Clinical Hypnosis in Portland, CT

Portland faces Middletown from the east bank of the Connecticut River, a short trip across the Arrigoni Bridge. Michael Valalik, PMHNP-BC, offers evidence-supported clinical hypnosis for Portland adults, in person at the Middletown office or by telehealth.

Clinical hypnosis for Portland

For Portland residents, a clinical hypnosis session is essentially a bridge crossing away, one of the shortest commutes of any town in the area. That makes it easy to come in person for the first session, where Michael explains the process and works with you to define a specific, achievable goal.

From there, sessions can continue in person or shift to telehealth, whichever keeps the pace you and Michael agree on.
