Meet Catherine Coleman, CCHt

I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, coach, educator, author, and an Associate Instructor at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute.

I help clients work with vocational and avocational concerns such as stress, habits, emotions, confidence, sleep hygiene, school and work goals, and personal change. I use hypnosis, along with coaching, EFT, guided imagery, and mind-body approaches when they support your goals. Sessions are not one-size-fits-all. Each session is built around you and the patterns you want to change.

My approach draws on hypnotherapy, coaching, mind-body psychology, and principles of neuroscience. Many habits, emotional responses, and patterns of behavior are not changed by willpower alone. Hypnosis and coaching can help with attention, relaxation, imagination, emotion, and learned patterns of response in a focused and supportive way. My background in education, academic coaching, and English coaching adds another layer of support for those working toward school and work goals. 

My path to hypnotherapy was not a straight line. I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, volunteered with doctors in Mexico, and built much of my working life around education, language, and student support in California. 

After deep personal loss during the pandemic, I found the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. In many ways, hypnotherapy brought together the pieces that had been there all along: teaching, language, the mind, the body, change, and the question of how people can succeed. 

With patience, practicality, compassion, and respect for your unique life experience, I meet you where you are. All you need to bring is a willingness to open the door to change and a commitment to doing the work. Neuroplasticity reminds us that change is possible, not always easy, but definitely possible. Together, we work toward where you want to be.
