Meet Our Founder
Jane Parsons-Fein NYC Hypnosis
I am a social worker and clinical hypnotherapist with over 38 years experience working with individuals, couples, families and groups. Through the years I have refined my work by studying with four great teachers who brought new perspectives and new energy to the old world of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. All of these masters were originals and I have incorporated their work into my own way of communicating with people. I hope that if and when you work with me you benefit by my integration of the healing and empowering ideas of these pioneers. I think I am one of the few clinicians who has worked so closely with these four.
My experience as a student with Milton Erickson, M.D., a psychiatrist said to be the greatest medical hypnotist in the world, was powerful because he was so comfortable with his own unconscious. So I felt safe enough to be comfortable with my inner experiences. I was free to think and feel whatever I needed to and he was right there with me. I am committed to creating that deep level of safety with whomever I work.
I believe that Milton Erickson demystified hypnosis and revolutionized psychological and psychoanalytical assumptions of working with the unconscious. He changed the direction of psychotherapy and created possibilities for people to experience new levels of achievement and joy.
