Clinical Hypnosis in Durham, CT

Durham is a quieter, more rural town south of Middletown, home to the Durham Fair, and telehealth is often the more practical option for ongoing sessions here. Michael Valalik, PMHNP-BC, offers evidence-supported clinical hypnosis for Durham adults, in person at the Middletown office or by telehealth.

Clinical hypnosis for Durham

Given the distance, many Durham patients choose an in-person first session to meet Michael and get oriented, then continue by secure video for the sessions that follow. Either path works, and the decision is yours.

Rural distance does not mean a lower standard of care. Durham patients get the same focused, evidence-supported approach as patients minutes from the office.
