built on mutual respect, deep care for clients, and a shared commitment to ethical, transformative work. Doc Hypnosis brings professionalism, integrity, and genuine compassion into everything they do.

At Soul Echo Therapy, we are grateful for this partnership and truly enjoy working alongside Dr. Deihl, and his team. We highly recommend Doc to anyone seeking thoughtful, client-centered hypnotherapy services.

Immediately started to notice the difference

I was diagnosed with anxiety during Covid and from that I gained insomnia. I had so many issues and no matter what medicine I took I still could not seem to get a normal nights rest. After some of the hypnotherapy here I almost immediately started to notice the difference. Now, I am so much more comfortable when it comes to sleeping. Could not recommend this place enough!

3. Scottsdale Hypnosis

Website: https://scottsdalehypnosis.com/

Address: 11260 N. Tatum Blvd. Suite #145

Contact: 602.614.4471

Hours: By Appointment Only Monday – Saturday 9 AM–9 PM, Sunday 9 AM–6 PM

If you’re looking for an immersive wellness experience that goes beyond standard talk therapy, Scottsdale Hypnosis provides highly specialized care. 

They feature a unique service called “The Body Tune-Up,” which beautifully combines traditional in-office hypnosis with tuning forks for frequency-based sound and vibration healing. 

They also provide premier private multi-day intensives and VIP concierge services for clients wanting deeply focused personal development.

Their massive service menu covers niche topics like tinnitus relief and sports performance, and they recently added a Board Certified Medical Education Consultant to add a strong clinical edge.

Also, it’s incredibly convenient that they accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to make out-of-pocket costs more manageable. 

Just keep in mind that they operate strictly by appointment only, so you can’t drop in spontaneously. Some clients also question the overall value relative to the premium pricing.

Probably the most positive experience I have had in a long time

I cannot say enough good things about Ellie. In any business/service/etc Ellie is probably the most positive experience I have had in a long time.

Consummate professional the entire time. Will refer friends to her.

Our son was very relaxed and in a great mood

We visited Colleen to help our picky eating son to open himself up to try new foods.  She was prepared with a clear plan with many helpful tips and ideas to help our 8 year old son on his journey.  After each session, our son was very relaxed and in a great mood and he was very comfortable with Colleen!  We are now in the process of trying to utilize our new knowledge into everyday practice!  Thank you Colleen!

4. Craig Meriwether Hypnotherapy

Website: https://craigmeriwether.com/

Address: 1717 W Northern Ave., Suite 117-B (Online Sessions Only)

Contact: (928) 699-7349

Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM, Sunday 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM

Overcoming severe anxiety or chronic physical discomfort requires a practitioner who truly understands the deep connection between the mind and the central nervous system. 

Craig Meriwether is a graduate of the renowned Hypnotherapy Academy of America, holding 500 hours of clinical training as a Medical Hypnosis Specialist. 

His specialized approach incorporates Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques to help clients reshape their subconscious habits.

During my own virtual consultation call with him, I felt an immediate sense of calm as he explained how he teaches rapid self-hypnosis strategies for long-term self-management. 

Sessions are held completely via secure Zoom, allowing you to experience clinical therapy from the comfort of your own couch. 

But because his Phoenix presence is entirely virtual, you’ll have to travel up to his Flagstaff office if you absolutely prefer traditional in-person appointments.

Able to quickly find and neutralize the terror

I noticed over time a deep old terror that was stopping me from living my life fully and in the direction I wanted to go.  I couldn’t identify the terror or anything about it, just that it was there and blocking me.  Craig was able to quickly find and neutralize the terror, which turned out to be a small incident from when I was two.  He was marvelous – kind, friendly, encouraging, open minded, and (best of all) successful.  I’ll definitely go to him again next time I need hypnotherapy.

It was the best thing I ever did! 

Craig Meriwether is amazing at what he does. I have tried many different types of talk therapy but nothing worked. I was hesitant to try hypnotherapy but it was the best thing I ever did! I only had one session with Craig and since then many issues I faced have gone away. I highly recommend trying it out. It was my last resort and I wish it was the first thing I tried.

5. The Healing Quest

Website: https://www.thehealingquest.com/contact-kate.html

Address: 6925 E 5th Ave Suite 101, Scottsdale

Contact: (480) 695-1936

Hours: Tele-Counseling/Skype Hours: 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM, Phone Availability: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Every day

Dealing with sudden panic attacks or long-standing stress can leave you feeling completely isolated in your daily life. 

Practitioner Kate Ellis of The Healing Quest specializes specifically in the rapid relief and remission of severe anxiety, using an integrated protocol that combines clinical hypnotherapy with cognitive behavioral methods. 

As a former President of the Arizona Society for Professional Hypnotists, she brings over 30 years of counseling experience to her customized treatment plans.

Her background is deeply comforting because her clinical approach is informed by her own personal history of overcoming panic challenges. 

And I love that she places a strong emphasis on teaching clients independent self-hypnosis skills so they can confidently maintain their mental balance outside of the office. 

Still, you should know that treatment often requires multiple sessions to achieve lasting results. Some clients have also noted communication gaps when trying to schedule their follow-up appointments.

She has helped me become a more centered person.

Kate is a fantastic person. I have known her for over 10 years and she does great work. She helped me quit smoking. After 5 hypnotherapy sessions I found myself not craving cigarettes. Over all she has helped me become a more centered person. I strongly recommend hypnotherapy as well as counseling with Kate Ellis.

Successfully correct patterns of anxiety

I would highly recommend Kate to any of my family or friends. In one summer she was able to successfully correct patterns of anxiety that I have struggled with for years. She makes her clients her top priority and is available outside of scheduled sessions and regularly checks up on how you are doing. I have had a very positive experience with Kate and hope others keep an open mind about hypnotherapy and give it a try!
