I was new to Traverse City, moving from San Francisco, searching for a therapist with a hypnotherapy background and found Amelia. As a professional business women with a psych background, I was very clear about what I thought I needed. I definitively wanted someone who would listen to me, and would help me face some very tough situations. I also wanted to learn some new tools like hypnotherapy to handle stress. For the first time in my life, I took a break from my career to focus on me. Amelia gave me a safe place where I could let go of deep feelings and heal. I highly recommend Amelia as a therapist and a hypnotherapist. She is warm, kind and insightful. You will feel better in her care.

I referred my husband for his fear of flying. I think the therapy helped. The reason I am giving it one star is the inflexibility in her contract. Due to this, he felt like a paycheck instead of a patient. Observe: my husband works 5 minutes down the road from her office, instead of the courtesy of calling him when he missed an appointment (he noted in his phone that the appointment was at 4, it was actually at two pm, he takes full responsibility for this) she charged him the full amount of the appointment at 2:24 PM, and then called ME to let me know that he missed his appointment...at 3:11 PM. Why didn't she just take the time to call him on his phone, and let him know that his appointment was at two and he could've been there… Maybe for a shortened appointment but at least he would've gotten the therapy. She did not know that his trip was moved to a month later, and she could've had two or three more visits from him. Now he has to find another therapist.
