How We Can Help

In our work at Forward Life, we use a variety of techniques such as Clinical Hypnotherapy, Life Coaching, Neuro-Linguistics Programming (NLP), Psycho-Kinesiology, and Guided imagery to help people overcome obstacles and achieve success by having amazing results. So how is this possible?

Our extensive training, and our experience of providing psychotherapy for over 7 years has given us tools that allow us to communicate with, and makes changes within, the subconscious mind. And since 90% of our mind is not conscious, this can be very powerful.

The techniques we use facilitate dramatic changes in behavior, beliefs, and attitudes.   The issues do not have to be specific and past hurts do not have to be re-lived in order for change to occur. The amount of time for a person to successfully achieve their goals varies based on the specific goal, but the results can be surprisingly swift. Also, clients often happily report a ripple effect of benefits into other, seemingly unrelated areas in their life.

We provide individual, couples, group, and or family sessions.  We mainly see clients face to face for sessions at our locations: Norwalk, Placentia, and Long Beach.  

We provide services based on the client’s needs, preference, and goals, and use powerful tools and techniques which clients can also use themselves to gain control of their lives.

• Couples sessions are 55 minutes
• Family sessions are 55 -85 minutes
• Group sessions are 55-85minutes

We also provide phone coaching, and phone hypnotherapy sessions.
We have online products such as cds to buy and listen to at home to create positive changes, visit our products page for specialized Hypnotic Recordings to reinforce and enhance positive changes and feelings in a variety of areas.
